The favourite tree at Zoo Lights. For Sarah's birthday we visited the Zoo Lights. Lots of fun. 

Ben all bundled up for Zoo Lights. It was pretty cold. 

Hard to see but Matt and Ben are there by the big moose. 

A big spider. 

Matt is trying to teach Ben to climb already!! 

Ben is still not crawling but we have been practicing. 

Matt and Jon back from a practice hike to get ready for the big one. This one took three hours. 

Ben and Titan 

Ben, 7 months old 

I tried to get a picture of Ben's teeth but it was more difficult than I thought. This was the closest one but his tongue is in the way. Oh well, still a really cute picture if I do say so myself. 

These are for Auntie Jenn, she specifically requested some new pictures of Benjamin. He has started to understand that if he lets go he falls.  

Bath time. It is fun in the bath now that Ben can sit up. Matt is still doing all the bathing as I still have my cast on. 

First Tooth!!

On Saturday Nov 5 Nanna noticed Ben had his first tooth come through. We had been thinking he was sick the few days before but I guess he was teething. It looks pretty cute now that it is tall enough to see it. Below are some pictures that are typical of Ben now that he is officially in the teething stage, EVERYTHING GOES IN HIS MOUTH.

I think the camera scared him!!  

Where most things end up these days. 

Well David and Erin did we get to throw snowballs before you?? It's hard to see them, but here's Matt, Ben and Titan out in the first big snow. We had fun throwing snowballs at Titan, who catches them in his mouth and then looks confused when he can't find them. Ben unfortunately slept through the whole thing. 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! We had to dress Benjamin up. My mom found this outfit and couldn't resist. He only went to one house (a friend of my mom's). She wanted to show him off. 

Yesterday was a beautiful fall day here so Benjamin and I spent some time playing outside. He loves to squish the leaves in his hands. Sorry for the big shadow. 

Matt bought a 1991 Toyota SR5 extended cab that had been in an accident. He is very excited to put this one back on the road, I guess he's always wanted one of these trucks. We'll put up a picture when its done. 

Another view, looks pretty rough, but Matt can fix anything. 

Ben is starting to try the crawling thing, but has a long way to go. 

Thanks Titan:( Sorry this is crooked, I am not smart enough to rotate it. Anyway Titan and I were out for a walk last Sat and this is the result. He saw a squirrel and off he went dragging me with him. One broken wrist and some bruises. Matt is now the official dog walker.  

Auntie Shanna spent a day helping me out with Ben. Wow, he looks big even to me in this photo. 

Two tired boys. Ben is finally taking a bottle and formula, much to my excitement and freedom!!! It was the nipples Erin, thanks for the great advice.
