Ten Months Old

Today, Benjamin turned ten months old. He smiles all the time and laughs a lot! He is cruising around furniture, singing, waving, teasing me by saying dada every time I say mama, and he is now totally weaned. I stopped breast feeding him on Sunday the 26th of August. He is doing ok with a sippy cup, but refuses a bottle from anyone but me. Oh well, he's not losing weight, so I am not going to worry now...

9 Months Old

Benjamin turned nine months old in Kentucky! We stayed with Walter's sister, Laurie, and her husband, Al, when we first got here. Ben was afraid of their dog, Arnie, at first, but got used to him and even crawled after him to pet him when he was finally comfortable with him!! Ben continues to be a delightful baby. We spent some fun days this month in Aunt Laurie's blow-up pool in the backyard. Ben is a real water baby - he loves the water and splashes bigger and better than Ethan and Daniel ever could have!!
