New family member

I'm sure you have all heard the news that we are expecting a new family member the end of July. Here is the first picture of the new little one. Yes he or she looks a little alien like, but its only an 8 week image.

Reading

Ben is the newest family book worm. He loves for mommy and daddy to read to him. Sometimes he just likes to read outloud to himself. I wish I had a recording of him "reading" but I guess pictures will have to do.

Playing together

Avery and Ben do plenty of fighting over toys, whatever the other one has is more fun than what they are playing with. I actually caught them playing together peacefully on camera just to prove it is possible. : )

Horse back riding

I discovered yesterday that Ben has learned how to climb up on to his rocking horse and rock away. He is such a monkey!

Playing with Pepsi

One of Ben's favorite "toys" are soda cans. He decided to see how high he could stack them.

New Years Day

New Years Day we actually celebrated Christmas with Josh's two sisters and their families. It was nice to have every one together again. Ben has a lot of fun playing with his cousins.
