Kicking it

As you know, Ben loves anything he can roll, throw, and now kick. He's graduated from "just walking" into kicking.


He can even do it with a real ball. Note the solid 3-point stance.


Speaking of kicking it, Ben has been working on an elaborate set of dance moves. It involves spinning. Notice how he only stops to hug daddy and check out a Michigan football.


And more spinning with a subtle head twist that looks like he's saying "no you didn't".


Here's the finished product with his head twist, a spin, and tons of twerking.

More Walking Practice

Here are two more videos of Ben walking

Bouncy Ball fun and Walking!

Ben loves this giant bouncy ball his uncle PT and aunt Sue Sue got him.


He's also getting pretty good at walking.

Ben videos

Ben had a poop the other day that was so foul that I needed something to remind me how adorable he is. So, here are a few videos that help do that.

This one is a bit old. It's from Christmas time, and he was just falling asleep after a long day of opening presents...


This one is recent and shows his clapping and waving skills...


This one shows how he scoots around and plays with his big red ball...


Oh, and that reminds me. At bath time, Ben has discovered (as all men do at some point), that he has a toy to play with no matter where he goes. He'll thank me someday that I don't have a video of that.

Ben's first trip to the track

We took Ben to Arlington Park on May 1 for opening day weekend and so daddy could watch the Kentucky Derby. They had a petting farm and ponies to ride, but we just stuck with the petting farm and watching the big horses.

Unfortunately, Ben got sick and we ended up watching the derby at home. But, he picked daddy and uncle Skindzier a winner before we left.
