During fun with Play-Doh time, Dad has a little more fun than LB.
The boy was having fun with the light switches, so mom pulled up a chair to facilitate. Easy babysitter for about 10 minutes. Please don’t call the cops, we’re watching him.
For fun, we tried a wig on him. Then, we went for the gold with the giraffe outfit. These photos (and a few more) are available for download here.
When he Falls and Bumps his head.
Is it wrong that I love it when my child bumps his head, or scrapes his knee? Not in a sadistic way but because, at least for a minute, he’ll put his head on my shoulder, wrap his arms around my neck, and need me.
Today, as we were hanging out at a friend’s birthday party, he fell once, and needed me. Then, every time he’d get scared he was going to fall again, He’d reach out his little hand in my direction, and latch onto whatever finger was closest. Once he had my finger, he might as well have been bulletproof.
Fatherhood is pretty sweet.
This actually happened.
Ben: I have no idea how to potty train. I wouldn't even know where to start.
Jacq: Me neither.
Ben: I mean, I know how to house train a dog, so it's probably pretty similar...
Jacq: What, are you going to rub his face in it?
Ben: (laughing) If it works...
I really like his big head… no, I really do like his big head…

Showcasing all six teeth. This was another session of learning to use the spoon. We’re gonna need to work on it.
A year ago.
One year ago yesterday we handed our 4-month-old to an anesthesiologist and said a prayer.
One year ago yesterday we had more individual viewers on our blog in a single day (by over 300) than any other day before or since.
One year ago yesterday we experienced something that, even today, we don’t like to look at the pictures of.
But God is so good. Though we deserve none of it, he brought our son through surgery to repair craniosynostosis and now, a year later, he’s doing extremely well. We are so thankful for how God works. He doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve.
