Mischief

Ben is doing all kinds of new things since I last wrote..crawling, climbing, and hence getting into absolutely everything. Today he felt especially mischievous, so I made sure to snap pics throughout the day. (with my new camera I got for my birthday, thanks to Mike!) The day started out like any other...with a bottle and a snuggle and then getting straight down to the business of playing. Instead of pulling his toys out this morning he decided to go to them and just crawl on into the shelf where they're stored.



Next when he got bored with that, he heard me in the kitchen and decided to see if he could help out. He's tried to do this before, and I always stopped him thinking it was a really bad idea. But...not today, I decided to grab my camera instead when he started to actually climb into the dishwasher.

Then he thought maybe we needed to take the trash out. Never before has he ever figured out how to open a cupboard...but I'm telling ya, today was the day of mischief and new discoveries. Mike had to install one of those annoying door latch things to childproof as soon as he got home from work!






Then, his friend Will came over to play and that means double trouble. Actually we really just hung out, played, and ate goldfish. However mom had to post this picture of them and point out that
Will is only 10 days younger than Ben...and look at the height difference! I know Will wasn't kneeling and don't think Ben was standing on his tippy toes. :)



Then Dad came home and he decided to show him how he likes to sit in small baskets. He emptied all his toys out of his basket and plopped his bum down. Then he decided to kick doggie out of his bed and check out his basket. He's pretty entertaining!
