Halloween 2009

Pictures of Ben -- playing in the leaves :) Similar to last year, he still prefers to sit in the leaves...


...a sweet comparison. Fall 2008.

Taking one last peek at the ghost.
Terrified...


...a sweet comparison. Halloween 2008.

Although there wasn't any crying this year ... there were a lot of "nooo, nooo mommy,...noooo". Seems that ghosts and pumpkins are a-ok during the day...but, at night, it's a whole other story.

h1n1...

After much deliberation (and fence sitting), we've decided to go ahead and get the h1n1 vaccinations. Ben is seeing Dr. G. on Wednesday...and I'm hoping to sneak in at some point next week. Ben had the regular flu shot last year and seemed fine with it (although I'll have to review my old posts to be sure)... so I'm sure he'll be fine with this one.

So complicated being a parent. You never know if you're making the right decision -- about anything.

A picture can say a thousand words...

and this picture says it all.

No explanation needed. My dad has been waiting for this day for a long time. A little boy to play hockey with. :)

18 months :)



Today Adam and I took Ben to his 18 month checkup/vaccination appointment. (Can you believe it's been 18 months already?!). He didn't cry at all for the needles, but bawled his eyes out when his ears, nose, and height were being checked. Silly kid. Thankfully we brought Bluey, so that seemed to help. He even got to have his weight checked on the big boy scale ;)

Here are the latest stats:

Weight -- 25.5 lbs (45th percentile)

Height -- 34 inches (90th percentile)

At this rate, he'll be 6ft, 2 inches tall at the age of 18. (Towering over his parents...)
