Changes...

I still have a whole bunch of cute pictures from our extended trip to Missouri, zoo, wedding, and Cardinal game pictures are to come, but since I'm posting from home, I thought I'd better skip right to the important milestones that have landed at our house.

#1 Ben tried his first solid food the middle of July.

He now is eating bananas, applesauce, and good old cheerios

#2While we were in Missouri, Ben popped out two teeth and he's currently working on a third

#3That same week Ben also decided he should start crawling

#4 When we got home from vacation it was time to upgrade the boys room. So Luke now sleeps in a "big boy bed". He does a real good job getting in and out. We still can't convince him to just hang out in his room and play with his toys in the morning. We hear the pitter patter of little feet around 5:30 or 6:00 every morning.

#5 Now that Ben is crawling he can explore the house and has found his toy basket which he has started to pull up on. He'll be running before too long and then my life will truly be over.

#6 Luke is trying his hand at speaking...real words, not grunts. He doesn't seem to like short words, he only attempts words with two syllables or more. The important thing is that Scott and I understand most of what he says...sometimes.

Oh, for those scoring at home, Ben is 6 months old today and Luke will turn two on Tuesday, the 26th! Crazy!
