Hope all you great dads had a lovely weekend. Ron's first Father's Day was oh-so-pleasant, and we all enjoyed ourselves. Here are some pictures from the weekend of the cutest muffin ever:
Just nine months and Ben has had his first haircut! He did very well, sitting on my lap and playing with/trying to eat a brush during the trim. Not much was cut off, but some of his hair on top was a bit long so it looks much tidier now, as evidenced here: He had a wonderful Christmas with lots of wonderful gifts bestowed upon him by family and friends, but the whole New Year thing doesn't seem to have phazed him, as he went to bed at his usual bedtime and awoke to a new day greeted by Mommy & Daddy. His crawling is improving and he's pulling up on any and everything, including my pants if I stay still long enough. He can walk holding on to someone's fingers, and still babling: Mamama, dada, bababa, nananana... oh it's so cute! He has gotten another tooth, one of the side incisiors on the left. So that makes it three. We're looking for the matching tooth, but no sign yet. He's teething up a storm, though, so we know another one is up there somewhere. His app...
Ben turned 3 months old on Sunday, July 2. Holy cow, the time does fly! He celebrated by rolling over on Friday morning (July 7th) for the first time from belly to back. He has since done this nearly every day, and usually seems surprised and annoyed, of all things. We both got to see him do this on Sunday while we were outside at a picnic, so we were pretty excited. He can't roll the other way yet, but I'm sure he'll eventually get the hang of it. He's sleeping well through the night, getting up at the earliest at 6:30 a.m, but usually between 7:00 and 9:30 a.m. He's making more sounds and looks like he's really trying to talk. We talk back to him, mimicing the sounds he makes, talking and singing to him all the time. He hasn't laughed out loud yet (just in his sleep), although when he smiles, he opens his mouth all the way like a soundless laugh. He gurgles and makes bubbles, hasn't quite gotten the hang of swallowing his saliva. He's grasping thi...
Wow, we have been SO involved with work, school, life... I think I forgot all about this blog. So, just for laughs, I'm going to do this post in the manner of the previous posts. With Aunt Stephanie, June, 2021 Ben is now 15 and 3 months, measuring 5' 9.75". Getting to be such a big lad! He has finished his freshman year of high school, which was a total washout due to the hybrid program of being in school just two days a week, and online school for 3 days. So. He made it through a lousy year of wearing masks all day in school, but was at least able to get together with friends on occasion. We're seeing what can be done about returning to school for 5 days a week and optional masks. Fingers crossed. Ron and Ben had the 'rona early last year and recovered quickly. I had a very mild case the following week, just felt like a cold. Picture from September 2019 after Ben broke his left arm for the second time, skateboarding. Ben loves playing sports and...
