Cat Boy

Ben was totally fascinated with this boy at the playground. I think he was pretending to be a cat. Well, we were at the zoo!

Dancin' Up a Storm





You can't make it out too well, but when Ben is skipping the song at the beginning of the second video it is saying, "Yo mamma, yo mamma, yo mamma..."

Another Busy Day!

Ben took his first little steps this morning, but unfortunately, we didn't get it on video. Maybe next time! He went about 3 steps from the chair to mommy about 3 times. After that he went back to crawling.

After the morning nap, we met Ayaka and Kai at Costco to pick up some necessities.


The, we headed over to the park to play. The boys were trying to climb the wall. Ben had limited success, but it didn't end well...





Then there was a little Brokeback Playground action, but that didn't end well either...







Then it was home to play with the new truck and legos that Aunt Luanne gave us for Ben's birthday. We have been teaching him to put things "away." As you can see, he often puts the same lego "away" 4 or 5 times!

Ayaka's Yummy Homemade Yakisoba







The next one is a little long (3 min.) but he was just so silly and chatty at dinner that I had to record it!

Ben and Tigo Tear up the Library



Ben kept ripping the Valentine's hearts off the wall!



We decided to leave after Ben crawled screaming through the main hall. I didn't want to get kicked out!

Tired After a Long Day

And so happy that Oren is home!



New Birthday Toy!

Ben got this horsey for his birthday. At first, he wasn't sure how to use it, but he seemed to get the hang of it with a little demo from Daddy.





He did find other ways to enjoy it!

The "Da" Game

We play this game at least twice a day. I'm not sure if he really wants a specific thing or if he just wants me to give him things!
