Playing catch up - it's been a busy Fall semester! Ben started September out with an impressive story about a storm blowing trees out and blasting off in a rocket. I don't know where he got his flair for drama - certainly wasn't from me or Craig :). No traveling (except work travel) this month, […]
Read moreQuite late on this entry. August was a fun one! We spent a few days in Utah in early in the month. Ben loved it - his favorite place was the Golden Spike National History Park, where we got to see to steam trains (Jupiter and the 119) roll down the track. He still talks […]
Read moreHello! Craig and I took our first vacation away from Ben (sorry, no Ben update in this one). Ben's Nonna graciously watched him while we were out of town (Thank you, Joanne!!!). In exchange we bought her an island in Greece - she deserves it! ;) Our primary destination was Crete, but we also stopped […]

Read moreWow! Almost 2 years old! It's really hard to believe. Ben is now very clearly expressing himself now - he's good at responding yes or no when we ask him a question and is even practicing a few yes please's and thank you's. He's getting better at counting and saying his ABCs. His speech improves […]
Read moreOh boy, I'm a few weeks late on this one! Ben is now 22 months old. He's a shy, but sweet little guy. He loves balloons, bubbles and balls at the moment. His favorite "babies" (stuffed animals) are Snoopy the Dog, Baby Shark and Spike the Penguin. He can sing his ABCs, count to 10 […]
Read moreBen turned 21 months old last Wednesday!!! He's been doing great this month. He's really enjoying Montessori School. He's still taking out the bathroom trash and cleaning up spills and food that Vincent has nudged out of his bowl. He loves singing songs - he's still singing a few Christmas ones like Jingle Bells. He's […]
