Busy busy busy...I don't really know what we've been so busy doing, but we've been busy. I can't believe that in a week and a half "summer" will be over and things will go back to "normal". I'm excited in a way...looking forward to quiet time with Benjamin. I'm also looking forward to quiet time for me. Kids at school and him napping a couple hours during the day gives me a little time to myself, which seems to be so rare lately. But I'm also sad that its over. We've had a fantastic summer. I had such a great time with the kids. It was so nice to do some things with them on my own and with Jon. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. We just had an amazing few months..I enjoyed every minute.

Benjamin, my little monkey, is just learning and growing everyday. He is now standing on his own and today he took 4 steps all on his own. Its only a matter of time and he'll be off and running. I'm so thrilled with his development. He is just right where he should be. He is also starting to get over his texture issues..although he still hates pasta. He's eating more regular food and less baby food. He loves all meat..cheese and even pizza. I was a little worried for a bit, but all is good. We also made the transition from formula ( I was supplementing a bit) to whole milk. This was pretty big for us. We new that if he was going to have issues with digestion it would be transitioning to dairy. But he didn't have any problems at all. He did great so we are incredibly thankful for that. I think that's about all when it comes to Benjamin..he is such a good boy and I can't love him enough.
