hi there! first up, it's me, ben. would you like some ice cream?!?! momma made me an ice cream truck the other day - isn't it neat? i love it! it's actually some fleece and felt she sewed to go over a card table. she has had a craft project like this on her list for months, and was going to make it super cute with a different theme on each side, really cool things sewn on, etc. but then one day last week we decided to make this one together on a whim. she says it looks ghetto (esp compared to other ones you see moms make online), but i think it's perfect and it was fun to make it together. we even listen to ice cream truck music off the computer while we're playing in it. fun!
here's a picture i requested of me wearing the socks that beamee gave me while i play with maggie dog (formerly bowzer dog, now maggie, who is mimsie and grandpa's dog in real life, and my new best friend next to blankie). i talk about maggie dog all the time, as if she was actually our own dog. she plays with me throughout the day and goes on errands with us sometimes. for some reason i pretend that my parents' bed is maggie dog's car and we sit in it and drive around during the day (while we wear belt seat belts of course). anyway, here's actually almost a real smile out of me...
and here i am getting busted having too many drinks from the root beer at moonie's burgers. i sure do love root beer but usually only get just a few drinks from daddy's...
and i love playing with daddy's "boofcase" from work - super fun! and momma of course loves that i'm small enough to fit inside...
okay, that's all from me for now. luke wanted to say a few words next...
hi! look - i'm sitting up with help now - fun! and i'm playing in the jumperoo like ben used to... at first i wasn't that excited about it and thought it was a little weird (and wondered why isn't momma just holding me like she always does)...
but after a few times, i'm a pro and really love hanging out in there for exercise and getting to play with new toys and gadgets... (two pictures of nearly the same thing because momma couldn't decide which was cuter and was pretty sure the relatives wouldn't mind!)...
i like to keep momma company while she does laundry...
and i went swimming for the first time last week! it's still really hot here, but it was perfect for an evening swim. you can see how excited i am, thrilled even... (mom and dad remember that ben was the exact same way as a baby - how funny!)...
and i'm finally enjoying tummy time a bit more - yea!
i can roll over from my tummy to my back but don't do it very often at all. and momma knows i could roll from my back to my tummy, but i haven't technically done that all on my own yet. i prefer to just take it easy around here, if you know what i mean. rolling over seems like work so i just mostly stay where i am, and although mom previously tried guilt-tripping me into doing it by telling me that ben was rolling over both ways by two and a half months old, she decided to stop doing that since i'm so cute and easier to keep track of if i just stay in one place anyway (not to mention the psychological repurcussions - augh, mom!).
well, that's about all for us. things are moving right along and we're really, really looking forward to fall. we've already been to the park a lot more as it gets a tiny bit cooler, and ben and i are loving each other more and more as i can do more things with him (and type the word "more" a lot). i "talk" a lot throughout the day now and am just a super happy baby. and ben is an awesome big brother to me. we sure do love each other...
(but we only have the patience for so many pictures, sorry momma...)
okay, bye!
