Ten and a Half Months Old

Can you believe Ben is already ten and a half months old? I can't. It feels like weeks ago that I was thinking, "Wait, did my water just break?!" And now it's about time to start planning his first birthday party. Time flies when you're having fun, and we have definitely been having fun. :)

"Sit still for a photo? What?"

"Okay, if I get to hold the lens cap."
Thank you for the cute outfit, Grammy and Grampy!

"Can I have the lens cap back, Mommy?" It's so hard to resist this face!

Ben loves to play with his fur-brother.

Just look at the excitement on his face!

T-Bone is a good sport. We don't let Ben take toys and bully sticks away from T-Bone, but Ben found this one on the floor, unattended.

 

Crawling after T-Bone.

Watching T-Bone circle back around for another shot at the bully stick.

"Hi, Brother! You're back!"

T-Bone ran off again, so Ben decided to chase after him.

"Okay, this time I'll give it to you. Maybe!!"

Ben eventually gave T-Bone the bully stick.

But he still tried to crawl after his fur-brother, mouth open, to kiss him. LOL. Ben keeps doing this lately, and it cracks us up. He crawls after the dogs at full speed in hopes of planting a kiss (bite?) on their backs. The other day Tim came up to me and said, "I think something is wrong with T-Bone.. His fur is all matted and crunchy." I was alarmed until I realized that it was dried up avocado. Clearly Ben had been successful in planting a kiss!!
