No Smiles.

Ben absolutely will not smile for the camera these days, so don't expect to see any grins in these pictures! As soon as he sees the camera he gets very serious...


He does enjoy riding his "pony" around the house!


I've only recently started letting Ben watch videos (just Baby Einstein signing and Elmo) and we've run into a big problem. As if the TV wasn't big enough to see from across the house, he wants to be close enough to touch Elmo. We've had to get creative about blocking the path to the TV.


We spent the afternoon at Sentosa Island, the closest we can get to a real beach in Singapore. It's actually not all that bad, if you don't mind waves from the passing tankers or seaweed, but nothing like the beautiful beaches in neighboring countries. Ben enjoyed (although he doesn't look like it) playing on the extra large lounge chairs at the beach club we found.


Once he got down in the sand and started digging he was having a ball. After spending several weeks in cold weather, our fair little guy is going to have to get acclimated to the heat here again. That's just heat rash on his face and arms, not sunburn. We had to take a swim to cool him off from the intense sun.


Sand does NOT taste good. Apparently Ben forgets and has to check again from time to time.


Ben is crazy about this wagon and legos he got for Christmas. He's getting really good at stacking them, although I'm not quite sure what he's building!


Watch out - crazy driver coming through!


Check out Ben's new moves...

He will dance anywhere and loves to have an audience, like all the adults that were laughing at the crazy kid dancing at the beach club today. Ben is an endless source of entertainment.

    I am laughing so hard! I told the boys "let's watch Ben's new dance moves" and as we were watching I looked over at the boys . . . BOTH Simon & Oliver were 'getting down'! It was good to see y'all when you were here. Take Care - Carrie
