Ben’s First Ear Infection
We can now check the box that says Ben has had an ear infection now! He has been such a trooper. Unless you spent the night at our house, you’d never know anything was wrong. He took this ear infection like a champ and was in a great mood all week, despite the ear infection. …
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Sending a little love from Ben on this Valentine’s Day!
Snow Day!
Today was one of those rare, magical snow days in Seattle. At our house we got around 5 inches of snow which is more than enough to shut down the city. School was closed today and so was most of Seattle. We loved watching the big, wet flakes slowly, silently fall from the sky this …
Ben is Eight Months Old
My friend Sarah recently pointed out that Ben has been alive longer than he was in eutero for! He is officially 8 months old. As most people say it just keeps getting more and more fun! Ben hasn’t had a doctor’s appointment for a while so we haven’t gotten too many updated stats, but as …

Ben is Seven Months Old!
Happy New Year! We are ringing in 2017 with our seven month old!! Several of our friends have told us that from about four months on it just keeps getting more and more fun and we are really seeing that hold true with Ben. The first few months were fun in their own way but …
Fall Family Photos
Back in mid-October we had a quick photo session with the photographer who took Ben’s newborn photos. We made the mistake of scheduling our time during his naptime and on a day where he was teething like crazy and had been carted all over Seattle. Needless to say he was not a happy camper for …
Food!
One of my favorite things in life is food. I’m far from a “foodie” – I really just like to eat good food and also enjoy a tasty burger every now and again. I’ve been so excited for Ben to start eating so that we could ultimately introduce him to our favorite foods. It has …
