Happy Hanukkah!

Benjamin is enjoying his first Hanukkah. Grandma, Popi and Uncle Adam came down to celebrate with us. Ben had fun opening his presents and looking at his new toys!

Guess who can scoot around...

As he's demonstrating in the picture, Ben has discovered that if he digs his heel in he can move backwards around the floor! He started out with his feet at the bottom of the mat. This is making diaper changes interesting.

Snow!

We had to take Ben out today to see his first snowfall. He was kind of confused when the snowflakes landed on his face. We only stayed outside for a couple minutes.

Thanksgiving Part II

Ben had a good time visiting with Mimi and Uncle Joel and Aunt Rhonda after Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ben had a great first Thanksgiving at his Gilbert grandparents house in NJ. He had fun playing with Grandma, Popi, Uncle Adam, and Makiko. He is looking forward to seeing his Great Grandmother on Friday.

Smiley Baby

Ben has been so happy and smiley lately and we finally captured a couple smiles with the camera! He especially likes it when we kiss his face and he seems to think it's funny when I say "Benjamin". He also thought it was very funny at 5am this morning when I told him it was time to go back to sleep.

Playing with Grammy

Ben had a lot of fun playing with Grammy the past few days. He had some of his biggest smiles this morning. Here are some cute pictures from the past week or so.
