Getting into things!

This past weekend we had some company. Our friend from high school, Joe who lives in Michigan, was in town to run in an indoor 1/2 marathon. We were able to go and cheer him on for his last 14 laps. Even though this was his first race ever, he ended up finishing in the top ten! Later that day another friend Jared, who lives in Chicago, came into town. Phil, Joe, Jared, and Josh enjoyed a night out including going to a Buck's game. I tried telling them that Ben would really like to go too, but they were not to keen on that, maybe when he gets older. It was really good to see some old friends again.

Ben has been very busy this month! He has started to do many new things. His favorite words are "What's this?" When he wakes up, that is the first thing that he says. He points to anything and everything and is very curious. As you can see from the video, he also says "ball." Just this week he is also able to point to his nose and ear when asked where they are. Of course all this curiosity tends to get him into trouble, which is why this blog is titled "getting into things." Besides the pictures that I posted, I also caught Ben playing in the toilet!

We have been trying to keep busy and not get cabin fever too bad. We go to infant class at our church on Mondays and Wednesday we go to story time at the library. A few weeks ago when it was "nice" outside we went to the zoo. We walk through our indoor apartment complex. Ben has developed quite a fan club. All our neighbors love him and oooh and aaahh over him. He also will walk into some one's apartment if they leave their door open and I am too slow to get him.

Well, that is all for today. I better get the kitchen cleaned up before he wakes up from a nap. Hope everyone is doing well!
