A Quick Update

Just a quick update - after Benjamin's meeting with Parents as Teachers. Ben is right on track for his developmental milestones. She is very impressed with all that he is doing. And, she gave us some great ideas for toys. Also included in the meetings - what we can expect in the coming months!

Now - this morning - I'm going to call and get him signed up for swimming lessons!! So excited!

Holy Cow!! I'm WAY Behind!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!



Hey all!! I just realized that I have not posted in a very long time. That's what happens when you're living life.



Well... here's a quick update! Benjamin has been sitting up on his own since about November 15th. He absolutely loves it and it's nice because he's content just sitting on the floor with his toys. Sometimes... he doesn't even need a toy ;)

He made it through the holidays with a big dose of family and fun!! He got way too many presents ;) That's part of being the first child! Eric says - no more toys!!! We did a lot of traveling and he did well - for the most part!! We got to see all sets of grandparents, both sets of parents and all siblings!! So, it was a very successful holiday! And, we made it on the roads - safe and sound!!


Benjamin is still eating like a champ! He loves his cereal, fruits & veggies. He's still a big fan of the fruits... and orange vegetables. Green... a little skeptical. He likes green beans, but only out of the jar and not when I make them! And, he's not a fan of peas!


This last month - he's been working on cutting his first tooth. I can see it gracing the surface of his gums! So, I'm sure it'll be completely through, soon.


He's also working on crawling. Sunday night Eric told me he was rocking back and forth on his hands and knees. And, when we stayed at Chris & Sara's on Saturday night, I found him trying to sit up from laying on his belly in the pack & play!! So - it will happen very soon!

Yesterday - I took Benjamin to the eye doctor for an exam. They say everything looks normal and his development is right on par. Tonight - it's a Parents as Teachers meeting. So, she'll tell us if he's on track for his developmental milestones.

And - lastly - if you didn't get a Christmas card from us - this was what was included... Benjamin being naughty...




And... nice!!!


Hope your holidays were great!!
