I got it!

I finally got Ben laughing on video!!! We think he sounds like a baby velociraptor, or our giggle-sauras. He laughs a lot in the morning when I take him to swing in the tree. I finally decided to bring the video camera for it. But, he was fussing this evening, so we tried to distract him with laughs. He kept a good mood long enough for me to set up the camera out of his line of sight and keep laughing for us! Enjoy.

He is interested in anything within his reach. He was grabbing for my cup of water tonight and Ryan grabbed the camera. He wasn't too sure about it, but kept reaching!

Ben is finally getting some length to the strawberry blond (where did that come from?) hair on the top of his head. The little boys around here have sported mohawks a lot this summer, though they are gone now that school is starting, so I thought Ben should join in. I used a little of Ryan's hair gel and ta-da, a baby mohawk.


A friend gave us this big boy bath seat, so we tried it out tonight. Ben was fascinated with the water coming out. He seemed to like sitting up much more than the sling.
