Hard at Play

 Using the Sit & Spin (from Nana & Grandpap) for the first time.  He didn't need a bit of help.

 

 This must have been during the play-offs.

 

 All bundled up and read to go for a stroll.  As much as he runs around, sometimes he crawls into his stroller and waits to be pushed.

 

 At the park with Daddy.

 

 This kid went for months and months getting ticked off whenever I tried to get him to stack his wooden blocks.  He'd stack a couple, then knock them down and run away.  Then one day a few weeks ago he started building these tall towers.

 

 I wonder how long he's been able to do this but refused to give us the satisfaction of seeing him do it.

 

 Speaking of Ben being stubborn...I'm always so glad to see him "reading" a book because he refuses to let me read to him anymore.  I can't remember the last time he sat through even two pages.

 

 We found the table and chairs at Ikea, and I'm so glad we got them.  He loves his little area of the living room and has started to really be interested in those puzzles now that they're on his table.

 

  I was driving to the store and looked back to see why Ben was so quiet.  He had put this hat on himself (or tried, anyway) and fallen asleep.  I snapped the picture while waiting at a traffic light.
