Went to the beach.

Ben went to the beach in Naples with his Great Grandma. As you can see he can now stand with some support very easily.

 

Happy 60th Anniversary!

We were in Naples over the holiday to help Great Nana and Great Patch celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary.

Here is the happy couple doing their first (of the night) dance.

We got Ben to sit still long enough to pose for a picture with the great grand parents.

Thanksgiving

I am going to post some more pictures tonight, but I thought I would point you to the complete collection of photos taken.

Here is one cute shot of Ben munching on his appetizers prior to Thanksgiving meal

I was going to do all this last night, but I had to sit in for a thrilling 4 hour driver safety class. Some one should have told me they ticket in that neighborhood.

Bubble Bath

Ben took his first Bubble Bath the other night.



Apparently Bubbles are delicious.

Cousins or Twins!?!??

Ben spent a Saturday with Cousin Caroline. They had a great time!!! Even though Caroline was a little suspicious.


Caroline is 3 months older then Ben. She is a little taller, but Ben has the "doughboy" thing going.

Election Day!

Ben went to vote today. He wouldn't tell us who he voted for.

Chien and Ben

Ben and Chien are getting more and more comfortable with each other. We let them both play on the floor now, but we have to watch carefully. (Mostly just so Ben doesn't pull out the dogs whiskers.)


Like all Baby's Ben just LOVES to play with anything he is not supposed to have. Here he decides he wants to order pay-per-view. (probably wrestling)

Chien is really cute around Ben. When Ben is upset he likes to come and try to kiss him. I guess thats what he would do with a puppy too.

College Friends

Two of Katherine's friends from ND came to visit for the weekend and go to the ND game.

Supposedly this was his first time to ever hold a baby. I think he is a natural.

Halloween 2

Ben got to wear his costume to school for Halloween.

Once everyone got dressed up


They went on a parade around the Motorola campus.


Later that night we went over to MomiDomi's for a little chili and some trick or treating. After such a busy day Aunt and Nephew crashed pretty quick on the La-Z-Boy
