Moving to a new blog

Okay, I know, I’m really behind on posting here.  Forgive me; I’ve was pregnant and then had a new baby, and I’m working as well.  I know, I need to write about Benjamin’s first birthday party and catch up on how he’s doing, and someday soon I hope to have time for that.  But now [...]

Almost a year old!

Oops, it’s been a while since I updated here!  Not a whole lot new though.  Benjamin is still not walking yet, but we’re getting closer.  He cruises all the time now and has been standing without holding on to anything for a few seconds at a time before he falls. He’s babbling a LOT lately, [...]

Starting to cruise!

Benjamin’s favorite activity for several weeks now has been to pull himself up to standing.  The other day he took a few steps sideways while holding onto the couch to go between me and his dad.  He is also starting to let go with one hand and use the other to balance himself.  I guess [...]

Benjamin does not like lemons!

Today was my mother-in-law’s birthday and we went to Applebee’s for dinner.  I have been giving Benjamin a little taste of just about everything we eat, and today I gave him the lemon slice that came with my iced tea.  Here he is before he tasted it: The first taste… What the heck is this?!? [...]

A lot can happen in two weeks!

So Benjamin is now speed racer with the crawling.  He follows us wherever we go, and when I’m working,  he crawls under my desk, which is a problem since I use the foot pedal for transcription.  So very soon we will be getting a baby gate so he can’t come into the room where my [...]

8 months old

Benjamin was 8 months old yesterday.   Not too many changes the last month.  He still hasn’t gotten the hang of crawling on his hands and knees yet.  He gets up there and tries to go, but he quickly falls flat on his face (I shouldn’t laugh, but I do; he’s not hurt) and then must [...]

7 months old!

Benjamin was 7 months old on 11/1 – I can’t believe it is going by so quickly.   This last month or so has been very eventful for him – now he’s sitting by himself with no problem and he’s mastered the “army crawl” – he pulls himself along to get somewhere just using his arms.  [...]

Almost 6 mos old

As my friend Nadia pointed out, I am way overdue in updating this blog. LOL  Part of the reason is that I’m pregnant again and always feeling sick, part of the reason is that I can’t find the cord to my camera so it’s a PIA to get the pics off using something else and [...]

Benjamin’s first State Fair

So we went to the State Fair today. Last year it was literally 100 degrees and I did not go. Today it was only 85 so we went. I am not overly enthusastic about the Fairs; there’s not a whole lot to see that interests me. But anyway, here is Benjamin outside the Petting Zoo… [...]

No more Zantac?

I was crazy busy this week and to be honest I kept forgetting Benjamin’s medicine. After two days without it he was still fine though, so I purposely didn’t give him any more, and now it’s been 5 days or so and he’s still fine! So I’m not going to give it to him unless [...]
