Tough Guy

He thinks he's such a tough guy....but I know better.

This little man LOVES his blankies. He can't sleep without them. Any super soft, sluggly, silky thing will do. The other day Bennett was going down for a nap. He had just eaten, had a binkie, he was really tired. No reason to fuss, right? Not so. He screamed and cried. Then I realized what was missing! Stupid me! I gave him his blankie and he immediately stopped crying, rolled over and hugged his blankie and fell right to sleep. Tough guy.

Crawling

Bennett is crawling!!! He's been SO close for the longest time but he's just to lazy to actually DO IT!! He's had this bum scoot thing going on for a while and he's really good at pushing himself backwards on his tummy. But mostly, he's just pretty content wherever you put him. So yesterday morning (Keith's birthday!), Keith and I were in the bedroom and Bennett was on the floor. He was reaching for a toy and got into crawling position and acutally moved forward--a whopping couple of inches!! Not much, but no mistaking, this was the real thing. It was cool that Keith and I were both there to see it. We think it was Bennett's b-day present to Keith. He's been practicing his new skill all weekend. SO CUTE!!! Except, now I have to actually watch him. And childproof the house. Dang, I think I'm over it. Stop crawling Bennett! Can you un-teach a baby to crawl?????

On another note, Bennett also learned to draw today. He drew a self portait on Keith's whiteboard at work.




We call it "Self Portrait of an Angry Young Man". This kid has talent.

Still sick

I'm so sick of being sick!!! In the last two weeks alone, we have had to deal with the nasty stomach virus that Bennett had (so disgusting--and by the way, I did eat the pizza after he threw up), and we both came down with more this weekend. Although this time, Bennett has a cold in his eyes so they are swollen and gooey. They were so crusty this morning that he couldn't even open them. Poor kid! Plus, I have strep throat--AGAIN!!! This is the second time this year!!! This is getting seriously ridiculous. Is it all from the daycare or do kids normally get sick all the time? Do I need to get a bubble that Bennett and I can live in? Honestly, this has got to stop.
