Our readership is being spread around the world (just by the Splinters' travels!). Casey is now in Spain for the term and Wade, Jenn and Ellery are headed to London for a year in a few weeks. Luckily Grams (Jackie) is coming out for some Ben time soon. All the Camp Good Times Moms will have visited this month (including Neale, Rachel's mom).
We were beginning to think Ben was developing Napoleon's sleep schedule (rarely, short lived naps etc.) but today the Splinter in him is coming out...some good naps today. He is laughing more (when he is not screeching over the whole teething thing). He still prefers to be standing than sitting or lying down. We are going to try some cereal one of these days. He is sort of in between his birth age (6 1/2 months) and his due date age (4 1/2 months) so we are in no rush to start food.

Here are some classic shots. Whoever decided to make shoes for babies who don't walk? Perhaps it was just for photo opts like this. Introducing Ben in his chucks.
