He Walks!

My baby boy is walking.  Oh Ben, how did you get so big so fast?

3 Steps for Ben

Benjamin just took three good steps a moment ago while watching his big sister blow bubbles.  He has taken two steps a few times this week, but with this third step it all felt a bit more noteworthy.  Way to go Ben!

Happy Easter!

Christ is Risen, Alleluia!
We had a glorious Easter and it was filled with good things.

 -Cousin love

 - And more fantastic food

A Blessed Easter Season to you all!

At the Zoo

Last week, we all went to the Fort Worth Zoo with Nanny.  Despite some rain and a tornado siren, it was a perfectly lovely outing.  Fortunately, the tornadoes were not near enough to put us in any danger.  The sirens did clear out the zoo pretty quickly, though, and we practically had the entire place to ourselves.

A few highlights of the trip:

1.Watching the nervous black bear pace back and forth:

 2. The "Lion King" (as Leah called him)

 3. Feeding the parakeets and cockatiels with Nanny

4. Enjoying some sticky sweet Snowballs (or "ice" as Leah called it), compliments of Nanny!

5. Getting a season pass from Nanny so we can go again...and again and again!!

Strolling

Today I caught Ben pushing Leah's baby doll stroller.  I think someone would really like to walk soon.
