Sorry!!

Sorry for my slackerishness in posting to the blog-Benjamin and I went on a trip at the end of March and have been a bit disorganized ever since. We are working this week to get back into our routine, though.

Our trip was to Chicago to visit Auntie Marisa and Uncle Winston's new apartment-which was beautiful! Ben tried his best to leave his mark (in small spit-up splotches on the nice hardwood floors), but I am pretty sure we got them all cleaned up. We also has the chance to go to Milwaukee to visit some of my old work friends at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin-Ben was a big hit and he was glad to meet all the Falcons. We rounded out our trip with the weekend in Portage, topped off with a last minute ticket change to avoid snow (GASP! In March...) and freezing rain in Chicago.

Since being back in Paradise (where the weather is 80 and sunny almost every day) we have been walking with our friends (a group getting bigger by the day!), exploring new places and thinking a bit about our next move to Napa, CA. Ben is getting around much more easily now-crawling quite quickly (still backwards only) and rolling his way around the living room. He is taking a keen interest in more of his toys, though household items seem just as appealing most of the time! He is talking more and more (lots of dadada & mamama, though still not at us, and even more blablabla) We have the feeling once he gets talking, we may never be able to keep him quiet. He is still loving solids-just started fruits this week and applesauce is a quick favorite.


A Happy St. Patrick's Day to all! (Thanks for my cool shirt Uncle Mike!)

Cool Tupperware!

Also, Ben has been busy practicing his yoga-check out his plank pose and his advanced, one leg pose (not sure what this one would be called...)
