Big Boy Now

Last weekend, we enjoyed a fun visit with our friends Becca and Parker Moran. Paker is 10 months old, and she was trying to teach Ben "the ropes" of becoming a big boy. They enjoyed a long walk in Sabino Canyon Saturday morning, and otherwise played nicely, stealing each other's toys throughout the weekend. Parker even left a toy here for Ben so he can remember their first weekend together in Tucson.

Benjamin is a crawling fanatic now. We finally had to buy some baby proofing items, especially plug covers, as he is getting more mobile every day. He continues to love "swimming lessons", and even sustained his first visible crawling injury on the side of the pool. We practice reaching for the wall and "climbing" out of the pool, crawling away from the edge. Ben got so excited about the toy on the edge of the pool that his hand slipped and he hit his forehead on the concrete side of the pool. He was a big boy, though, and only cried for about 10 seconds, until distracted by in-pool play and other toys.

The red mark on his left forhead (not too obvious, thankfully!) is his first official "boy battle wound"
