Vomit hair

There was just a bit of vomit in the night, but Benjy's pretty happy
now. The vomit in his hair makes for a nice look and a not-so-nice
smell.

More pictures of Benjy

This weekend, I took some pictures of Benjy standing up against my legs and against the sliding doors in our dining room.

Sifu Benjy

Last week, for Halloween, we dressed Benjy up as a ninja warrior. We didn't go trick or treating, but he had fun in costume at school. (In case you were curious, "Sifu" is an title that a martial arts practitioner would use when speaking to an accomplished instructor.)

Benjy on his walk

Yesterday, Steph took Benjy out for a walk. Here he is. Isn't he cute? (Yep, this post isn't so different from the previous one. But that's ok, right?)

Benjy, walking

Today, Benjy went for a walk at school. (OK, he goes for walks everyday -- but isn't he cute?)

Look how I found him this morning

Steph's in DC attending a conference and some meetings, so Benjy and I are going it alone for a few days. Not too many days, really, but I was worried about how I'd do it all. The early returns are good, however. I even managed to wake up overnight when Benjy awakened and screamed. (I was worried I'd sleep through him, and I've got a track record for that.) After a 4 am feeding, Benjy went back to sleep and so did I. Around 6:45 or so, he woke up and started chatting with himself. Around 7 am, this is how I found him.

Benjy grins

With our move only a few days away (on Tuesday), packing has begun. There are lots of boxes around, and I've already had to open one to get out a kippah for a Bat Mitzvah we'll be attending (for a while, anyway) tomorrow morning in Brookline.

Here's a picture of Benjy that Steph took this morning. Check out that fabulous grin.

Benjy & his buddy

On Sunday evening, Steph and I got a babysitter for the very first time and went out for a nice dinner to celebrate her impending birthday. (Dinner was amazing, as it always is at the Oleana restaurant in Cambridge. The only downer was that our friends F and B had to cancel.)

Benjy's babysitter B was one of the teachers at his school. B loves Benjy, and Benjy loves her. So it was perfect. Here's a picture of Benjy, just post-bath, that B took.

More photos of Benjy

The morning after Benjy pulled Saba's ears (below), Saba took a pile of terrific pictures of Benjy. Here's one of them. For more, click on the Steph's photos at the right of this post.

Benjy, captured

While we were up in Maine, Benjy's Saba took a bunch of pictures of him. Here's Saba's favorite. You can find more by clicking on "Steph's photos" at the right.

Finding photos of Benjy

We've been trying to post photos as often as we can -- between feedings and changing poopy diapers, of course. To make it easier for you to find these photos, even when they're not featured in the blog, I've added links to our photo sites at the right of the blog.
