laundry helper

I caught Ben "helping" mom with laundry. He was picking the dirty clothes off the floor and putting them in the dryer for mommy. Unfortunately my camera was downstairs and I couldn't catch him in action. Here he is so proud of all the big help he is.

Ben's costume

Ben was a lion. I thought his costume was pretty cute for a thrift store find. As you can see, he really didn't care for his hat.

halloween playdate

We had a playdate halloween week. We got some really cute pictures of all the kids in their halloween costumes.

October

Ben had fun playing with daddy's hunting hat. He also enjoys playing with daddy's lawn tractor he can't wait until he is big enough to ride around the yard with daddy. We have a big walnut tree in our front yard the dropped tons of walnuts. Ben kept falling as he stepped on them and they rolled under his feet. He still thought they were pretty cool, as you can see he had one in each hand and carried them around for a while.

Mums and a pumpkin

I decided our house needed a few fall decorations. Ben loved to pick the flowers for mommy.

September

When my parents came for Ben's birthday my mom had made Ben a beautiful new quilt for his bed. They bought Ben the fire truck for his birthday. He hasn't quite figured out how to make it go himself, but he loves for mom and dad to push him around on it.

Ben and Sydney

Ben loves our cat Sydney. Sydney is very tolerant of Ben. She allows Ben to tackle her and lay across her, and just meows at him.

Ben and Avery

I'm watching my neice Avery while her parents are at work. She and Ben have blast together. Avery is 7 and a half months and just started crawling. Once she catches up with Ben and starts walking I had better watch out!

Hiking Bushkill Falls

My parents came for a week to visit at Ben's birthday time. We went on this beautiful hike to Bushkill falls here in PA.

Ben's Birthday

Ben turned 1 Sept. 5th. He enjoyed his birthday, although he was very tired. Ben loved the frosting on his cake, but wouldn't eat the cake itself.

Hello

I thought a blog would be a good way of sharing pictures of Ben with everyone so I thought I would try it out. Others make it look so easy, but we will see.

Ben is 14 months already, its so hard to believe how fast time flies. He is at a run in everything he does. Ben loves to be outside and would spend all day out if I would let him. He is definately all boy!
