Afraid of a Bunny! | Loving the Mohawk!

We took Bennett to down town Fairfield to see the Easter Bunny! Needless to say he was not impressed! The Mohawk, however, is always well received!!

Closer to walking

Happy 10-month b-day Bennett! I can't believe that it has been 10 months since he came into the world...only 8 weeks until he is 1! So now B is getting closer to actually walking--he will make pretty aggressive walks far between objects, however, he freezes up and puts his hand out to hold our hands when we try and make him do it without a safety net. Haven't found a toy or anything yet that will make him walk without holding on to something...

Cruising

While the little guys isn't walking yet, he can pull himself up and walk as long as the furniture will take him! We set up elaborate courses to get him walking the longest and therefore tired so he will sleep:-) For those of you counting...still no teeth yet!!

Some new pics of Bennett are up on my Photo Blog Here

Bounce

For those of you that miss seeing Bennett bounce, here is a new video. He is crawling all over the place and cruising from one end of the couch to another, so we won't be in the bouncer much longer...enjoy!

Happy 30th Birthday Karen!

Last night Mark and I celebrated Karen's 30th birthday. Though her birthday was back in January, Brian put together a great surprise night. The group was great with a reunion of most of their wedding party (if you will remember, Mark and I met at Karen and Brian's engagement party). Surprises for the night started with the dinner at Spark's steakhouse then a special delivery from The Cake Boss for Karen's cake decorated like the Tiffany's box that was her gift from Brian. We all then ventured over to the Chamber Magic show at the Waldorf. The show was excellent and full of great illusions...all up until he had everyone think of a well-known city in the United States. Then he pulled a woman from the audience and asked her to write down the name of her city. Then he asked her to look at a map and see if she saw her city on the map, which she said that she did. He kept asking questions until he pin pointed the city. He guessed that her city was in New Mexico, which she agreed it was, then picked Santa Fe. She said yes, until she realized that her city was San Antonio, but didn't know that San Antonio was in TEXAS, not New Mexico. Ladies and gentlemen, she was NOT smarter than a 5th grader! Thanks to Brian for planning such a special night!

And the first picture is Bennett eating ice cream for the first time!

Greetings from Lucy!

Just back from visiting Mike, Jess, Greg, Kyle, & over course Lucy in Seattle.

Drumming

So today Mark arrives in Montana to spend some time with The Boy. Here's just a little something for Bennett's favorite drummers!

Clapping!

I was trying to get Bennett's clapping fully on video, however, he is totally distracted by the cord on the camera. We got a couple of great claps on this one...he claps regularly now--just happened in the past two days, so we wanted to make sure it was for real before we posted it:-)
