Walkin' Machine!

Ben is what I would consider a pretty polished walker now. He takes a tumble now and then, and still opts to crawl maybe 1/3 of the time, but he's getting pretty darn good at getting around on two feet! He can also stop, crouch down, pick something up, stand up, and keep walking. Even I have a hard time doing that! I want to get some video of his walking posted here, but need Mike's help because that's a little too much for my little brain to figure out...but check back! Ben also has a new purpose in life, something that he yearns to do every day all day, and that is to dig with small sticks. Spring has come to Boise and it's beautiful outside. Ben stands at our back glass door complaining until we release him to his new playground. We have these nasty, sticky sap buds from the trees in the backyard that get all over everything...I tried to avoid them at first and now have just come to terms with the fact that they will just have to destroy his clothes. Can't hold the kid back from his dreams of digging with sticks. Anyway, here are a few shots of his new pastime, as always you can see loads more here: http://hagman.shutterfly.com/action
