Silly Boys

Pool Time

Greg's sweet Aunt J. and Uncle D. invited the entire clan to their house. Benjamin started having fun right away... There was a "cat" there!

Happily waving. This is after he ran away and I had to chase him down the sidewalk.
Jacob showing off his new swimming skills.
Benjamin's first time in the pool.






















I couldn't get one with both of them looking up.

There's probably a lot I could type. It was a good day, but an exhausting day. So, this will have to do for now.

Return of the Ninja, Presents, and a Truck

Baby Ninja made another appearance last night! He wore the belt until bedtime.

Jacob brought me flowers tonight. :)
This window sill contains my treasures from Jacob. Whenever he finds a neat rock or a pine cone, he saves them for me (I'm not sure why, but it's sweet!).
Benjamin wanted to ride on his toy truck.
Can you see what's inside the truck?


Here's a close up.


And the one shot Jacob let me take. I think I have a one-photo-per-day limit with him.

Baby Ninja

Yesterday Benjamin grabbed Jacob's karate belt and started playing with it. I wrapped it around his waist and he was SOOOOO happy. He became very upset when I took it from him (Jacob had to leave for karate). We got out an old belt of Jacob's and put it on. He happily wandered around the house in his belt. He carried toys and dropped them over a gate, making his "sssss" noise.

The belt, not being made for a 1-year-old, fell off a couple of times. I tried to put it away, but Benjamin would then start throwing a fit. Each time I wrapped it around him, he'd get a giddy, excited look in his eyes. When I finished, he'd take off and start doing his busy "ninja" work (dropping toys over the gate).

By the way, Benjamin really likes to stick his tongue out.

Despite how it appears, Boehmke actually hates kids. She's just really desperate for attention, so she takes what she can get.
Jacob didn't really want me to take his picture.
But I did anyway.

Update on Benjamin's Words

Benjamin can say:
Jacob
Daddy

Hi, Daddy
Cat
More
All Done
Thank You
Diaper
Chicken
Uh Oh

What's missing?
Momma.
Little stinker.

Mike Dunleavy Pops Up Again

Jacob informed me that he thinks Mike Dunleavy is as strong as two of me. I said that was probably true. (He then went on to say that there are a lot of grown ups who are as strong as two of me.)

Greg said Mike Dunleavy is Jacob's Chuck Norris.

(Go to www.google.com and type in "find Chuck Norris"-- Don't hit "Enter." Hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.)
