We awoke the past 2 days with the sun shining in through our bedroom window. That hasn't happened since like October or something... Today's high was probably 75 or so. We pulled some weeds, did some other yard cleanup then got air in the tires on our bikes and the tires on Ben's Burley Bike Trailer. We got all set up to go to the nearby Champoeg State Park with the bikes on a hitch rack on the Jeep and the Burley in the back. We just had to stop at Freddies to get a helmet for Ben. They didn't have one small enough for Ben, and there are not a whole lot of other shopping options in our little town, so we ended up doing our trial run of bike/ Burley thru the streets of Newberg where we could go slow. Ben took it all in stride. He was mostly just chilling, and smiling, chewing one of the straps, and waving at me when I rode next to him in the trailer.
A short one of Ben and his favorite purple ball.
This may be my new fav pic of Ben.
On the sleeping front, Ben is back to the old routine. I guess it was just a week-long bump in his usually pretty easy sleep pattern. He now has it back down to about 1-2 minutes of fussing, then fast asleep.
Oh - and 2 new things from Friday. Ben has started to wave (although just a hand in the air, no motion involved, but he definitely does it to say "Hi"). Also, he has now started progressing toward speaking a bit more. He has been repeating (very quietly - like a whisper) the 'c' as in car sound along with 'd' and 't' - they all kind of mingle together, but this is the first time we have heard anything that could lead to a first word. Still no 'm' or 'b' which I think are typical first sounds... (maybe it'll be dada before mama - I'll need to work hard on those 'm's!)
