my 1st new years eve

Mom is working on photos.
I think that they put me and quinn to bed around 9pm. They made a mistake by putting us in the same room. What mistake, you say? They actually thought that we would just sleep away the start of 2010. Wrong. We discussed it and decided that we would both start crying around 11:45pm. so, we did. We figured that our parents would want to be with everyone else downstairs - we were right- so, we got to go with them. Man, there is a lot of kissing done after everyone says happy new year. It was fun, but really exhausting. Thank goodness that i take 2 naps a day, not sure that I would have made it through otherwise.
Anyway, happy new year!
Love, Ben

hey...

It's been a long time without pictures. I'm guessing this is why...
I was sick for a long time, 3 1/2 weeks. My mom took some video of me when I was sick, maybe that will make the blog. It started with a cold and my 1st earache, then I got a high fever for a couple of days. As soon as the fever stopped, a rash appeared all over my body and inside my mouth. Good news is that it didn't itch. Bad news is that it blistered on my hands, feet and inside my mouth. On our 3rd trip to the doctor, it was diagnosed as hand, foot and mouth. Makes sense! After the last visit, I came home and was even worse - not eating or drinking for 3 days, totally lethargic and quiet. All of you who know me, know that that is very UNusual for me! I love eating, drinking, yelling, crawling and playing. I'm really not much of a cuddler, but for about 2 or 3 days that's all I wanted to do and did. I even made it back into mom and dad's bed for those 3 nights. It was glorious! Oh, and I managed to score some popsicles too! Yum.
Anyway, now I'm better and mom is on break. I'm guessing there will be a lot of photos in my future. Until then...
love, Ben
