Update

Well I have been busy with all of the normal day to day happenings and also getting ready for our trip to Boston and for my mom and sister to come visit! Lots going on!!!
I am really excited for our trip. We are staying in New Hampshire for about 5 days and touring around that state, Vermont and Maine. Then we go to Boston for our friend Jason's wedding and a little site seeing. My Aunt Barbara and cousins Ella and Tara are coming up to watch Ben while Brent and I go to the wedding. I'm really excited for them to meet him and plus I haven't seen them in a long time!
Ben is doing good. He has 4 teeth now - well three and a quarter- but it will be a solid 4 in no time! He is still cruising around anything he can lean against. We keep wondering when he will take that first step. He can stand on his own but only if he doesn't know he's by himself! He is getting more adventurous and has started climbing on things which means I really have to keep a close eye on him now because sometimes he falls off backwards once he gets up. He has also started waving, which is so cute. He doesn't do it all the time but for some reason likes to wave a lot when I change his diaper...funny guy!
He also "dances" when there is music from the radio, his toys or the tv. It's mostly just moving his head and bobbing up and down but super cute.
The other funny thing he does is if he hears clapping or a sound resembling clapping on tv he claps too :)
Ben will be one years old in a matter of weeks...I can hardly believe my baby is growing up so fast *sigh*...this past year has just flown by...
Brent has started his new job with Coffman Engineers this past Monday. He seems to like it so far so we will see what the future brings!
That's all for now but we will have tons of pictures and video from our trip when we get back!
