Apparently even babies find tiny little toes irresistible

Ben and the peas are not exactly simpatico. When viewed large, you can see it was in both his nose and on his eyelids. Cleaning it off his eyelids is not a fun task. Or his ears.

Matthew has a tooth!

Despite many attempts, we haven't been able to photograph it yet - his tongue keeps getting in the way. His lower front left tooth has come in and it looks like the lower right front tooth isn't too far behind.

Uncle Mike and Aunt Shannon were in for the weekend. They took the opportunity to try and convert the boys over to the dark side

Underwater

Here's how the boys react to going underwater. This isn't the first time for either, but is pretty typical of their respective reactions so far.

Matt: Meh, no biggie.


Ben: "What are you *doing*?"

Wow. Just Wow.

OK, so I'm not sure where he goes from here. I don' t see how he can top this one.

Maybe he thought I was going to feed him green beans again and wanted to make sure there was no physical way anything else could fit in his mouth.

Our First Swim

They weren't big fans of going under water, but otherwise
did really well. They are learning how to kick, float on their
backs and jump in from the side of the pool (with help, of
course). Before we know it they'll be swimming laps!

Ben with his Actual Cast

Ben got his actual cast put on today. He'll have to wear it for the next 2-3 weeks. He didn't fuss too much, and was happy he got it in his favorite color. He's also allowed to get wet, so he'll still be able to go swimming.

I'll let you decide which one of these is more typical around our house

These are a little old, but flickr just started letting you upload videos.

Thanks to sweaters from Great Grandma Coop.

Ben's First Cast

Well, temporary splint actually. He gets the actual cast Monday. We noticed he wasn't putting weight on his left leg, so we took him to the doctor. X-Ray's showed a small fracture, but we won't know more until we talk to the orthopedist. He doesn't seem to be in any pain, and other than not being able to put weight on it moves the leg just fine.

Matt has requested that he get to be the first one to sign the cast once its on.

For the record, I wasn't teasing him. I just knew that he sounded like that when he asks for toast.

Ben has learned a new trick. We wondered why when we woke him up in the morning his toes were always wet.
