I like to yell

I've always liked the sound of my own voice. I've recently discovered I like it even more when it's loud. My new hobby is yelling. It's particularly fun when Mommy or Daddy have their hands full with something else. You should see their faces when I do that, it's hilarious!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This has been a very big week for me. I took my first plane ride to Atlanta to spend Thanksgiving at Grammy and Grandpa's house.

I was very good on the plane. I mostly slept (and made rude hand gestures).


I brought my hand with me so I'd have something to chew on.



Daddy and me on Thanksgiving morning.


I got to meet my great-grandma for the first time!




Everyone said that the food was delicious. I felt a little left out.



I tried to steal some of Grammy's food when she wasn't looking, but she's too quick for me. Next year I'm going to get some of that stuffing and no one can stop me.


I got a new bib and no one else did so HA!


Grandpa, Gran, Me and Daddy

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Look at what I can do!

mmmm....feet.

You can't make me smile.

This morning while I was hanging out in my crib, chatting with the animals on my mobile (those guys crack me up), Mommy attempted to obtain photographic evidence that I am a happy baby. I refuse to humor her.

4 month check-up

I went to my pediatrician this morning for my 4 month check-up. I am now 15lbs, 7oz and 26 inches long. Dr. Sanders said I look great! She thinks that I might be an "early mover", so I have to remind Mommy and Daddy to baby-proof the house very soon. I can't wait to get moving. I've been eyeing that CD rack for months. I had to get some shots, which I did not enjoy at all. (Mommy didn't enjoy it either). I felt much better once I was back in my car seat and going home. I took a nice, long nap to recover from all the excitement.

Mommy got a bargain.

I am the proud owner of a new bumbo seat.

Apple-picking

Today Mommy, Daddy and I went to Honey-Pot Hill Orchard in Stow, MA to pick some apples. My parents like to mess with me by showing me a bunch of fruit I'm not allowed to eat. It's okay though because I had fun pulling leaves off the trees and falling asleep in my Baby Bjorn.
(Uncle Andy thinks I look like "a chick" in this hat. I was trying to keep the sun off of my face. Does his skin look this good? I think not.)

A day in the life of Ben

Yawn




Good Morning, I'm hungry!


I said "food", not "diaper".



The TV distracts me while Mommy tries to get me to burp.


Napping in my swing.



Not for long.


I had a surprise for Mommy in my diaper. I usually prefer to poop in the evening.


All dressed.


Working out on my gym.


It was a battle of wills, but Mommy won and I took a long nap.


When I woke up, it was bathtime.



I played with my toys in my bouncy seat.



Then Daddy was home. Yay!!


Time for my bottle...yummy.


Storytime and off to bed.

Good night!
