The traditional bed photo. Matt didn't want to get right in. 

Grandpa, Nanna and Ben in his new pop tent from Ikea. Thanks Grandpa and Nanna. We have set it up in Ben's room at home and keep all his toys in it. He loves to play in it. 

Ben on his new car!! It plays lots of different sounds and songs. Our favourite is the horn which says, "Beep beep, here I come!". 

Putting together Ben's gift from Matt and I, a toy car. 

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.
