Stop hitting yourself

It started off as a cute dancing game between Leah and Ben and turned into the "stop hitting yourself" game.  Here we go...

Indoor fun

When it's blazing hot outside and you have a very active almost-two year old, you gotta find something new and fun to do inside.  I remember my mother doing this for some little siblings and cousins of mine and it kept them good and occupied:  Just give 'em a tray of shaving cream and let them play in it!

I don't actually remember it going this far, but it was fun - nothing a quick bath couldn't fix...and super easy to wipe off the table and chair, too!  Leah had a blast:

The fit isn't quite the same, but...

...when I dressed Ben in this adorable outfit from Guggie and Grandpa Mike, all I could think of was this....

 

Now all Ben needs is a sweet mustache.

Some sibling love:

Ain't she a sweet big sister?!

Mr. Ben's first weeks:

We have been thoroughly enjoying our sweet little Ben these past 3 weeks.  (Wow! It's hard to believe that 3 weeks have gone by already!)  He's a pretty content little guy and doesn't seem to mind the uncontrollable noise level of his big sister too much.  I love his tiny nose and the two opposing cowlicks on his head.  I swear that he smiles...and has smiled, on occasion, since week 1.  Anyway, here are some photos from Ben's first weeks.

I apologize for the photo dump...

Nanny!!

Only 5 months apart!  Ben will be catching up to cousin Evie in no time!

Leah is very helpful during diaper changes.
