Play Ball!!!

We meant to post this on Monday. As you can see, Ben is very happy for the start of the new season.

Weekend with Grandma and Grandpa

Last weekend, Grandma Rose and Grandpa Jim came to visit.

So happy Grandma is finally here!

And now Grandpa is here too!

Trying to steal a drink from Grandpa. How can he say no to this smile?

Showing Grandma the park across the street.

So happy to be playing (and with no pants on).

Waiting for breakfast with Grandpa.

"What do you mean you and Grandpa have to leave?"

Saying goodbye.

Laughing Boy

We were finally able to get a good video of Ben laughing. Usually when he is laughing, he'll see the camera and stop. Not this time.

February

Some highlights of Ben in February:

Trying to help get myself dressed for my 6 month picture,

"I think I have my shirt on backwards..."

Matching with dad for the day-

by accident but still lots of fun!



Super bowl party with Aunt Danielle and Uncle Jimmy

Hanging out with Grandpa Jim :)

Helping Grandma Rose in the kitchen,

and waiting to get teeth to try some of her

delicious food!

I look sooooo cool in my new sunglasses :)

Snuggling my new friend that

Auntie Em got me for Valentine's day!

I can't crawl yet, but I sure can move.

I started out on the right side of the blanket

and made it all the way over to my rocking horse

before Mom caught me

Big boy in his high chair

Peas please...

6 months old today

Sweet potatoes, finger licking good.

Learning how to play DS from dad :) but still waiting patiently for his turn...

Celebrating Grandma's 23rd birthday (she is younger then my mom some how???)

More birthday pictures in Grandma and Grandpa's new house

Smiling as usually while playing with my dino truck

"I love playing with toys, but I especially like it when dad makes

silly faces at me before he takes a picture then I smile big!"

Starting my modeling career,

bibs are available online for purchase

Visiting Uncle Justy and Aunt Mary at their new home

Reading books with mom

and giving love to my favorite toy Giraffe-e,

what a great month January was :)

Lucas Alexander

Another new cousin!!! Lucas Alexander Van Hise was born January 27th. He weighed 9 lbs 2 ozs and was 21.5" long. We got to meet him yesterday and he is sooo precious.
