BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LETTER B

Benjamin Benjamin Benjamin is a busy boy! lately he is loving his rainforest jumperoo. He gets in the seat & can really get to jumping & bouncing around.
Last week we started him on baby food. We started out with squash & this week he is eating carrots. No picky eaters in this house. Let me tell you, he is a Towe/Dill combo for sure! We are lucky to have such a good eater:)
He is teething like crazy, but still no teeth. Please, Lord, bring my baby teeth! This is no fun:(
He is very interested in crinkly things. Like a diaper, a piece of paper, the crinkly wipes package, a candy wrapper.....anything that makes crinkly noise.
He is also rolling around like crazy. I can hardly set him down on the floor & he will already be trying to roll over. He is getting pretty good at scooting too. Not too much longer & this busy boy will be crawling!

That's all for now! More to come later!

A BUST!

Last weekend Matt & I attend OSU Homecoming walkaround and pre-game festivities at TU Saturday. Let me just say that we had a great time getting out as a family, however, we hardly saw anyone we knew. What a bust!
Halloween proved to be just as uneventful. Matt dressed like cousin Eddie for work. When he got home, the roles changed & I donned my vampiress gear to pass out candy....to all 4 (yes 4, F-O-U-R, four) trick or treators. What a bust!
Buddy managed to dig under the fence last night. While eating dinner, Matt heard some commotion & looked outside & saw Buddy sitting in our neighbors yard. Not a good thing because his pit/lab mix was outside as well as the 200 lb bullmastif. What drama. The dogs are in big trouble. BUSTED!
Ben is going to my parents for a couple days starting tomorrow. I really will miss the little guy, but in lite of recent events with the above mention dogs, we are in need of some kind of barrier, be it landscape, electric fence, concrete blocks...whatever. There goes a day of vacation Matt was planning to take to get OTHER stuff done around the house.
All of this, plus more is driving me crazy. We won't even go into the fact that 5 months after delivering Ben, I'm still dealing with insurance company claims etc....What a pain in the ass!! Even more frustrating is the my 11 year old cousins could do the work of whatever idiot I have been talking to.
Thank goodness I'm married to Matt. He never looses his cool. He is always supportive of me. He may not always say or do the right thing, but I know he always means well. He is the perfect husband for me & the best Daddy for our little family. When all these things start to go crazy, I feel so lucky to have him to lean on.
Oh did I mention Ben still has no teeth?! Dear God, please bring my baby teeth. This teething stuff isn't fun & has gone on long enough! Seriously.
Whew, enough for now!
