How is this for an action shot? Benjamin continues to be OBSESSED with vaccuum cleaners-in fact I think it has reached a whole new level. He seems to find them everywhere we go-stores, people's houses. Our house has never been cleaner!
Benjamin started his swim lessons this Saturday, and we predicted he would love the water and not be afraid at all. We were right-he LOVED swimming!!!! He was so funny in the water-he had a giant smile on his face the entire time. He was splashing, screaming, kicking, and dunking his head underwater with no problem. It was so much fun-we can't wait to do it again!
We ventured to the park just a few blocks over from our house today, and Benjamin was in heaven! He had so much fun climbing the playstructure, going down the slide, and playing on the swings. He was smiling the entire time we were there! He is going to love spring and summer-I can't wait!
Riding the dinosaur-loved this too! Last summer, I took Chloe with us to the park and she was barking at this dinosaur! Quite the guard dog, huh?
Daddy building Benjamin a snowman in the backyard. Unfortunately he was more interested in destroying it than anything else. He and Chloe made quite a team stealing the sticks! :)
He really enjoyed the swings!
Well after a beautiful 45 degree day yesterday, we woke up to a TON of snow today and a snow day for mommy! Woooooo hoooooo! It was warm enough and Benjamin is finally healthy again so we could go out and enjoy the snow. We played outside for quite awhile and had a great time!
Going for a sled ride!
We finally got to Grand Rapids this weekend to see our good friends Matt and Jess and their new twin girls, Natalie and Ava. (Well, not so new-they were born in December). I don't know why we haven't learned that we should take pictures of Benjamin with our friends' babies when we first arrive, because the picture above was taken about 5 minutes before we left and as you can see, Benjamin was NOT happy to have his picture taken. His face here is absolutely priceless!
Ava (left) and Natalie (right) sleeping. Aren't they precious?
At the very end of our little photo shoot, Benjamin decided to be nice and grabbed Natalie's little hand and was holding it. At least he attempted to redeem himself.
Benjamin got his hair cut again today and he definitely got a "Big Boy" hair cut! He was extremely cooperative and all of the ladies that worked there loved him! The suckers definitely helped get him through as well :)
