Just getting caught up in some pictures from the past couple of weekends. When my parents were down for Ben's birthday, they clocked in for grandparenting duties bright and early on Saturday as both Tyler and I had to work.
Then it was time for a nap. Doesn't he look huge in his crib?
Followed by lunch, where Ben likes to maintain control over at least one bowl and spoon at all times.
"So big!"
Ben and Grandpa played with his car for a while,
but soon the need for more horsepower led them to put on their Harley paraphernalia,
and head to the HD compound.
A boy, his road warrior and his snack cup.
That night, Jess and Michael arrived and we feasted on Mexican. The next morning, Ben sat (ie: played, climbed) in his new chair, wearing his new pj's.
Boing, boing! Who needs springs in your chair when you've got them in your bottom?!
And this week: more new pj's and a rousing game of hide-n-seek!
By mid-morning, Ben and I and especially Zoe were ready to take advantage of the beautiful weather. Beautiful to look at, mind you, but still pretty cold for stroller riders...hence the snow suit and hat.
After a jog/walk around the 'hood, Ben played on the back porch for the first time as a mobile person. Too cute!
My view as I played fetch with the kids.
You may think he's pointing at Zoe's extraordinary tongue,
but it's really the ball he's after!
Once Tyler got home from work, we went on a fun family outing (pics to follow), but not before Ben had enough time to scurry into the bathroom and discover the joys of the toilet-paper roll!
"So soft against my skin!"
Tyler doesn't have to work this weekend, so who knows what we'll do with ourselves?! Two days to go...
As always, Mom did a stellar job of documenting her time with Ben in pictures. (If you move quickly through the pictures folder on our computer, you can practically watch a virtual flip-book of Ben's day!)
First Ben and Grandma played in his room. Ben's a bit of a bookworm, in the sense that he enjoys pulling them off his shelf and carrying them around. And he even likes to look at them too!

No wonder everyone was worn out by the time we got there! Such cute pictures, and we'll have to see about getting that flip book printed.
Love the toilet paper roll mess! Now there's a trick that will only be funny the first time... :)
What is the obsession with toilet paper!?? Aubrey can sense the bathroom door open from across the house! I have to race her just to make sure I close the door before she attacks the toilet paper!
Ben looks like "Bad Ben" on that Harley! Best shot of Ben so far.
Hey Stacey! Ben is so precious! I can't believe how much he has grown! We just joined the blog world so just wanted to say hello!!
