Raspberries

We are headed to the doctors today so we will see how much Ben weighs as well as talk about what doctors we should be setting up in Cincinnati. Ben and I went for a walk today to try and go to story time at a children's book store in the area. Apparently you needed to sign up for it ahead of time and and, for being a children's book store, the girl working there was quite rude in informing me of this. So, no story time but we did get a walk out of it. Its supposed to be warmer today (low 60's) but its overcast and dreary. It sort of feels like it has been dreary since we got here. I'm hoping this weather eventually passes because it doesn't do much for people's moods.

My mom and dad have started to use Skype with us. For those who don't know, its an internet video chat that is free provided you are calling another Skype user. This has been great because they get to see Ben in person, almost daily. Ben doesn't quite get it but it doesn't seem to bother him and once he is a bit older I think he will understand what is going on.

The latest trick in our household is Ben has started to try and blow raspberries. Its pretty hysterical to watch because he knows he is supposed to purse his lips and puff out his cheeks to try and blow air. But he can't quite get letting the little bit of air though his lips to make the noise. Instead, he sits with puffed cheeks and his lips clamped shut and blowing as hard as he can...but nothing happens! He practices almost constantly even during feedings and with his pacifier in.

I hope it goes well getting set up with all the different docs, and that you find ones who are good to work with! Hooray for the milestones! And speaking of Sophie, I just saw her for the first time today when a friend came over with her baby. So that means that Bonners Ferry is one notch above Cincinnati in terms of yuppiness, right? :)
