WALKIN! (with a little help)

The balance and leg muscles aren't quite there yet, but Benjamin already likes taking steps- with a little help from Grandma Kim.

Then, worn out by his vigorous stroll, he lounges in front of the TV.

DOIN' STUFF

Benjamin's learning to do all kinds of stuff. When we say, "Ready? ...Pull pull pull!" He lifts his head and pulls himself up (with a little assistance) by grabbing our fingers and pulling with all his might. It's one of his favorite things.

Also, he just flipped himself completely over from tummy to back for the very first time. What an independent young man!






























Also, he's started killing and eating his own prey! What a big boy!

16 WEEKS

At a visit to the doctor yesterday, Benjamin weighed in at a whopping 12lbs 9.5oz. Yep, he's well more than double his little bitty birth weight. Also, his head is up to 15 1/4" around- a 3 inch increase and he's now 23" tall- a 5" gain since birth!

A Little Video

We have had problems outputting video from our camera and are in the midst of deciding what to do, repair or buy a new one. In the meantime we sent out our most current footage to be transferred to dvd so we could input it into our computer and share some video with you all. Well, when we got it back it would not show up on our desktop when we inserted the disc. After trying everything we could think of we called the vender who said it was a Mac problem. Ugh. Maybe it's a PC problem on his end?? Anyway, he offered to redo it. So we brought it back in, waited 4 more days and this is what we got. The titling is throughout the whole hour of video. And the quality is awful. *sigh* But I can't wait anymore so I'm going ahead and uploading what we have now and see what happens when I call back to the guy on Monday.

This video is from a couple of weeks back. Benjamin was making bubbles that day and talking a lot. Enjoy!

Happy Easter!

3 MONTH/13 WEEK BIRTHDAY

To celebrate Ben turning 3 months (and 13 weeks) old today, we've had an adventurous weekend! Not only did we go to Grandmommy & Granddaddy's house, but also to Babies R Us, Target, The Fresh Market, Petsmart & La Fiesta! Whew! Oh yeah, and he learned to fly!

Here are some highlights...

HAPPY FACE!

We've already featured some of Benjamin's mad and sad faces, so in an effort to keep things fair and balanced, here are some of the smiles he's been practicing.



















And then we have some faces that we aren't too sure about...
