Playtime and Blackberries

Not too much going on for us....just watching Benjamin grow and learn like crazy!

Here's a quick recap of our happenings.

Friday night we just stayed in, ate curry and played with our little man on his new playset.  I found it at a garage sale a few weeks back and it's now all clean, put together and ready to be played on!

He looooves the slide.  It's just his size.  He will now go down the slide completely on his own.  We put him on the top of the slide, say "come on!" and he just wiggles until he slides down. 

You can't see it very well in the picture but he's climbing a mini "rockwall".  He completely has the climbing motion down and thinks he's big stuff!

He couldn't get enough of the steering!  We really don't even need to hold him up anymore, he just stands there on his own, holds on and moves it back and forth.  He actually had the hand over hand driving motion going on for awhile, ha!

Though I'm a little afraid that this face means he's going to have road rage like his Auntie Amanda (and certainly not like his mama!)

Just checking out the trees I watered with Daddy!

Peter and his mini-me :-)

Saturday we went to Eugene to pick up a few things and buy some new tennis shoes for Peter.  I don't think I took any pictures (I wouldn't want to torture Amanda with the never ending pasta I ate!)

Sunday we had church in the morning.  Benjamin did great in the nursery.  They said he played in the exersaucer for awhile then they put him down for his nap with Floppy and he went to sleep!  He was still sleeping when I picked him up after the service.  It was precious.  He came home to eat lunch then took a 1 hr and 45 minute nap, woo hoo!!!

After he woke up we headed out to pick a few blackberries in the field near where we live.

 All ready to go pick some berries, even though I can't eat them yet!

Happy to be hanging out with Daddy!

Mommy!  I know we're cute but stop taking pictures and pick some berries

Our little family

The selection wasn't huge and we only picked for about 30 minutes but hey, they were free!  And there were many more in our bellies :-)

Benjamin has his own version of helping mommy fold laundry

So I can remember, I want to document that today Benjamin took a 2 1/2 hour nap this morning!!  And he slept from 8pm to 8am only fussing for a minute or two at 4:30am.  He also slept for 1 hr this afternoon.  Hooray for good sleep.
Here's a few pictures of our playtime tonight

He is getting so close to crawling!  He can scoot backwards really well and now he gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth like a crazy man.  It's only a matter of time before my free time is completely GONE!

Who knew playing in computer boxes could be so fun!  No, the new computer isn't for us.

Uhhh..........

That's all for now folks, goodnight!
