Bumps and Lumps

Ben is getting around like crazy and pulling himself up on everything. He hasn't figured out how to get down yet. So, we have lots of bumps and bruises happening on his head the last week or so. He does seem to have crawling down and runs into things much less while doing that.

I've managed to get the last month's worth of pictures and videos uploaded to Picasa and YouTube.

Our trip to Indianapolis this last weekend was very nice. It was great to see extended family we hadn't seen in 3 or more years. Ben got to meet his Great Grandparents, Great Uncle and some more cousins. He also got to spend nice time with Zayde Mike. Grammy Wendy wasn't able to make it and we all missed her but love the outfits and toys she sent with Zayde.

Movie crazy

Well, I've been a little crazy with making movies of Ben over the last month or so. Friday and Saturday I uploaded 5 to youtube and I took another today. I'll try to load it to the computer soon.

Rear Facing car seats

On a mothering group I am on, the discussion started about when to turn a little one around to face front. As much as I would love to be able to look in the rear view mirror and see Benji's face, we will be waiting until he has reached the maximum weight his car seat will allow before he is forward facing. I encourage all other mothers, fathers, grandparents and those who love and care for babies to do the same. In the case of an accident, it could save the little one's life.

Here are a couple of you tube videos about why to keep a little one rear facing. It is said much better than I ever could. I am a bit too blunt sometimes.
