Family Gathering

We had a small gathering since Sarah and John were home for the holidays. Joshua, Theresa's son is here for a few weeks. He is being sent to Irag so it's nice that he can spend time with his family and friends.

Sarah and John's son Grayson is such a sweet little boy. Most of the family hadn't met this little guy yet. Grayson is 3 months old. Sarah is Mary's daughter and Stacy's sister. He's so cute and still has most of his hair. Here are a few pics we took. As a whole our family has so much to be thankful for. Aunt Jeanne is doing well. We have lots of new babies that were born in the family this year. They are all so precious and sweet...Being an Auntie and Grammy is just great.... Auntie Sue has also started her own blog..She has finally join in with the rest of us...

Thanksgiving

I know it's been awhile since I wrote. It's really great being around Ben. He's such a special little boy. He lost that little baby look and looks like a little boy. He's Grammy little boy. Monday's is usually my day with Ben. I tried to write on my blog when I take care of him but he doesn't usually let me. He sits on my lap while I try to update and plays with my keys. He loves all this electronic stuff. You know keyboards, remotes, phones...on my...He's pounds on my keyboards and changes the page on Grammy..It's more difficult to update my blog as the internet carrier we have is so bad...... it's slower than molasses.... We use to have high speed internet..Sue and I miss that part...plus our computer isn't working...We're using Joleene's..

Thanksgiving was nice and quiet. I'm so thankful for my family and our little man. I can't get over how much one little person can mean to you. I love my kids but being a Grammy is just wonderful. He is growing up so fast. He's wants to be on the floor and on the go...He's starting to crawl and loves to be in his jump a roo. He looked so cute in his white button shirt and corduroys. Here's are a some pics that we took.

A New Little Friend

On Thursday Ben & I went and hung out with some of my teacher friends. I do miss working with the kids. It is so rewarding and can be frustrating at the same time but the time I spend with Ben is so worth it. I love being with my grand-baby. Sue and I do enjoy our little man. She just loves being an Auntie. It's hard to believe he's already seven months. Grammy and Mommy have been taking Ben to the doctors for the last few weeks. He finally doesn't have to go back until he gets the other part of his flu shot. His lungs sound really good.

Ben sat on the floor and played with Gabriella. She was born 1 week before Ben. She wanted Ben's toys and Ben wanted her toys. Ben kept going after her shinny black shoes. After work I went to the daycare to get Ben and met my friends. I grabbed the diaper bag from daycare not realizing that there weren't any daipers in it. So Ben had to borrow a diaper from his new little friend, Ella.

He's getting ready for crawling. Oh no!! Watch out!! Mommy, Auntie Sue and Grammy will be looking and pricing baby gates.

Being a Grammy is just one of the greatest things ever. We sing so much to our little guy. I lost count on how manyy times we sing to him to get him to stop crying. He's getting better at being in the car. Riding is not one of his favorite things to do.

Here are a few pics of Ben & Gabriella.

Fun in the leaves

I took Ben to the doctors for a follow-up appointment with his doctor as his Mommy had to go to work. She took a good part of last week off since Ben was so sick. He is doing so much better. He only needs to do his breathing treatment twice a day. He has to go back next week to the doctors. He'll get his flu shot next week too as he's been too sick to get it before. Even though he's been sick he's always has a smile. He's such a good baby.

I've been wanting to take Ben's picture in the leaves so I took him out after we got back from the doctors. He was so funny. I kept trying to take his pic and he kept trying to eat the leaves. Grammy kept telling him "No Ben, no Ben." He is so precious to us. Being a Grammy is just one of the greatest things ever. I do so enjoyed it so much. Here are the pics I took of Ben in the leaves. They are some of my favorite. It hard to believe that our little man is almost seven months old. Time really does fly.

Our Little Scarecrow

Saturday evening Sue and I stopped by to see Stacy and her kids at their Harvest party at their church. It was cute to see all the little ones dressed up. The kids were all having lots of fun. Our little Benjamin was dressed up as a scarecrow. He kept watching everyone as their were lots of kids in different outfits.Kelsey and Kaylee were ducks, Jordan a fireman just like his daddy and Latoya a very pretty princess.Ben kept giving Mary kisses and loves. Here are a few pics that we took.

Ben's daycare had a Halloween party this weekend. We took Ben to the party to visit his little friends. The children at daycare kept coming up to him for hugs and kisses. Ben is well loved at daycare. He is the youngest baby there. He is well taken care of.

Ben's 6 month check-up

Joleene and I took Ben for his 6 months shots. He had to have three shots. At least it's not four like it has been. It breaks my heart when I hear Ben cry. He really cried after that third shot...His little leg is bruise where they gave him his shot. I know he needs them but it's still so hard.. The good thing, he doesn't have to go back until he's nine months..

Ben is on the go so much. It's getting harder to take his weekly picture. We sit him in his boppy and he rolls over, turn over etc. We have to be fast as we never know how long he will stay still. The chair is no longer safe to take his pic. It's amazing how fast he's grown. It's so hard to believe he's the tiny baby that Jo and Jason brought home from the hospital. I love hearing his giggles and mumble jumble.

Here's a few pics that we took..Ben is now 28 weeks..He's looking more and more like a little boy and not so much a little baby...

Funny Ben

Ben is growing up so fast. It's hard to believe he's 6 months. He now has two teeth. When he laughs we can see his little teeth. They aren't all the way up yet but are getting there. He's such a good natured baby. I love being able to spend time with my little man. Yesterday I was sitting on the couch with Ben. He was playing with his feet. His feet finally made it to his mouth. so our little guy was sucking on his toes. It was so cute. I had to call everyone down to see Ben sucking on his toes. What a little character. So of course we got the camera and video camera out. He was so adorable.

He loves his vegetables but he's not able to eat fruit yet as he breaks out after he eats them. We think it's the acid in the fruits that is making him break out. So far he eats everything we give him. He usually makes a face when he frost tries it but ends up eating the whole container of baby food.

I wanted to share some pictures that we took of Ben this week. Enjoy! I do so enjoyed reading everyone blog.
