Erica had to take off her glasses. Ben looks VERY uncomfortable.
Let's try the floor. Erica looks like she is on Nyquil or something.
Let's try another blanket. Oops, Ben looked away.
Ben is looking now, but Erica just remembered she has her glasses on.
A little better but Ben looks like he is trying to tell us something.
Aaah, very cute.
Yeah! I got one. This is my favorite.
I did it once a few years ago and I barely made it to the "Y." Then I tried it last week with Ben in a front pack all by myself one morning (because I'm trying to lose this baby fat) and I couldn't make it.
This is a picture of Erica with her Grandpa Anderson, Uncle Steve and Jeff (doesn't it look like Jeff has a swimming cap on. :) He swears it is a hat to keep your head warm while you are biking and it was all he could find that morning.) They hiked to the "Y" with no problem but then they kept going higher and higher and made it up past the "Y" quite a ways.
Isn't she a tough woman? I want to be like her.
I thought it was so cute how they are surrounding Mary holding baby Jesus. I don't want to forget why we are really celebrating Christmas. It is so easy to forget because there are a million other things to preoccupy our minds in December. Thanks, Erica, for pointing out what this is all about.
Ben wants to say "Hi" too.
I am so lucky that I get to look at this cute face all day long. He loves to smile. It is so cute when he has been crying and then he gets a glimpse of my face and he gives me one of these faces below. It melts my heart.
It is the most adorable thing to watch him try to talk to me and all of these different sounds come out of his mouth. I can see why several women I know have said to me lately that they are baby hungry. Nothing is sweeter than a little baby.
Hi. My name is Benjamin Anderson. This is my cousin, Madelyn. She is 3 weeks and 6 days older than me. This is my mom's blog. Sorry she doesn't post very many pictures of how cute I am these days. I wish my mom's blog was more like Madelyn's mom's blog http://www.scottandleahhoogland.blogspot.com/. There are tons of photos of her and her big brother.
Well, Benjamin, don't worry. Your mom will get the hang of motherhood some day and find time once again to do the things she enjoys.
So since my mom is so busy taking care of me, I'm going to narrate this post for everyone.
Oh, Ben, you are so smart already.
This is a picture of me, my Daddy and my sister Erica. Erica got baptized on November 1 and then I was blessed right after the baptismal program.
Then the next day my cousin, Madelyn, was blessed in her ward in Layton. Our silly parents love to take pictures of the two of us together.
My mom loves to go on walks with me in the stroller and a friend sent her this cute bear costume to wear to stay warm. I was so excited.
Man, I was tired afterwards. What a walk!
That is all for now. I'm going to try to convince my mommy to post more pictures of me so you can see how cute I am. Bye!
Here is B during his first bath. He is 9lbs. 3 oz. now. He didn't really enjoy the bath as you can see from his face.
Here is his Grandpa Anderson. B got his middle name from his grandpa (Brian.)
Here is his Grandma Anderson. She made him that blanket.
E turned 8 on October 15. She is getting baptized this Saturday
