First Shoes

Can you tell where Ben's hand was when he took a nap yesterday?


I finally bought Ben a pair of shoes that will (hopefully) stay on. He can't be a barefoot boy forever now that he's getting mobile, so I want him to get used to having things on his feet that have to stay on. Luckily, these have laces that are really fun to chew while he's sitting in the stroller.


This morning he was babbling up a storm, so I was trying to get a video of him talking but instead I happened to catch him standing up on his own for the first time! It's hard to tell in the video, but he stood himself up, stayed for a couple of seconds, then plopped back down. I was so proud!
