13+ months old...

... and such a big boy! Benjam had us thinking he was going to be walking any time, but after a week or so of taking lots of steps, he's decided to stick with crawling for now. Guess he's more interested in getting to where he wants to go than in standing up and walking there! He's got 6 teeth and really looks like a little boy. Here's a picture of him just about to pick up the pumpkin that Grampie Dwyer grew for him (he did manage to pick it up and roll it off the step, much to his delight). And another photo that shows his big blue eyes!
Ben gets his Mumma around this week, but starting on Monday she's back to fieldwork four days/week. Lucky for us we have beautiful weather this week.
