Benjamin's First Haircut:
(He had quite the "baby comb-over" by the time I got around to this... Amy's job was to make sure he stayed entertained and didn't fall off the chair!)
Benjamin and Jack's first piano duet ;-)
Bryan and Benjamin:
Benjamin's new airplane toy:
Note the cardboard around the back wheels so it doesn't go too fast, it prevents face planting. ;-) These "training wheels" have since been removed, and he LOVES to walk with this toy! He just needs to figure out steering... right now he just runs into walls and remains stuck until someone turns him around...
I have no idea how he got here, I just found him...
So I've heard before that once you have more than one child, the older child (or children) teach the younger ones... well, it seems that our older "child" Lady has taught Benjamin that this is a great way to get your toys from place to place when you're crawling about! Works just as well with burp cloths, socks, blankets, etc... ;-)
This, my friends, is why you don't buy lots of toys when your kids are little, I think he played for this measuring cup for a good half hour!
It's kinda hard to see in this picture, but since it's gotten colder Benjamin doesn't like to crawl on his bare knees on the tile anymore, so this is his "crab-walk" crawl!
Benjamin walking around in his genuine Dutch wooden shoes!! They bang together and make fun noises each time he takes a step! Thanks Lizzy!! :-)
This was very funny to me, Benjamin "found" Lady sitting on the back porch... he he he. He was so excited!
NOTHING is out of reach anymore...
This is what we resorted to, in order to keep my sanity and prevent me from chasing Benjamin away from the Christmas tree 857 times a day... and to further ensure he didn't manage to pull it on top of himself...
More Christmas pictures to come soon!! :-)
