Watching Football with Dad

SEPTEMBER 17,2008



So Ben has already learned to LOVE watching football with his Dad. I'm in my third week back to work. I must admit it has been challenging (yes, I've shed many tears), but my company has been great and has agreed to let me work from home three days a week. In light of this we decided to hire a nanny. We have to give the daycare 2 weeks notice (which we did this week) and can't wait to have Ms. Hapgood (Ingrid) start caring for Ben on Sept. 29th. As a mom, I'm so excited I will get to see Ben more and truly only be away from him 2 days a week!

Ben's latest tricks: He has discovered his tongue! He loves to stick it out a lot. It really cracks me up. Also he used his bouncer in the doorway for the first time. I still think he is a little small for it, but it won't be long before he is jumping away!

Sitting in Bumbo seat

SEPTEMBER 1, 2008

Ben sat up in his bumbo this week for the first time. His neck is really strong now so he can hold his head up a little longer. He is still a little bit of a bobble head though! He also rolled over for the first time this past week. He was on a flat pillow and decided he wanted to be closer to mommy while she was folding laundry. I was surprised, so I put him back on the pillow... and sure enough he did it again. I go back to work tomorrow and am a very, very, very sad mommy.
