Rolling over!

Benjamin had a great trip to Grandma & Grandpa Perry's house for Thanksgiving. He was a wonderful traveler, even getting compliments from fellow travelers-

"That is the best behaved, most quiet baby I have ever seen" from our neighbors to the left on our way home, and "I didn't even know he was there" from the traveler in front of us on the way to Kalamazoo. (Thank goodness!)

I apologize for the delay in the blog post, but I forgot some of my favorite pictures from our trip at Grandma's, but those are coming in the mail this week. Needless to say, there were many pictures taken while we were in Michigan.

Benjamin had several playdates-2 with Ella Fargo, one with the Pungs (Caleb, Macie and Anderson) and one with Ella Montoya. Ella M's Grandma brought some cute accessories and clothes for the little ones, and it basically turned into a photo shoot. It snowed a whole lot (6-9 inches) the weekend before we left, and our Tucsonan bones were chilled!

Not that he is spoiled or anything...

What is this cold white stuff, Mommy? I am perplexed-we don't see this in Tucson, do we?

Benjamin rolled over for the first time on Sunday, November 30th (from his front to his back) while on his playmat. We have been encouraging him to continue, with moderate success, and he continues to wow us with his physical prowess!

Checking himself out on his playmat-handsome little devil, huh!?

We went to a party for Brian's work, and Benjamin pulled out his bling.

We got a fake tree this year (in a dry climate, in an apartment, with carpeting) and have been decorating for my family to come for Christmas. Grandma & Grandpa Perry, Marisa & Winston, Kate & Brian all making the trip to Tucson to celebrate Christmas together. We are hoping to get to Napa early next year to celebrate with Grandma & Grandpa Freeto too. Which present do you think is the best of all?

Benjamin has started making faces that let us know we will be in big trouble once he really knows how to "turn on" the pout...we are hosed!

Benjamin & I are going to Albuquerque this Tuesday to visit our friends the Morans-my dear friend Becca is celebrating her 40th birthday, and we will be there to celebrate with her. We can't wait! Ben is becoming quite the little jet-setter!
