Trick or Treat!

In the Burkett house, we kiss this little frog like it's going out of style. And yes, he does indeed turn into a prince after each and every smooch. Remarkable! Benjamin didn't go trick-or-treating this year, as the time change really messed up bedtime, but there's always next year. Happy Halloween!

 

Jumperoo!

Bouncy! Bouncy! Ben loves the Jumperoo, and I love Kim for loaning it to us! This ingenious piece of equipment buys me about twenty minutes every morning. We think crawling is right around the corner, as Ben has figured out how to get into 'crawling position'. Look out!

 

Playing . . .

Greg and I think of Ben's play time as just that, playing. We're constantly reminded that he's learning . . . and playing. The world, and everything in it, goes into Benjamin's hands, and then his mouth. We keep the Clorox wipes nearby! Smiling pictures are hard to come by these days, as the camera is far more interesting than the goofy sounds we're making from behind the camera to coax out a smile. Enjoy!

 

Are we having fun yet?

I promise our walks are more fun than Ben makes them look! Three teeth are on their way, and some days are just kind of tough. A little Motrin can go a long way, and smiles remain the norm!

 

Green beans are GROSS!

Squash is preferable, according to Benjamin. We've tried green beans (home-made, and I promise they taste great) two nights in a row, and Ben screws his face up with every bite. Then shudders!! Can't wait to try peas.

 

Busy Benjamin

Wiggle worm, busy bee . . . That's our baby! He's been working on a very unique sense of humor. Yesterday he giggled uncontrollably over the sound the shampoo bottle made when I squirted shampoo on his head. Each new stage is more fun than the last, how can that be possible?
