A Cold Treat

Ben had his first Popsicle today! He was unsure about it. He took a couple of licks and then decided it was bad.

Such a Big Boy!

Appearing extra cautious!
We visited the petting zoo on Memorial Day weekend. Ben liked seeing the animals and "driving" the wooded tractor.

Cool Shades

Benjamin likes to play with my sunglasses, so I dug out all my old ones from the glove box and he now plays with them in the car.

Cheerio Face

It's so hard to swing!

Ben loves his swing so much he fell asleep while Tom was pushing it one evening.

My New Trick

Ben spent the better part of one evening getting in and out of this basket. He thought he was so clever.

Good Little Patient

He didn't like wearing the hat!
This is Ben in his gown before his procedure today. He was trooper. Everything went well and received good news.

Mother's Day in Indy

We spent Mother's Day in Indianapolis. We took a long afternoon walk around downtown and along the canal. In the evening, we went to visit Mom's cousins Ryan and Molly and their kids, Norah and Zach. We had a great meal and a good time catching up. Norah was great help playing with Ben and keeping him entertained.

Another Escape to the Pantry

A View to the World

With the help of Grandma, Ben has discovered he can watch the world go by from the front window. In these pictures he was watching Dad and a friend hang his swing from the front porch.

Growing up!

Playing in the Pantry

Ben's new pastime is to play with the bags and boxes of food in the pantry. He first takes all the bags out and then starts in on the food. One of these days I hope he learns to put it all back.
