Stay Puft!

Happy Halloween!
This year we did the ghostbusters theme. Josh and I were ghostbusters and Ben was the Stay Puft Marshmallow man. Shane and Kim threw a Halloween party and Ben stayed up until 10pm which he never does happily, and it was a really fun night. Ben has been a lot happier now that he's getting older. I have been enjoying him so much. I will miss this part of his life big time!

Happy Birthday to Ben!

So a couple girls in my neighborhood made Ben a way cute clown cake for his Birthday. He loved the toy clown heads on top.

Proof of the crawler

This is Ben's new outfit from his Grandma and Grandpa Smith. He never gets new clothes, and this outfit is dang cute on him!

Crawling

Oh, by the way, Ben is crawling all over the place and practically walking now. He finally did it and was a pro. He's turning 1 on the 25th!

Nothing but a diaper

So you've probably noticed Ben hasn't been wearing clothes lately. That's kind of our new thing around here. For one thing, I run out of clean clothes before my weekly laundry day, and for another, I just don't see the point. In this photo I took him outside to play with the hose. I noticed how much he loved it when I tried to take him away to go inside one day and he screamed his head off. So this time I just let him hang out for awhile until he figured out his new trick, drinking out of it. So now he probably looks like a neglected naked boy that pretty much takes care of his own needs.

Crawling yet?

Not crawling yet, but he's getting closer every day. Maybe one of these days the big day will come.

One minute to the next!

I thought these photos were funny partly because of the do, but also because they were taken within a few seconds of each other and his emotions are so different
