The Little Things

For such a little guy, Ben is so studious! He has started examining everything in great detail and slapping at the things that really grab his attention.







He's such a happy boy when he wakes up in the morning!












The daily walk is one of Ben's favorite parts of the day...it used to be a nap time but now he watches everything as it goes by.

Mo Milk

Ben stays with Grammy and Grandpa ("Grumpy") Shepherd during the weekdays and he never lacks attention!









Can you tell I like milk?? Look at my chubby arms!











My new favorite toy - my tongue!












This was the outfit Ben wore home from the hospital 4 months ago...it's hard to believe he's grown that much already!

Standing

Ben LOVES to stand now! (with a little help, of course)



















We already have a little TV watcher. If I lay him on the floor facing away from the TV, he'll just look up as high as he can to see the screen. It is playoff season, so I can't blame him too much...



















Just hanging out















Playing in his new walker, which took over an hour and some creative engineering to put together. Who knew you'd have to be a bodybuilder to assemble a kid's toy?
