On the move...

Ben has been rolling over for a couple of months now... and he likes to pull himself up with his arms, but he hasn't figured out how to crawl (yet!) He would prefer to squawk until someone picks him up and takes him to where he wants to go! Ben has enjoyed standing for months... and seems to prefer walking motions over people helping him to crawl. He has been sitting with help for awhile, but managed to stay upright by himself today for quite a few minutes... it was impressive! Some of his favorite games include spitting with daddy (it sounds like he is trying to "buzz" on a trumpet!), and the pass off game... in which he sees how many times he can be passed around before we put him in his exersaucer to play by himself! What he really enjoys is getting attention from Mommy and Daddy at the same time!

A few weeks ago Corey was running late from work to go to church on Wednesday for Lent, so he met us after Mass had already started. Ben was so excited to see his daddy that he started buzzing at him and proceeded to try and get his attention all through Mass. When it was all done Corey went to hold Ben and finally buzz back... but Ben decided it was payback time and kept ignoring him for the rest of the evening! Ben has also figured out how to arch his back when he doesn't want to do something (like go in his car seat.) He can have such a stubborn personality, but he is also such a people person that people don't always believes us that he isn't the perfect baby!
