Great pictures of Ben and his best friend Cormick.

The Fam

Just got this picture of the whole family... it was taken back in June. I think it's the first one of all three of us.

Ellen/Ben pics

I realized yesterday that we didn't have any pictures of Ben and me... so we took a few today, and here they are.

2 months old

Ben's doing great. He has become a much happier baby, which makes us happier. He is smiling and laughing a lot now. He loves to go on walks in the stroller or baby bjorn, and I've started taking him running with me in the jogging stroller. He likes to play on his back... but is NOT a fan of being on his stomach. At all. His favorite thing ever is the new bouncer chair we have (see pictures). It occupies him for long amounts of time. In the past month we've mostly just been hanging out in Missoula, but we've also made a couple of trips to Great Falls to see grandparents Duane and Mary.

He got his first shots at the beginning of August. He did not enjoy them. His weight on that date (August 4) was 12 lbs, 13 oz.

Peter and I ran in the Missoula Marathon in July. We formed a relay team with our friends Brittnie and Dan (who also have a new baby, Cormick... see picture of the two boys above!). Since Brittnie and I had just started running again, we thought it would be fun. The husbands had fun too, even though we did have to drag them into it. Our team took last out of all the relay teams, but we had a good time anyway, and we were impressed that we were able to finish. :)

In two weeks school will start, which means day care will start! Should be interesting...
