The Ascent of Man



Ben is showing a lot of interest in getting around in an upright position. As long as he is near something he can keep a hand on he moves around easily. He likes to be walked around while holding a finger as shown here. He has starting squatting and kneeling also. Sometimes he tests his balance by letting go and wobbling for a moment before falling to his rump with a thump. Otherwise, crawling all over the house and trying to climb things. Not much babbling yet though.

Hmmmmm.....

It's been obvious for a while that Ben covets the tv remote control and because of this we keep it where he can't reach it. This morning it was inadvertently left sitting where he could get it. Within minutes of being placed amidst his toys in the living room floor, he spied it, went to it and promptly turned on the tv and stood there watching cartoons. hmmm...

Ben's first injury


Ben somehow scratched his eye while napping. The good news is that he had to wear the eye patch for less than 24 hours. Posted by Picasa
