Movin' and a Groovin'

Yummy - potatoes. I think I like these!!

Hey guys - watch out, here I come!



Grandpa! How'd you get in that little phone?!?

Camera case cord - not quite as tasty as potatoes but it will do for now.

I feel so much better - being sick is no fun!

Ben "officially" crawled today for the first time. Before he was doing more of a scoot and roll combo but today he was talking to Grandpa on the phone and was determined to get that phone in his mouth and he made his move. After we put Ben to bed tonight Chris and I installed the gate at the top of the stairs and we only made one mistake with the drill! Next step will be the cabinet locks and moving some of the more hazardous items to higher shelves.
Chris has been home with Ben the past two days due to Ben running a high fever since Monday night. After two doctor visits and some blood work it was determined to be a viral infection and teething issues. Ben seemed to be feeling a lot better this evening and managed to get some quality play time with Mom and Dad before and after dinner.
We have also been introducing some new foods over the past week, ones that he can feed himself (or play with, however you'd like to look at it!) while we eat dinner. He has tried spaghetti noodles and some of Great-Uncle Ron Ramola's red potatoes (one of Mom's favorites!). Bella has enjoyed the spoils of Ben's attempts and is quickly learning to station herself under the highchair during mealtime.
