Busy At Eight Months
Benjamin is 8 months old today! This has been a week marked with firsts. Monday the 18th we used the stroller without the carseat attached for the first time. Tuesday the 19th he went from his tummy to a sitting position for the first time by using a sideways technique. Thursday the 21st he made his first arm moves FORWARD while crawling with some help from Grandpa Ray. And today, the 22nd, he drank water from the bottom of a bent straw for the very first time. And he's really digging the walker Grandpa Ray and Grandmommy Kim got him yesterday. Benjamin is so busy these days he often forgets to eat. He'd rather be looking, creeping, grabbing, strolling, etc.
In honor of Benjamin's busy-ness we celebrated his 8 month birthday out and about. We went to the Bicentennial Gardens and enjoyed the good weather and refreshing breeze, then went to lunch at the Korean buffet (where the straw milestone happened), and then strolled around downtown GSO and shopped. Once we got back home Grandmommy Kim fed him some sweet potatoes and rice cereal. Then it was off to a much needed bath. Whew! What a day!

GUINEA'S BACK!
(in all her snake-like glory... she was missing for most of last week. very tragic!)
...and she's taught Benjamin a new facial expression.
He laughs and smiles really big, but then holds the smile waaay too long and it becomes weirdly empty and slightly creepy (but still crazy crazy adorable!). It looks a little reptillian, like a Gila Monster.
And he of course has lots of other exciting, puzzling, and adorable expressions. Take a gander.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS
One of Benjamin's favorite things is to spend time outside.
He loves going on walks with Mommy and Daddy, or just hanging out in the front yard, where he stares in amazement at all the critters.
Mommy's also taken him to the park a few times. Even more stuff to look at... from beneath his super stylish hat, of course.
And don't forget granddaddy's pool on the 4th of July!
