New Mexico!

Ben and Mommy just returned from a fantastic - if too short - visit with Coco and Papi in New Mexico. Ben did so well on the flights, and was a trooper through the whole trip.

He LOVED playing in the garden! Especially the rocks...

Coco bought Ben a "popper" to play with. He loved it. We didn't love the noise... but it was fun to watch him drag it along behind him, instead of pushing it in front!


Ben had a great time *helping*Coco water the garden... he followed her around, "stirring" the dirt once it was watered. It was a mess, but lots of fun!



He insisted on tasting the water...


Ben also had his first taste of watermelon!


I don't know if it was because the watermelon was cold, but he held onto his ears while eating it, which was really cute!

Like his cousin Tommy, Ben was fascinated by Papi. He liked to follow Papi around, watching everything he did very carefully!


And Ben loved playing with Papi's walker (which Papi doesn't have to use much anymore!)... it was like a little jungle gym for Ben.


On the way to lunch at Josephina's Gate, Ben fell asleep. He slept in Mommy's arms until midway through the meal. Then he had to explore the cafe's garden. He especially liked saying hello to the statue of Mary!



Overall, it was a wonderful trip!!
