We took another road trip this weekend up to Michigan so the boys could meet their Great Grandmother. It was great seeing her and great for her to meet Ben and Matt. The entire set of pictures from the trip can be found here here.

The boys in business casual
I had to explain that even though we were all dressed in blue collared shirts they still couldn't come to work with me.

Ben Smiling
It only took many weeks and several tries, but this is what Ben looks like when he smiles. I won't go into the details of what it took to get him to both smile and look right at me, but I think I pulled a hamstring getting it to happen

Baby Workout
i would love to get another shot of this that shows Ben a little better, but after seeing the look on Jess's face after she took the picture I don't know if that will be allowed.
Ben showing me how to make funny faces
I can already hear Matt from the back of the minivan "Daaaad! Ben's making faces at me!"

A comparison
So I was going to add the photo below to the blog and make a comment about how Ben still has his nickname "The Loud One"
But it reminded me of a picture I'd seen before, when I was making out rehearsal dinner slideshow. 
A more direct comparison seemed to be in order.
We may be on to something here.
Ben Sleeping
Years from now when he's passed out in a chair after Thanksgiving dinner, we'll pull out this photo and compare.

Matt turned over
Not a terribly interesting picture, but this was taken right after Matt managed to turn himself over from his stomach over onto his side. The baby development books seem to think this is a very big deal.
Matt Holding His Head Up.
Like most of my pictures, I was a bit late to get the camera out. Matt was holding his head up, and in the time it took me to get the camera out his neck must have gotten tired. So he seems a bit wobbly here, but was holding it pretty steady before I got the camera out.
After his workout it was time to relax with a good thumb-sucking
Go Illini
This was obviously taken before the game, since I'm smiling. It was a good exercise in self control to watch my language once the game actually started. I also tried to get the boys to go back and forth with an "I-L-L", "I-N-I" cheer, but they didn't seem interested.

Mike Feeding Ben
Me: Hey Mike, you want to feed him?
Mike: Sure, what the heck.
Me: Okay, hold him upright in the crook of your arm, then hold the bottle at a bit of an angle
Mike: Like this?
Me: Yup, just like that. He should be done in 35 - 40 minutes, and you have to burp him every 10 minutes of so. Oh and sometimes he won't pull on the bottle, so you have to wiggle his chin a bit with your finger to get him started. Have fun!
Mike: *pause* Well played.
