Ben the Explorer

The combination of Ben's new mobility and the glimpses of nice weather we've enjoyed lately has brought out the inner adventurer in our son! Usually cuddly-Ben squirms to be let down and a simple passage from the car to the house after school turns into a rock-collecting expedition, with the treasures taken as close to inside the door as Mommy allows.

And it's hard to be a short person who can't see out of windows and can't reach the doorknobs. So once I comply to his totally polite requests to open the door, he has a big time pointing at birds, following Zoe, and trying to escape the confines of our yard!

Such sweet moments in his little red overalls. I can't believe how much he's getting around now! He's always been serious about playtime, that one. :)

Thanks for posting videos!

Too TOO much! I have to remind myself how new this whole walking thing is when he seems so steady, even with his hands full. Just a few more days before I'll be able to see him in action for myself and I can hardly wait!
