Benjamin's Dance

I neglected in my last post to include the fact that Benjamin is walking now. He starte to really walk just a week before his birthday. He had been practicing a lot before, but had not got up the courage to actually take off. Now, we cannot stop him. He also loves to dance. The boys put on the demos on the piano and dance around the living room. Benjamin loves to join them. Here is a little video of his crazy moves.

Allen's Little Window

I guess it has been a little while. Time flies by a little too quickly. I missed writing about Benjamin's birthday. We did not too much, but just had the family in town over for cake and some fun with balloons. My cake was a disaster, but luckily Benjamin didn't care much. He just enjoyed eating it. I was trying to make a Lego guy (with a pan Mike got from Legoland) and a Lego brick, but both cakes fell apart when I removed them from the pan. I was able to paste the brick back together with some very runny frosting, but it still looked pretty sad. Anyway, Benjamin loved the balloons, so I hope that made up for it.

Also, just a couple days ago Allen lost his first tooth (I figure the front teeth pulled out by the dentist don't count). He was so excited that they were getting really loose, and on Saturday night I saw that one had the permanent tooth growing in already underneath it. So, Mike pulled out the baby tooth. Allen was really brave (even thought it took a little tugging), and he was so proud of his new little window! The picture is at the top because I couldn't get it to move. I am not adept at this computer stuff!
