How Benjamin Likes to Clean the Silverware......

For the past several days this is what I've caught Benjamin doing - digging in our silverware drawer, pulling each utensil out and licking them one by one. He always puts it back in the drawer when he's done. Thankfully I can always tell when he's been in there - when he has, I end up washing ALL of the utensils.....maybe we'll move to plastic utensils for the time being. We've got most of our cabinets with childproof locks, just haven't done the drawers yet - looks like it might be time!

Our Future Rocket Scientist......

Pop-Up Books

Benjamin absolutely loves pop-up books. He has quite a few of them. However, we have one pop-up book that strikes fear in him. The last page of this particular book will make him COMPLETELY freak out and come running and screaming to Momma and Dadda (or anyone that is near by). He'll even back away from the book when he notices it on the table and then begin to wimper. This photograph is of the particular "pop-up" that is so frightening to him.....it's a smiling horse. Poor Benjamin.

Thanksgiving 2008 Waco, Texas

We had a great Thanksgiving packed with lots of fun and good times with family! From our delicious Thanksgiving dinner prepared by the hostess with the mostess, Grandma Nancy, to visits on a farm and Discovery Center playing! Plus LOTS and LOTS of playing with Abby and Andrew - Benjamin ate it all up!

Texas Tech Game

Alright, I know we're HUGE Baylor fans but we couldn't wait for the Texas Tech vs. OU game this evening. Benjamin was sporting the Texas Tech colors and was ready to cheer them on! It's the 2nd quarter and sadly Tech is losing. Oh well, the anticipation of the game sure was fun!

Elbow...(Elmo)

Elmo is by far Benjamin's favorite character. It's so cute to hear him pronounce it - he says "elbow". I found some Elmo Christmas pajamas and he wore them the other night. Yes, I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet but I couldn't resist seeing him in these pj's. Grandmother bought him a talking Elmo chair recently and he LOVES it! While David and I sit on the couch to watch TV, Benjamin promptly goes to his Elmo chair to join us.

It's a Girl!

We found out last week that we're having a girl! We also went to the Baylor/Aggie game on Saturday. It was so cold but well worth it. It's so good to see Baylor doing so well this season. Poor Aggies...okay, not really. HA HA HA to the Aggies! It was Benjamin's 1st Baylor game. He did really well. Maybe he'll be our future Baylor football player with his little sister as a Baylor cheerleader! We also got to spend some quality time with family and friends over our 3 day weekend (David took the day off on Friday). Good times!

I AM CORNHOLIO!

Okay, for all of the Beavis & Butthead fans - we caught Benjamin pretending to be Cornholio. He was actually trying to take his shirt off and it got stuck. He didn't seem to mind so he kept it like that. David and I laughed so hard our stomachs hurt.

Hope's 2nd Birthday

Benjamin had a blast at Hope's birthday party on Sunday. He liked playing in the gym but he was SOOOO ready for cake! Notice how he's the first and ONLY one in the cake room waiting for some dessert!
