Bluebonnets on Easter and Ben is 8 months!

This stupid blogger is about to give me a heart attack, it's making me so mad.  I've spent so many late nights trying to upload pictures and it wasn't working, which is the reason I haven't posted in forever.  Now I thought I had it working, but it's not uploading half of my pictures.  ANYWAY!  Time to play catch up!

Easter Sunday, we had an opportunity before church to take a few shots in the pretty bluebonnets (a MUST every spring if you live in Texas).. These crack me up because Ben looks like such a rolly pollie in the middle!

 A few shots at the house on Easter before we left.

Always smiling!


Now let's get to the sweet 8 month pics of my big boy!






Ben is still sleeping like a champ, eating like a growing boy (8 oz. bottles already), and he's starting to try and get around by himself (Uh-Oh)!  When Nate and Lilly aren't smothering him, he really wants to be on the move, chasing them around.  He gets so mad when Brian or I walk out of the room for a second.  You can tell he wants to follow us and see what we're doing!  He's trying to crawl, but then just ends up sitting back up.  Any day now!  He got his first two teeth on the bottom, but no more yet.   He loves most foods except peas and green beans.  He's eating puffs now and LOVES those (such a life saver to stuff a few of those in his mouth when he gets fussy).  We've been making more trips to the park with friends since the weather has been nicer, and Ben loves to get out of the stroller and sit on a blanket.  He also sat in a highchair at Chick-Fil-A for the first time this month!  Yay to not having to bring that stupid carrier everywhere anymore (he's just about too big for that too).  Lots of firsts for this big guy!!

GO RANGERS!

 Chatting at a park with an older woman ;)

 Soooo big!

 That's my childhood blanky on his head :)

 I was proud of my non-crafty self for getting these painted and up in Ben's room!

 Sometimes an evening walk in the stroller is the only way to get any peace.  Maybe he was fussy because of his new teeth?  He loves stroller and car rides!

 Trying to crawl..

Love this of Nate and Lilly before their spring show at school.  They did so good, and they look so grown up!!
