Benjamin needed to relax after a long day. Unfortunately it only lasted for 5 mins.

We handed LB his cup, turnedaround and he had fallen asleep drinking it.

They grow up fast. Here LB lounges in a recliner and enjoys a sippy cup.

In case my son wants to take up a career in rapping, I worked up a logo for him.  Still practicing in photoshop

First car ride without the helmet and potentially the last ride in this car seat!

Working the spiked hair, before mom got back out to the car, licked her hand, and smoothed it back down. Fun while it lasted!

I love this question.  People often ask how old my little boy is, and I am learning that you can’t answer the same as when he’s 15.  You have to count by weeks, or hours, or something.  I am having trouble figuring out what these people want out of me.

He’s 225 days old today.  Thanks for asking.

I’ve decided that once he hits 9 months, I am going to start answering “Almost a year” and after that you’ll be lucky if I even break it into half-years.  I may say “A year and a half,” but I can assure you my child will never be “18 months” old.

If you want how many months, weeks, or dirty diapers he is old, you’ll have to ask my wife.  He’s a half a year, according to me, for the next couple of months.

The boy all bundled up for the cold. He was such a ham all weekend at our staff conference.

why grown men should not be allowed to play with photobooth..

Fall fun.

Outfit number two.  Jack Sparrow.  Seriously, though… I think an eye patch should have been included, despite the fact that he would have immediately ripped it off.

Little man, sporting the first of his two Halloween outfits. (Harvest Festival, if that’s how you roll) Tar Heel Football player seemed like a natural choice, given the necessity of a helmet.
