Blog- what's a blog?
Update - oh, you can't read my mind?
So I've been horrible at blogging lately. I can't promise it's going to change, especially since we're spending a good chunk of time on vacation soon. But I thought I'd update you on a key change to Ben's lifestyle: FOOD!
YES! Ben is eating rice cereal, pears, avocado, and we're trying banana later today. He's loving it. And so am I. Who knew introducing new foods to your child could be so much fun? Only parents probably. Ben stares at us when we eat, eyeing the food (and drink) from the plate (or cup) to our mouths. Does every baby do that? Yes, and you don't care, I know, but really, it's so much fun.Try it. Get a baby, and you'll find out.
Lack of updates: Ben doesn't seem motivated to move around. Hence no sitting, crawling, rolling, nothing. Actually I'm sure he'll be sitting pretty soon, he's almost got it. I'm not worried - I think mothers worry too much. Oh, he's walking already? Your child sleeps through the night? You let him suck his fingers? She's still in diapers? You don't nurse her anymore!? You're still nursing her!!?? You don't buy organic food? You bought her clothes at the store?! I mean, really, it gets a little ridiculous. I'd be lying if I didn't think those things ever (I mean, who doesn't exclusively sew their children's clothes?) but I don't like thinking them.
Didn't think you were getting a rant, did you?
Anyways, apparently we don't take enough pictures, but here are a few from Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, by the way!

In a few days I'll show you a BIG, I mean really BIG surprise.
That may or may not have to do with Christmas presents.
You'll never guess so don't even try.
I wouldn't have thought Doug would take the plunge.
But he has.
And I am thrilled!!!
So stay tuned.

OH MY GOSH! I literally gasped out loud at how adorable your baby is! AHHH! I love watching James eat too, especially when he's feeding himself cheerios. Is that weird? I don't think so.
HE is so adorable!!!!!! I can't wait to see him!!!! What plunge...?? I have to know!!!
Can't wait to hear about the plunge either :) Elsie's the same--- nooooo motivation to move. Except she will roll off her tummy because she HATES her tummy. I keep trying to teach her to flip from back to front, but she couldn't care less! I agree we all worry too much. They all learn all of it at some point or another. There are very few teenagers who can't roll. Or sleep through the night. Or walk. Or....
Ben's super cute! Will you be in NY for Christmas? If you will, see you there!
