Making a Splash

Benjamin is always splashing around in the tub or his little pool, but last weekend when temps hit 90+ (yes, it is only June...), we introduced him to a whole new world: the splash park. Just a mere 15 minutes away in a close-in Virginia suburb is a park that has everything - fountains, sand, and swings. What more could a boy (and his parents) want? The pictures do not show just how much fun Benj had, but needless to say, he had a blast.

In other news, Benjamin has gotten about 6 teeth in the last month or so and is working on cutting his 2nd (or possibly 3rd - it's hard to tell) molar. The molars are killer on everyone, so hopefully they'll come through already, and we'll all be done with it. He has practically mastered walking and has moved on to attempting to run, as well as climbing on anything and everything (like our entertainment center). Boys will be boys...

Mother's Day

Two posts in one day... what a weekend. Below are a few pics from our day at the ballpark. Benjamin and Dan treated Chrissie to a fantabulous day. Happy Mother's Day everyone!

Pictures of the Teeth (and More!)

So Dan was finally able to get a few good shots of Benjamin's teeth yesterday (really, it's harder than it sounds!). Also in the album are some misc shots - of Benji hanging out, in the bath, and of some play dates with his friends Sasha and Lyra. Enjoy!

One Tooth is for Babies

But TWO teeth are for big boys! Just minutes after Chrissie told Dan "I think he's cutting another tooth," Dan saw it while getting Benj ready for bed (yes, Dan has now found both teeth, but Chrissie's not jealous, not at all!). Also on the bottom, also in the middle. Guess the first tooth was just lonely.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Chrissie or Dan

(November 18, 2009, Washington, D.C.) - Benjamin woke up with his first tooth today! His parents, Dan and Chrissie, report that the tooth cut through the gums at some point between 7:30 pm on November 17th and 6:30 am on November 18th. Given the boy woke up with a start at 11:30 pm last evening and 12:30 am this morning (going back to sleep on his own, much to his parents glee), they further suspect that the tooth officially came in in the vicinity of those times. The boy is doing fine without tylenol, though is not so in to showing the tooth, so pictures will follow at some point.

UPDATE: Dan has confirmed the location of the tooth - bottom left (our right) middle tooth.
