Liftoff!

So after a few weeks of scooting backwards, crawling backwards, scooting along in a seated position (which is quite impressive)... Benjamin has figured out how to crawl forward. He's quite the fan of forward motion.

Bagels, Bread, and Beef!

Below are some pictures from the last 2 weeks.

Benjamin has discovered bagels, Dan made a gorgeous loaf of bread (challah), and just tonight, Benj tried beef. The (not so) little one is trying his hardest to eat any and all "table" food - whatever he can do with his 2 3/4 teeth (in addition to the bottom 2 - has about 1/2 of his top left and 1/4 of his top right coming through). He's now tried chicken, beef, and cheese, and is all about bread and yogurt too.

Last week we had his 9 month check up - his rate of growth is slowing (21 lbs. 4 oz., "just" the 50th percentile), while his height continues to mystify us (30 inches tall - nearly half way to Chrissie's height - which is the 90th percentile).

Finally, in the pictures below, you'll also see Benjamin finger painting this afternoon with Dan.

Enjoy!

Snowpocalypse! Or is it Snowmaggedon?

Whatever you call it, there's a lot of snow. Our guess is 20ish inches, and it's still coming down at a good clip. It's supposed to keep on snowing for at least the rest of the day. Around 11 AM, we took Benjamin out for a short walk. He seems to be liking the snow a little more this time!
