Trick or Treat

Weekend

This weekend Grandma and Grandpa came to visit. We went to the local grocery store's Trick or Treat on Saturday. Sunday night, our block had a party and the fire truck came. Ben took a look around. Yesterday, Ben and his friend, Kathryn, met at the park to swing.

Fun with socks

Ben and I have a ritual whereby he comes upstairs with me to change clothes when I come home from work. I've made a habit of throwing my socks at him after I take them off, which he enjoys to no end. Many times, when he sees me taking off socks (whether it's after work or just some random time), he closes his eyes, leans in, and starts to giggle.

Tooth!

Thankfully, Ben has done very well with his first teething experience--no fussing to speak of, really, just a little more drool than usual.

Scarecrow Row

Last Friday, Ben went to his first "Sing and Sign" program at the local metropark with two friends. He enjoyed the singing and the motions (and the bells!). After the class we went to Scarecrow Row. This picture makes it look like he's patting the scarecrow. In reality, he's slightly pushing away from it.
