Salsa

Ben loves salsa. And chips. So whenever there is salsa around, he must eat it. Even if it's mommy's HOT, spicy salsa. Now, to be fair, I could have taken it away from him. But I know him and I know that if I don't let him at least try something that he wants, he'll throw a tantrum. And his tantrums are nothing to mess with! So he tried my hot salsa. This is what happened.

When you watch, note that when he says "WAH!" that means "more" in Ben-speak.

Mommy's New Toy!

I haven't been happy with the quality of the videos I've been taking with my old digital camera. So, I splurged and bought myself a Flip camera!! It's SO easy to use, and the quality is 100% improved. See if you notice the difference...

ps-I just watched the video here on the blog, and the quality doesn't seem as improved as it does when I watch it on my computer (watching from the file directly). I'll have to figure out if there's a way to make it even better on the blog.

Body Art?

I think this speaks for itself...

Halloween Preview

(I JUST UPDATED THIS POST WITH A BETTER, RIGHT-SIDE-UP VIDEO!)

Yesterday I saw this Halloween costume at Costco... a COW! I knew that it was for Ben since he loves to MOO at pretty much anything and everything. We did a trial run to make sure it fit. He had a blast! My favorite part of this video is that there is still a hanger sewn to the hood... so funny! Enjoy...

Lunchtime Fun!

The three of us had an early lunch together today and Ben was happily giving "nose kisses" to his daddy so I grabbed the camera! I think this video speaks for itself. In my humble opinion it's one of the cutest things in the world!!

PS- If you listen closely, you can hear Ben say "bye bye" at the end!

The Artist!

Today I was reminded that there is no limit to what I will do in order to keep Ben entertained. He was pretty grumpy this morning so I grabbed the roll of paper and some paints and turned him loose in the backyard. These photos give a small sense of what fun he had... I will be cleaning paint off of not only Ben, but off of the patio furniture and steps for quite awhile. But it was so fun to watch him paint!!! Enjoy...






The little artist is napping now... here's a peek at the damage he did to himself!!!

Bye Bubbles!

Ben and I were playing with bubbles this morning and he started waving and saying "Bye bubbles!" each time they started to blow away. It was really sweet, so I grabbed my camera and tried to capture him doing it. You can get a sense of it here, though he was reluctant to let me blow more bubbles for him once the camera was rolling... But he did show off the wonderful *art* he composed on his legs this morning. He LOVES pens and drawing on himself (and anything he can get his hands on... our couch is in need of some spot cleaning!). Enjoy!!
