How fun it is to be able to make videos and take pictures on the cell phone! It makes it so easy to take quick little videos of cute things Benjamin is doing. Here is one such video. He is starting to really verbalize and it's a hoot to hear him squeal, laugh, talk, gurgle and more.

5 months...hard to believe!
So much has happened since Benjamin has entered our lives! One of the things that got lost in the shuffle was the blog! So I'm going to try to start the new year with new purpose and try yet again to keep everyone posted on our little bundle of joy!
Benjamin and I have been in Ohio since November and have really enjoyed our trip. It was such a thrill to introduce Benjamin to my family and friends. Everyone is just loving on Benjamin and he is enjoying every minute. I thought he might be overwhelmed with all of the cousins, but he hasn't given it one thought! He loves just watching the kids.
Many firsts happened while we were here. Benjamin got his first two teeth within the first week we were here! He was a total gem through the whole thing. No crying or fussiness. What a blessing! We celebrated his first Thanksgiving and Christmas. Benjamin enjoyed eating the wrapping paper Christmas morning. I'm sure next year, he will get into it even more.
At this point he is rolling from side to side...not quite all the way over unless on his tummy and is prodded. He loves to do what I call crunches. When he's laying down, he will lift his head up and lift his legs. He is trying so hard to sit up! He is grabbing things and pulling and is definitely fascinated with faces and touching them. It's so precious! He is getting better being on his tummy and really holds his head up high. He doesn't love being on his belly, so tummy time is limited. Benjamin loves to laugh. He is just a happy boy and I am so thankful for that!
