Benjamin is great...he is super busy and now running all over the place. He has finally mastered walking with shoes on which is great. It took him a while to realize he needed to lift his feet higher, but now he's a pro. Its nice that I can put him down and he can wander around. I don't have to worry about him crawling on his hands anymore..yay. But in a way its a little said. My baby boy is growing up so fast...He's not a baby anymore. Part of me wishes he could stay this age forever. He is definitely a mama's boy. He says "mama" a lot, but he loves his daddy too. If he's up when daddy gets home from work he runs over to the door with his arms up before Jon can even take his shoes off.. He also sits in the window and watches for the girls to come home after school. When he sees them walking closer he starts to wave so enthusiastically. Its very sweet.

We had another appointment today with the eye doctor. Benjamin was a superstar. He woke up at 5am this morning and was very cranky by the time we had to leave. He fought me to get dressed and then sat patiently while the doctor looked at his eyes for several minutes & put in the drops. What a monkey. The not so great thing is that Benjamin's eyes have not improved since his last appointment 8 months ago. He is fairly farsighted, right on the border of it being a problem, him needing classes. The good news is his eyes are balanced and he is not showing signs of this being a huge issue yet. So we wait again for another 8 months unless we notice one of his eyes turning in. If things haven't improved by June then we have to start talking about our options. So that was kind of disappointing, but obviously its not the end of the world. We're just going to pray that things improve over the next 8 months.

Other then that things are good. Everyone is still healthy here (knock on wood) and we're just busy doing our thing. We're hoping for some great weather in the next few weeks before winter is in full swing.
