Opening Presents

Ben was so excited to open presents this morning. He did not care who the presents were for, he was just opening.

Jamming out

Ben got this keyboard from MacGill family. He was having fun with it when I got home. I just had to record him.

Not ready to give up the bottle just yet

I have not been giving Ben a bottle during the day, but give him one when he goes to bed. Today I asked him if it was time for bed, and he grabbed his blanket and the sippy cup and goes to the gate at the bottom of the stairs. OK... We go up the stairs, I change his diaper, and tell Ben to get in bed. He looks at his sippy cup and then picks it up and hands it to me, Then grabs my hand and takes me to the gate at the top of the stairs. He said Ba and then waited for me to go get him a bottle and then he was ready to go to bed. He just can't want to.

Wrapping Moms present

I went to wrap Lisa's present today and Ben wanted to help. Ben was such a big help, but at one point Ben picked up the scissors and started cutting the scrap paper. I had to stop what I was doing and hide them. When we were done, I put one present under the tree and Ben went to the table and started putting all of them under the tree.

Better than falling out of Bed...

We found Ben sleeping like this the other night. If the mattress was not on the floor, that would have been bad.
