He's Off!

I would say today is Benjamin's official "walking" day!!!!
He is now leaving whatever he's holding on to (like the coffee table or ottoman) and walking to what he wants.  It is SO FUN.  Of course, he still topples over and is still needing more confidence to walk all the time, but it is crazy how much changes in a day.  He is loving it too....his expression is so full of joy as he realizes how quickly he can get from point A to point B.  It's pretty awesome to watch.

Today was a good day overall.  I babysat my friend's little boy Micah for a few hours this morning.  Micah was born exactly one year before Benjamin, within 15 minutes.  We're going to be celebrating their birthday's together this year which is awesome.  Benjamin was SO excited to see Micah this morning....it's fun to watch them "recognize" each other.  Wal-Mart, dinner, more walking practice, and a bath capped off our day.

 Benjamin loves cars.  Lately, he's been obsessed with this fire truck and drives it all over the house.  It's adorable (thanks for the truck Aunt Nita)
 does this look say "guilty" or what?
 oh mom, I'm just doing a little pre-washing :-)
no Benjamin, you may not tickle your mama with the spoon!

I'd better go to bed early tonight, I have a feeling this newly found walking ability is going to wear a mama out!
