Helping with the Laundry

Ben decided he wanted to "help" with the laundry this afternoon. Helping me fold laundry has become a favorite task of his.

I love how he looks like he's waving to the camera in this one. So sweet and innocent. But in reality he is about to grab the basket and dump all the clothes out.



He kept trying to climb into the basket until I finally put him in it, which he thought was hilarous.



He "helped" by pulling out various things.




I don't think I could have done it without him.

Family Visit

I was really looking forward to partying with my Aunt Jaimee, Uncle Jason, and cousin Lily, but unfortunately I got sick (Mom calls it a "stomach bug" but I didn't see any bugs) 24 hours before they arrived.

So I spent the first few days of the visit looking pathetic and cuddling in anyone's arms who'd take me. Luckily, Aunt Jaimee was happy to take on the job. She is comfy!


After a day or two, I was feeling a little better and started noticing a big kid roaming around. I was pretty impressed with how she could walk and hold her own bottle. How does she do that?


Aunt Jaimee played fun games with me. My cousin Lily thought it was pretty funny, but after a while she wanted her mama back, so I had to get down.


Which was fine, because there is nothing I like better than to crawl around and see what kind of trouble I can get into.



And Uncle Jason was happy to play with me too. We had fun "walking" around. I am not as advanced as Lily, but I'm working on it.


But sometimes a guy just needs a little down time. So I cuddled up on Uncle Jason's lap with Lily for a good story. I prefer to eat my books rather than read them, but this was okay too.



I had a great time hanging out. I hope they will come back again soon. Meanwhile, I'll be working on my walking skills so I can keep up with Lily next time!
