ear infection

well folks it's our first run of a sick kid and boy is it not fun! lol ben has an ear infection from all the drainage of teething. and yes he now has 2 new teeth & i think a couple more coming soon (the snot-nose hasn't stopped running)! so 6 teeth-and yes he has bit me- and an ear infection. he's quite the trooper. he is still getting used to taking the antibiotics by syringe, but he's getting better. he'll go back to the doctor in a couple weeks for a follow up and his flu booster shot. in the meantime pray he gets over this quickly.

oh his 6 month check up was oct. 12 and he weighed 18lbs. 4 oz. and when they weighed him yesterday he was 19lbs. 12oz. guess he's had a growth spurt! i'll post pictures of his first halloween later this week.

officially crawling & climbing

well ben's crawling has progressed from inch-worming to full fledged crawling. he'd done it a couple of times randomly before but last night he decided would be the night for his debut. he's quite the muscle man. and he also loves to climb on whatever he can. now there's no stopping him.

look at me now!

this is ben this time last year...14 weeks pregnant


and this is ben yesterday when he was suppose to be napping. (6 months)


last year we were enjoying vacation and this year we're chasing our little inch worm! my my my how our lives change in a year.
