Ben at dinner tonight in all his glory. Hair courtesy of banana mush (you can't really tell in the picture, but it's all slicked back and stuck to his head), and that's either a sweet potato or a peach hanging off his nose. Mmmmm!
We have turned an exciting corner at the Shier household. Since about mid-December, we have been in a transitional stage with Ben. He was only napping once a day when he really needed two, so he was therefore Mr. Crankypants most of the time and Mom was getting really frustrated. Anyways, we solved the problem a couple of weeks ago. Ben is now taking one nap a day (at the same time as Max - woo-hoo!), but we started putting him to bed really early to compensate for the sleep. He is now such a happy camper- it's wonderful! This also means that we have a newfound freedom in our days, so we have jumped in to the toddler scene. We have been having fun doing storytime and music class and all of the other fun things for little tots. Ben is now walking about 4 or 5 steps at a time and then crashing when he remembers that this is a new skill and panics. So close! Max is also very into the cooking channel lately. He gets up from his nap and the first words out of his mouth are "I want to watch cooking." His favorite is Giada.On the home-project scene, we will be done with the basement tomorrow. Yee-ha! Our contractor finished all his work a week or so ago. Our carpet-installer got all the tack-strips and padding down today. The carpet is cut and in the basement and will be installed tomorrow. In the meantime, the house is a balmy 74 degrees to help the carpet stretch. Luckily, we have two furnaces, so the upstairs (where we sleep) is bearable. I will take some pics soon. We are so excited for it!!
Anyways, I don't want to type anymore until I get some more pictures. I know the words can get boring and the pictures are more entertaining.

I thought that picture was right after Ben sneezed really badly.
