Yay! Baseball!

We went to see the Pawtucket Red Sox today. It was a great day. I had tons of fun. Daddy and I made up the "baseball dance" which consists of jumping up and down and saying "Yay! Baseball!" I did that a lot today. I got a hot dog AND french fries for lunch and I was very excited to meet Paws the polar bear. I even got a T-shirt and a little Paws bear to bring home with me. It was so much excitement, I crashed as soon as I hit my carseat.

Sleeping In

Daddy thought that maybe, just maybe, he could sleep in this morning.




Yeah, that didn't happen. Maybe next time.

Just because

Playground fun

Playing on the swings with Max.



Participating in some covert operations with Alex and Leah



Walking across the wobbly bridge. (Last week I was too scared to walk over this bridge and this time I did it!)

Sam's Bodyguard

I have recently become very protective (or is it possessive?) of my little brother. Whenever anyone gets near Sam, I tell them "Hey, that's MY baby!" They always back off because I am very serious.

Perpetual Motion Friday

This morning I played with my friends at Perpetual Motion. We had a ton of fun and I wore myself out!

Reading

Sometimes after my afternoon nap, I like to sit in my bed and read for awhile.




C'mon, Mom, leave me alone. I'm trying to read. Enough with the pictures.


I mean it. I will hide!


This is much better.

Basketball and Cookies

This weekend Grammy and Papa came to visit me. I went to my first basketball game with Daddy and Papa. We had a great time! I am a little distracted in this picture because I was looking for the large eagle who was wandering around.



The other highlight of my weekend was making train (and track) cookies. I couldn't quite figure out how to connect the train cars together but the cookies were delicious.

I like cake

This weekend Daddy and I made cake.




I took my job very seriously.


It was yummy.

Incognito

Today we took our monthly trip the the ICA or, as I like to call it, the Spider Museum (see my 10/27/07 post for explanation). We made masks today:



You can't see me.

My nurturing side

I am adjusting well to my big brother role. Yesterday I put Yertle the Turtle in the baby bjorn so I could carry him around. Then I told Mommy and Daddy "I got to burp him".

See, I get it.

Being Ben

This weekend Daddy took me outside to play in the snow. I decided I preferred to play in the slush and puddles. I got my clothes pretty wet and Daddy said I had to leave them on the porch to dry. That's why I met Mommy at the door dressed like this:

My parents will be keeping this picture to show to all my friends when I am older.

Mommy got my old play gym out of the attic for Baby Sam. He wasn't too impressed so I reclaimed it. I thought it made a pretty good cave. I have been taking my meals in here for two days now.

Go Pats!

Today I am teaching Sam about football. The most important things to remember are:
1. Wear your jersey on game day
2. Clap when everyone else claps
3. Make up a touchdown dance
4. Let Mommy take at least one good picture of any of the above






(By the way, you can see more pictures on Sam's Blog)

Indoor snow

It has been very cold outside for the past few days. Since I haven't had a chance to go out and play in the snow, I decided to improvise.

I'm a big brother!

We have a new baby at our house! He's my brother. His name is Sam. I am very happy that he is home. I like looking at his little fingers and imitating the funny squeaking noises he makes.

Merry Christmas!

Eating breakfast with Daddy and Uncle Andy


I had Curious George stamps in my stocking. I tried them out on my hands and then on everyone else's hands.



Daddy is trying to show me my new shirt


That's great, but I know there are toys around here somewhere



Mommy needs my help

Reading the instructions


Playing, playing, playing








I made a pretty good haul this year, it was quite overwhelming!


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Ben!
