Call Vidal Sassoon STAT!

It's true I get my good looks from Dad... but I also inherited his really bad hair cut too!

Ben the Caretaker

I've been preparing for my brother in more ways then one. I often pull up on Mommy's shirt to see the 'Baby' in her tummy (then quickly retract and run away saying 'no no no'). In addition to rubbing [more like slapping] Mommy's tummy, I've been looking after this baby doll here.

As you can tell I'm a natural...

That is until the Doodlebops are on TV and my attention is focused.... well, elsewhere.

What's a suffocation hazard?

And I'm just going to move you to a more comfortable position here...

Ah yes, he just needs a little foot massage....

My Civic Duty

I just wanted to let you know I've done my part, folks. The rest is up for America to decide!!! Let's pray they make the right decision.

Congratulations, Uncle Jon, Esquire!

Uncle Jon, there was no doubt in our mind that you would pass the Virginia Bar on your first attempt, but we are happy for you none the less.

Looks like we'll have help on both sides of the fence now!!! We love you!

Mystery Solved??

So the plot thickens....

• Where in the world did I get that ulcer from?
• Why do I produce a poopie diaper 5 times a day?
• And... Why in the heck have I had a runny nose for the past two weeks?

The great mystery has been solved by a simple blood test.
And the answer is: MILK ALLERGY

Who would have thought that after all my hard work to transition myself to the glorious Whole Milk I would be back on smelly elemental formula? While I love my grilled cheese, yogurt, and such, my diet will be changing directions. At least for now. Explains a lot I'd say!!

All that hard work and investigating had me worn out! Phew, all in a days work folks!

Bed Head

Even babies wake up with bad hair every now and then!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

The past few days of rain have been pretty dreary. But I enjoy watching the thunderstorms from the window upstairs!!

The Apple of Daddy's Eye

I've recently taken an interest in more healthy eating alternatives....

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!

Today is Mommy & Daddy's 3rd wedding anniversary. They celebrated last weekend with a nice trip into the city. Happy Anniversary- keep up the love!

Cookie Monster

Yum, my favorite, cookie time!

Um, on second thought, I don't think Mommy will ever let me eat these cookies again!

Welcome Home!

Ahhh, free at last!! I was discharged this afternoon from the hospital. I'm just glad that I can get back in to my old routine.

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes, visits, and care for Mommy and Daddy while I was in the hospital. The nurses took good care of me. While I'm not 100% fixed just yet, we think I will be feeling like a new man in no time! These are two of the buddies I made while being cooped all up all week.

Big Boy Bath

Now that I'm sitting up I'm taking a big boy's bath! YEEEAAAAH BABY!

Yeah, you like that I've discretely covered up my goods.

"Thank You, Thank You Very Much."

Me and My Balloon

We went to Red Robin for lunch last weekend and Mommy let me hold a balloon. I'd never seen one of them before!!

Yup, that's me and my first balloon!

It was faaaabulous.


20 minutes later....

I was holding on to that darn string for dear life.


And then the check comes......

Wouldn't you know it, I held the balloon the entire lunch.
Oh, the simple things in life.... don't you just love 'em?

Thank You for the Support!

I wanted to thank everyone who came out and voted for me in the Hot 99.5 Baby Idol contest. The competition was fierce, with over 1,900 cutie babies!!! Sadly, I did not make the first cut. I may not have made the top 50 but I'm #1 one in Mommy's heart and that's all that matters! :-)

Vote for Ben!!!

No, I'm not running for president, but Mommy did me the pleasure of entering my photo in to the HOT 99.5 Baby Idol competition (...oh, I am so embarrassed).

Please vote for me by clicking here: VOTE FOR BEN

You're looking for this picture of me below:

Tell your friends and your family too!! Voting continues each week as they narrow down the competition. The deadline for this week is Friday at NOON.

The competition is tough this year, I swear!! Look for my buddy Owen from Ashburn in the "O" section and you can vote for him too!! I mean, we're no David Archuleta folks, but we've got talents too!!!

Thank you!! :-)

I Love My Fans!!

Thank you to all my loyal fans that visit my blog regularly!! Thanks to you I'm gaining more fame each and every day!!

Back to Buds

The turtle and I have reconciled our differences and made amends. Yay!!

Do You See What I See?

I love looking at myself in the mirror! With these great looks who could blame me?!

Although I have to admit, it's a bit confusing.

Ben Welcomes Pope Benedict XVI

I would like to extend a big welcome to Pope Benedict the 16th!

Mommy was fortunate enough to attend mass today at Nationals Stadium with his Holiness! Below is one of the pictures she captured.

Next time that guy comes to town I'm going to see about getting a ride in his popemobile. It's only fair you know.

Can't Take the Heat!

Yesterday it was beautiful! I'd have to say the temperature crept up into the 80's! Well the warmer weather outside meant a warmer temps inside. Unfortunately our AC wasn't working as it should. The good news is I got to play in my skivvies!
