Ben Photos

Ben has a tooth in and we have been trying to get a photo of it, but he does not want to show it off. You can kind of see it in the first photo.

Talking

Ben is working on talking. He will say daddy sometimes. He still would rather have the phone or camera, than to be recorded.

Is This Normal of Six Months?

I guess we did not have the right toys out.

Ben video 11-24

I wanted to get a video of Ben playing with the quilt that Coreen made for him, but every time I got the camera out he wanted it. I wonder where he gets this obsession with technology....

Working on a new skill

There is not enough light on the video, but you get the idea. Ben is now trying to pull himself up on things. It is funny to listen to his comments as he is working on getting up...

Video from Grandma Johnson's

Here are some videos that Charlie recorded. Charlie bought Ben the slinky, and we were surprised by how much he enjoyed it.

Who is that cool kid?

Ben was amusing himself with the mirror. He bonked his head a few times though.

That's a lot of bottles

This is a couple of weeks old. I was washing dishes and I guess I had let it go a little too long.

Ben's First Halloween

Way too smart

Ben has his heart set on being mobile. He has been scooting himself around and is able to drag himself to where he wants to be that way. Yesterday at church he was watching one of the kids crawl around. Then he wanted me to put him down. As soon as he was on the floor he starts trying to get up on his hands and knees, and he continued to work on it while we were over at Mom and Dad's. He will be in a full crawl soon. He is only five months old! He pays way too much attention to what is going on around him. We are going to be in trouble soon.

What is that?

Ben scooted over to where the light was shining on the floor and was trying to figure it out.

Breakfast nook

Lisa found some furniture for our Breakfast nook. It came this week, and I was able to get it put together. It looks nice.

Oh man.... I did not know it could do that....

I stood Ben up in front of my laptop and played a clip of him and Lisa. He was very amazed by it. Then when the clip was over, he started pushing bottons until I started the clip again.... Hmm... He may have recieved the computer gene. 

Windows: After

The windows are now in. They have been working on them all day. The living roon and dining rooms are just about done now. We just need to put photos up.

Windows: Before

We needed to get new windows this year. The old ones were drafty and in bad shape. The ones that opened, the screens did not stay in the track very well. We had duct tape holding some of them in....

Let me out of here...

Ben sleeps well in his crib, but there are several times that we find him sleeping with his hands or legs between the rails or holding onto the rails.

So this is what you do all day. Can I help?

Stop laugh and roll

We were just playing with the camera.

Car Problems

So, today on my way home from work, my truck stalled. It looks like the fuel pump went. I was going outbound on the 33 right at the off ramp to the 198. It was getting to rush hour and cars were flying by. I called Lisa and had her come rescue me. She has AAA. AAA made it a priority, because of where I was and got there really quick, like 20 minutes or so. We got it to the shop and took it right in, and said they will run the test and call us in the morning. They did agree with me that it is probably the fuel pump. It has just not been our year with the cars.

Computer Tech in Training

This is an older photo. I just got around to posting it.

Living Room and Dinning Room

The living room and the dinning room are done. Lisa did a wonderful job. The rooms look great. Lisa did a lot while I was in the hospital. Everything is back together and thee new couches look good inthe room. We still need to get photos up.

Ben and Adam

Ben and Adam seemed to enjoy spending time with each other, during Adam's visit.

Cereal

Lisa wanted to try Ben out on Cereal today. He did well with it and liked it, so we are on to cereal.

Baby Blanket

Ben got a blanket from Tara. Thanks Tara, it is a fun blanket.

Getting Better

I am doing a lot better. I will be back to work on monday.

Little helper

I put together the fan Lisa got last week. Ben watched the whole process. Hopefully he did not take too many notes, dont want him knowing how to disassemble things too soon.

July 4th

I was waiting for Lisa to post some of these photos, but she was taking too long. We went to Riverside park for the 4th with Shelle and her family. We ended up having to take Conner too. The kids were great for the fireworks. Conner slept right through them and Ben did not seem to mind.
