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!!

Vacation Part 2: The Farm

On the second leg of our vacation, we visited the Farm in Georgia! Ben had such a blast hanging out with the entire family. He especially LOVED riding on the golf carts with pretty much anyone who would take him for a spin! Grammy and Grandpa both went on lots of rides... and Mom Mom took him out for a spin or two, too! He hung out with Auntie Amanda and got to know his cousins, Anna and Graham, which was such a great thing to witness. Overall, it was a truly fantastic week! Here are some photos in no particular order (as usual!):

Vacation Part 1: Cape Cod

We spent the week of the 4th of July with my family (minus my dad, Ben's "Papi") at the Cape! It was so fun watching Ben and his cousin Tommy get to know each other better and to PLAY all the time! Here are a bunch of photos... in no particular order, but with some captions to make some sense of things.
