Caputring the Smile

Benjamin gave his first smiles on command July 22, 2008. It have been hard to capture it, but we finally got one.

Looking like a little boy

We tried to tame Ben's hair after his bath and it makes him look so grown up.

Cottage Vacation

Ben went on vacation for ten days at Grandma and Grandpa Brady's cottage. While we were there he learned to smile. He is a happy smiley baby most of the time.
While we were on vacation, Ben met his cousin Lucy for the first time.
Ben also met his Uncle Mike and Aunt Molly. They flew in from Boston for vacation. We loved spending our vacation with them and can't wait to see them again.

Meeting the Hemler Family

Ben met his friends Kyla, Tim, Riley and Nolan. He spent some time at Lake Michigan with them and Riley loved holding Ben. We had a great time and can't wait to see them again.

Ben and Lola

Lola hasn't had much interest in Ben since he arrived. However, I finally got Lola close enough to get a picture of them together. I know they will become trusty friends in the future.

Visit to Pretty Lake

Ben, Great Grandma, and I took a trip down to Pretty Lake to visit with Nana and Papa Gott. Aunt Kim, Garret, Ethan, and Denali were there too. We had lots of fun even though Ben slept most of the time. Ethan was finally feeling well enough to hold Benjamin. He did a great job!
