I gave Ben a sippy cup to see if he'd be interested in drinking from it and he was really excited about it, but not so much for the reasons I'd hoped! It apparently makes a great toy and teether. His top teeth are on their way in so he's still chewing on things non-stop. 
Hanging out at the park with his new baseball cap.
Ben and I went on our first road trip together to visit Aunt Stacey in Dallas. He was a pretty good traveler but when he got a break from his carseat he wanted to stay in the front seat with me.
The bluebonnets are still blooming in North Texas so I tried one last time to get some pictures of Ben in the wildflowers. I don't want to leave without some good Texas memories for him. Matt left last Friday for Singapore so he is already settling into work and getting our condo in order. Ben and I plan to leave May 21st and we hope to find that all of our belongings made it there ahead of us as scheduled. He'll be a year old on May 22nd so it seems like a good time to start his big journey overseas.
On another exciting note, Ben has started pulling up on things (mostly nearby shirts for now) and standing himself up. He absolutely will not crawl because for whatever reason he hates to be on his tummy, but he can make the crawling motions. I wonder if he's going to be one of those kids that skips crawling entirely but it sure is nice not having to chase him around yet!
