Hi girls! Well, I had the best intention of stopping in here every couple of days, but we went camping on the weekend and I've been trying to catch up on fun stuff like housework and laundry since we got back. Had a fantastic time though, Ben loves the beach. I took him out of the water and sat him in his sunshade and when his daddy came back and was standing in the water he wanted to go straight to him so he could go swimming again. Such a water baby!

Jen, it must have been scary to see Beau take his tumble! Ben's bumped his head a few times and I feel awful that I didn't stop it. I guess we'd better get use to it though, there will be plenty more bumps, scrapes and bruises.
A sailor suit?!? We had Ben in a mini tux for my sister's wedding and he was gorgeous - if I do say so myself

Kaz, I'm trying Ben on just about any food other than egg whites, cows milk, honey and nuts these days. He's loved everything I've tried from tomato to fish to onions. Whatever we offer him he'll eat - typical male! I did find that avacado and bananas stuffed him up a bit though so I only offer those to him every now and then. I'm glad you PMed Kris, it's unlike her to be away from us for so long!

Jt welcome! Try a sipper cup with EBM in it too. I don't know if it will work - Ben won't have EBM at all anymore, but will have water in his sipper cup without any problem. Strange child that he is!

Kel, what are you studying? How are you going with being away from Lil? I don't know how I'm going to cope with going back to work next year. The longest I've been away from Ben was at my sister's wedding for seven hours, and I knew he was asleep for six of those hours!!! I know - I'm hopeless!

Erin, that's so cute that Charlie is up and rocking on all fours! Ben is too lazy for that. He'll lean forward onto his hands and knees to grab a toy, but then he'll push himself back down to a sitting position. I have the laziest baby in history!

Mel, I say go for the red dress too!

I'd better get off to bed, I think I'm getting a cold. Sore throat and a bit stuffy in the sinuses. I sure hope it's not a cold

Have a good night all
