Labor Day Weekend

We spent Labor Day Weekend in Springfield. The week was packed with parties and family get-togethers: Kathy's 5oth, Julia's Great-Grandma Snodgrass' 90th, and small Wimberley reunion. I'll make sure the other side of the family is well represented in the next blog.
Ben met cousin Marcus--they played in Mema's brand new garden. Below is a picture of how the family tries to distract Ben from the fact that he's hungry and tired. They did a great job.
Aunt Tracy Ava was gracious to let Ben borrow some of Sam's toys. It's amazing how transfixed he is by these little people. He loves putting them in the bus and then taking them out quickly.

9 months

We went to the doctor today for Ben's 9 month check-up. At 21 pounds, it is obvious that he doesn't miss many meals. He's crawling now and starting to lift himself up. It's a lot of fun but certainly more work. The last picture is proof that the boy can flat wear himself out.
