Cute pics

Just some cute pics I took around the house yesterday. Ben is still finding new things everyday....yesterday it was the stairs and the windows next to the front door.

Renaissance Festival

A few pics from the Renaissance Festival....Ben liked when the elephant and camel walked by us :)

10 months old today!!

Ben is 10 months old today! Happy Birthday Little Man!!! I haven't taken any pictures lately, so sorry for no recent "Ben posts". This morning I followed him around taking pictures of all the different things he finds to pull himself up on and then get into. These are just a few but what a little explorer he is!


He started off in the living room with the DVD's and DVR buttons...


One of the end tables..


One of the ottomans.....


Another ottoman....


The wine cabinet.....


These baskets are the perfect height too...

Moving on to the kitchen:


His highchair is fun to pull up on and crawl through....


The pantry has lots of fun stuff to get into...


A chair.... and he just fits under the table standing


Helping mom unload the dishwasher....


All sorts of fun goodies in here....


And last but not least, when I got him up this morning he had figured out how to pull himself up in the crib, and he did it again for naptime!

Boys watch the Vikes first win!

Boy have things changed since last football season. The little man has sure gotten big! ....and dad looks a little more rested as well!!

'09 Season


'08 Season

Fantasy Football and little AP

We put the little man's Adrian Peterson jersey on him for Fantasy Football draft night in hopes that it would give dad good luck getting the #1 pick. It didn't work, he got 6 out of 10. We will try again on Sunday and hope it gives the Vikes good luck for their first regular season win! ...and no the little man doesn't have a number 4 jersey....I have been tempted to buy one but dad likes the AP jersey :)

Little man found the wine bottles

One of his new favorite things to get into is mom and dad's wine bottles. He likes to pull them off the shelf one by one. I let him do it the first few times...it was cute. We are going to try and teach him that is off limits, but for now we usually just distract him with something else.

Uh, oh...don't think a 9 month old should be drinking wine!
