Ride ’em Cowboy

January 19th, 2010. (19 months, 2 weeks old.) by ben

Ma and Pa got me this super rocking horse for Christmas.

It didn’t take me long to figure out to make this pony strut his stuff!  Giddyap!


Power Tools

January 16th, 2010. (19 months, 2 weeks old.) by ben

Recently, M&D got a me-sized table and chairs.  Yay!  And even better, I got to help Daddy feel special by letting him help me put some of the parts together.  (He loves it when I do that.)  Here you can watch us at work.


Making Orange Juice

January 10th, 2010. (19 months, 1 week old.) by ben

The other day, Mommy and me made some orange juice.  Turns out that orange juice comes from oranges!  Who’d have thought?

At first, I had to concentrate (ha ha) very hard to get the juice out.

But after a little practice, I was doing just fine with my eyes closed!  No problem!

Now if Daddy will just show me how to work the waffle iron, I’ll be all set!


Scarf Avant-Garde

January 6th, 2010. (19 months old.) by ben

It seemed only appropriate to start off 2010 with a new fashion statement.  Once again, I set my own direction down Fashion Avenue.

Behold!  A simple re-casting of this off-the-shelf item (Ed. Note: pulled right from the clean laundry basket), and I have a versatile, light winter scarf with a six different ways to wear and express myself.

(Ed. Note: Ben, I think you won’t find that you have to fight too much traffic down your ‘Fashion Avenue’.)


Happy New Year!

January 1st, 2010. (19 months old.) by ben

M&D and I had a great time celebrating the new year.  You can see me being silly playing with my goggles while getting ready for my bath.

Daddy said something about ‘reminding us about what is really important in life’.  I think he was talking about the best way to wear your goggles and shirt on your head so as to make people laugh.  I think he’s right.


New Pet!

December 17th, 2009. (18 months, 2 weeks old.) by ben

M&D introduced me to our new family pet.  World, meet pet heating pad!

It even comes with its own built in leash, which I use to take it for walks all over the house.  M&D say they like it because it is easy to care for and clean up after, too.


Park ‘n’ Wash

December 13th, 2009. (18 months, 1 week old.) by ben

Wouldn’t you know it?  M&D had just what I need!  A Park ‘n’ Wash for my truck and tractor.  One stop takes care of all your parking and truck washing needs!

Box Sitting

December 2nd, 2009. (18 months old.) by ben

One thing I’ve learned while stalking Atlas is that he likes to sit in boxes – he can often be found snoozing in them.  So I figured I’d try it out and see what it was all about.  It’s never a bad idea to learn from a pro!

Here’s Atlas, demonstrating his technique.

Learnin’ to drive

November 10th, 2009. (17 months, 1 week old.) by ben

Never mind that my feet don’t reach the end of the seat, much less the pedals – I can’t wait to drive the car!

img40d_02317

Look!  I already know how to put the key in the ignition, and put on the air!

img40d_02321

I bet I could get M&D to go for the idea of a chauffeur!

img40d_02330

Weeeeeeeee!

(Ed. Note: We’re definitely going to have to keep an eye on this kid…)


Flossing Time

October 31st, 2009. (16 months, 4 weeks old.) by ben

Now that I have a bunch of teeth, M&D say I have to learn to take care of them.  Apparently, part of the routine is munching on a piece of flavored string before bed.

img40d_02245

Count me in!

(Ed. Note: And just in time for Halloween, too!)
