I thought I could be super fast applying mascara but before I knew it....

Fire N The Hole

Saturday we went to A Chili Cook Off. Bo made the Chili and it was S to the PICY. It had like 5 habanero peppers just floating in it. Oh and I found out later there was an ABITA Turbo Dog in there. If you know Bo no BEER will go to waste so if it isn't drinkable it will become eatable. The name of the Chili was "Fire N The Hole" Can you believe it won?!?! If you know Bo you know he LOVES to WIN...This is now a new piece on the mantel!

CAUTION MAY CAUSE DIZZINESS:

Once we got home. I had to have a bowl of the award winning chili. I had a very small bowl. The flavor was so good so it was worth your mouth being on fire. Afterward I was sweating started feeling nauseous got a little dizzy and had to go lay down. Sunday Bo ate 2 bowls of his chili and looked at me and said Oh No I feel dizzy! He too had to lay on the couch to recover!

Bo also had visual effects. This was the card he placed in front of his crock pot

Pajama Rama

Friday night we went to Pajamarama at Barnes and Noble. It was fun they read stories, had cookies and milk and an appearance by Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Cake Walk

On Tuesday Me and Ben went to A St.Patricks Day Cake Walk at the library. We went mainly to see the Chick-fil-a cows. Read E. Fox, and Haley the Hippo. Ben was so funny they gave us # 34 and he held it the entire time. I felt a little bad when I was walking to the winner circle and could here all the kids say "Ah Man...I'm never gonna win" But as you can see Ben enjoyed his cake!

Happy 10 Months

Happy 10 Months Ben Parker! What I love most about Ben is that he is absolutely perfect! I am pretty sure he is the best baby EVER. He is always in a good mood and rarely cries. If he cries it is because he face planted AGAIN. I have tried to stop picking him up and hugging him every time he gets hurt but now when I say "Your OK" he looks at me and then crawls to me hugs me and then he is fine :) Such a sweet boy also!

We Ferbered him this month. The first night was just awful I almost threw up it was such a horrible feeling. He cried / screamed for 30min. Then he was out and slept for 12 hours. That was the only night he cried. So every night after bath we have a bottle then read 2 stories and lay him in his bed and he goes right to sleep. I highly recommend ferbering if you can make it past the first night although if Ben would have screamed the 2nd night I probably would have gave up.

Ben officially eats everything we eat I just put it in his food mill. I did feel a little silly pulling it out at a Mexican restauraunt but Ben really enjoyed his enchiladas :)

Happy 9 Months!

At 9 Months Ben learned to shake his head "NO" while eating. He loves prunes but it is more fun when mommy misses your mouth and they get EVERYWHERE!

So I am just 17 Days late. I have been a bad blogger lately but Ben is not just mobile anymore he is a MANIAC! He is constanstly busy. He is no longer content just sitting and playing with one toy he goes back and forth across the playroom touching and pulling up on every toy he crosses. So to all of you that have bought Ben a toy, book, table etc. It is getting use nothing goes untouched in Ben Parkers way!

There are so many things that I love most about Ben this month. when he is being a Maniac in the playroom and doesn't even know I am in there or just when I think he doesn't care I am reading or singing. He scoots up to me he starts looking up at me and opens his mouth for a big slabbery kiss. And as I am saying Thank You he is already all the way across the room. and acts if it never happened but he will do it several times a day :)

I love that he is so Smiley! He will smile at anyone. I love it at the grocery store when little old ladies talk to him and say how cute he is that he just eats it up and will give them the best smile. And their reaction is priceless and makes me feel like we have done a good deed for the day :)

What I love most about Ben this month is how excited he gets when Da Da gets home. I have always tried to make a Big Deal about Da Da coming home. And it has paid off. We are usually in the playroom when Bo gets home and as soon as Ben sees him he stops what he is doing and scoots super fast to Bo and starts climbing up his legs.

Ok so there are so many things I love about him I could go on and on.

Ben's first fat lip

He lend over to pick up a toy and face planted...those teeth are sharp! It was also his first shed of blood it wasn't much but it was enough for me to ALMOST freak out. He didn't even care and the fat lip was gone by morning! He is already a ruff and tuff BOY.
