He's Taking Steps!

That's our big excitment this week. Last week Benjamin started taking 1 step and then falling. Every once in a while he'd get a second step in before falling down or lunging in our arms. But on Saturday while we were visiting Jonathan's brother Evan, he started taking 2-3 steps. And yesterday it became 3-4 steps! Woo hoo! We tried to get some video of it, but it's a little hard because Benjamin gets distracted by the camera. Sorry you don't see his face through the whole thing, but I was mostly concerned with getting his feet. He is getting to be such a big boy!

Benjamin has been sick today :( We're not sure what he's got, but he woke up at 4:30am and when we went in to get him at 5am because he still hadn't fallen back asleep he threw up and his crib sheet had a bunch of wet spots. He threw up all morning until about 11am and then he took a good 1 1/2 to 2 hour nap and woke up acting much better. We're glad about that. It's always hard when babies are sick and they don't quite understand.

Other than that, we're all doing really well and having a good time hiding inside away from all the snow we've been getting lately. Except Jonathan... he started school again today and he's been awesome about going out and getting things for me that I absolutely, without a doubt need... like Olive Garden Soup and Salad for lunch today. What a sweetheart :)
