He was creeping and now...

Ben can finally crawl....yipee! We are so excited. Ben has been creeping around for about 2 weeks now. We were at kohls and found a cool ball with a monkey on top of it that makes noise when rolled. This was just the motivation Ben needed to crawl. Props to the music monkey. Ben has a huge smile everytime he makes it across the room. We will put a video on soon. It may take a few days due to a virus on the computer that Richard uses to load pictures and videos. Alright, gotta go to bed now, we just wanted to share our newfound hobby of watching Ben get more mobile....Next to come...walking??? How fun.

Now thats a toothy smile!

Ben finally got his first tooth on june 1st, and now another tooth is breaking through. I thought he would be grumpy, but he is nothing but a happy little man. He also is able to crawl about 2 feet then he goes down. He is also working on a bear walk now. Wouldn't it be funny if he skips crawling and decides to bear walk only? We also got a new kitten. Her name is Izzy and she is so cute. she looks like a siamese mix. We were told she was a Himalayan/Persian mix, but honestly I think the people we got her from were telling a white lie. Either way it doesn't matter because she is adorable and Ben thinks she is just the coolest. If anyone is wondering why the name Izzy, I love Greys Anatomy and used to watch it quiet religiously, but they killed off Izzy my favorite character so I was disapointed and now the name goes to the kitten. Lastly, I broke my arm last month. Actually the radial head aka elbow of my left arm. Lets just say, never climb on a wobbly step stool, especially if you are home alone. Yeah it sucks, but it could be worse. I was allowed to return back to work On April 2 on light duty and now am going to physical therapy 3 times a week starting Monday...how fun. Anyways Ben has been such a great boy that it hasn't been to difficult. He actually found it funny when I do the 1 arm diaper changes...challenging but doable. Richard is also a great help. Everyday he does things that remind me of how great he is. Again, we hope all is well with everyone and I will try to update this again, more frequently than last time.
