New Toys

Matt was playing with Ben the other night, blowing on his tummy and Ben was laughing so loud I could hear him in the other room. Then Matt yelled for me to hurry up. I ran in the bedroom and Ben had Matt's hair in one hand and ear in the other. It was too funny not to take a picture before coming to the rescue.

Finally, asleep.
Matt bought Benjamin a Christmas tree for his room. I had planned on putting a "small tree" in his room, but Dad takes the cake.
A 6 1/2 foot tree it is!! Ben likes to look at it. Thank goodness he hasn't noticed it has no ornaments on it!
Can Mommy put that together?? Ben just sang to the little kid on the box.
Yes she can!!! Ben laid down for a nap and I had it finished before he woke up. Note to self, if it rattles when you shake the box, let Matt put it together!!


I finally got a hand on it!!
If you can't tell, Benjamin is propping his leg up on the bouncy seat to make it rock more (and sucking on his fingers)

Still trying to decide what to chew on...fist or rattle?
Right or left? Ben is sucking on both of his thumbs!

Professional Pictures

We had Rhonda come and take some pictures about a week ago...here are a few of the pictures that she and Kim took. If you would like for her to come and take pictures of your family, just let me know and I will get you in touch with her.

Working weekend

I had to work the weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Matt played Mr. Mom on Sunday and the grandparents were also on call for the weekend. Matt says he will call 911-Nonny for emergencies. It looks like Grammy and Nonny saved the day!! Even Pappy and G joined in on the fun.


Pappaw and Ben...Mammaw won't let me take her picture!!

Benjamin has found out that there are other things to chew on besides his hands! Although I think he prefers his hands.




Benjamin and Daddy getting ready for church. Grammy came to help get everyone ready since I was at work.

Ben borrowed Jake and Jack's outfit to wear

Do you think I am a Daddy's boy??

Just laying around

Ben playing with his ball

Busted!!! Sucking his thumb! I pulled his woobie from over his head and this is what I found!

Someone else likes to sleep with his head covered...
