Ben's First Hair Cut

Ben went for his first hair cut this week. At first he didn't like having his hair cut but it was more being strapped into a chair with someone he didn't know cutting on his hair. We took him to a place that cuts children's hair. It was a really neat place for kids. Ben's hair stylist was so good with him. He lost quite a bit of hair..He looks like a little boy not a baby anymore...It's had to believe that he is almost 16 months. Where oh where does time go? He is such a handsome little man but of course I'm his Grammy..It's melts my heart to pieces when he calls me Grammy..It's is definitely a very special name..

Picking Raspberries

Jo, Sue, Ben & I went raspberry picking...Ben didn't actually picked the berries...I held him and put some berries in his container. He would then take the berries and try to feed me. So needless to say Jo and Sue pick most of the berries. Ben and I pick only a few as the berry bushes are way too picky for him..Here are a few pics of Ben and the raspberries.

We are trying to pick different berries to eat and then we are freezing most of them..It will be a good treat this winter when we are snowed in again..We are going to go back next week and pick blueberries.....Blueberries are one of Ben's favorites..

Next week we are going to take Ben for his first offical hair cut...Mommy has been holding off...His curls are so cute....but Daddy really wants his hair cut..He wants him to look like a little boy..I think he looks like a very adorable handsome little boy..but of course I'm his Grammy...

Our Little Man

I wanted to share some photos that were recentlly taken of Ben. He's our little precious buddy..I really like Kiddie Kandids in Babies R US in Portland. They do an awesome job taking pictures..








He's our little talking dictionary...He's constantly talking and saying new words..Just the other day he called me Grammy...That made my day!!!

Hugs and kisses

We decided to go visit Aunt Jeanne since it's been awhile since Ben has seen her..While we were there Theresa stopped by with Jasmime. Ben kept going up to her hugging her, kissing her and patting her back and head..It was so cute....He loves kids and babies..He will be such a great big brother..Here's a video of Ben and Jasmime..He had us laughing so much. It's amazing how much little babies and kids bring so much love and joy to our lives.




Update on Cody..The little baby who has leukemia.He's 16 months old. .He just finished his 5th round of chemo...He will be nn the hospital for about 6 more weeks..He has spent most of the last five months in the cancer ward due his chemo treatment and infections..He gets infections so easily and then he has to go back to the hospital...He is still in remission...Which is a miracle..as they didn't give this baby much hope.He has been in remission since his 1st chemo treatment. Once he gets out he will have to be tested monthly..It just goes to so you how much prayer does work..We are just are so thankful..He still has a long way to go but he is just a little miracle...
