It Can't Be...

A tooth!??!??! I can't believe Ben has cut his first tooth already! You can't see it but you can feel it.

For those of you keeping track, that is half the time it took Abby to cut her first tooth (16 months 6 days vs 8 months 22 days). It might be a good thing he started drinking from a sippy cup this week too. Say a prayer for me if you get the chance...one good CHOMP and we are done!

Ride On!

What a perfect day for a bike (or stroller) ride! It was hard to believe that it is still only January, but we made sure to take advantage of the 52 degree day. I suggested that we go for a walk but Abby insisted on taking her new bike for a spin. All that practicing in the house paid off--as soon as she got that bike to the sidewalk, she was off! We made it .6 of a mike before she agreed to turn around and then, she wanted to add on the loop on the way back. Even after I told her it would take us longer to get home. By the end of our trip she was ready to go inside because her eyes were freezing. I just laughed.





Ben didn't seem to mind our long adventure outside either.

Looks like we are going to log lots of miles this summer! Watch out Frosty Boy, we know where you are and Abby is determined to make it to you as soon as possible!

Dinner!

Five days ago I visited the doctor to discuss Ben's lack of eating food. After tonight, I know that there is nothing to worry about!

Looks like Ben is a fan of Italian and all I have to say is "eat on Ben, eat on"!

Let the Chasing Begin!

Ben is a growing boy! He started sitting up in late December


And started giving kisses around the same time. He says "Mama" when I get him up in the morning and from naps. He says "Dada" too! And yesterday he started army and roly-poly "crawling".

Life at the Johnson abode is never going to be the same!

Oh, and here is Sis with her blue sucker tongue :)
