Happy Christmas Eve!

We had a pretty quiet day today, but Benjamin kept himself quite busy today by continually flipping over from his back to his tummy. It actually started last night, when he was trying to go to bed. His new trick kept him awake, though! Finally he went to bed for 7 hours (not bad!) and he woke us up this morning by crying out on account of him flipping over!

After Benjamin went to bed, we watched the Notre Dame vs. Hawaii bowl game and it was great to see some of the sights we had seen on our honeymoon and it was even better to see Notre Dame win big. Then Shelley got into town and came over with Vicki and hung out for a couple of hours.

Here are some pictures of Benjamin after he had flipped himself in his crib:

Peeking out through his crib.

Examining the side of his crib, with his tongue sticking out and curled up (a new trick Daddy taught him).

He's such a big boy!

Sticking his hand through the side of the crib. He sometimes got his foot stuck, which would not make him happy.
