Laundry mix up

Looks like a few whites got mixed into my dark wash pile.

16 months

The monthly photo this month is marked by a first... The first time
Bennett climbed up into this chair!

He's very proud.

A first for both of us. Go Bears!

Today I took Bennett to Bears training camp and met up with one of my
oldest and dearest friends, Danny Anderson, and his son Jack. So much
fun, and awesome to have our kids play together. After Dan saw the
picture... "Man Pete... we are getting old." LOL

I can fix it dada!

At the zoo last weekend. He sure likes his independence!

At the zoo

Bennett plays on dad's shoulders during a beautiful day at the zoo.
Bennett knows the sounds for monkey, cow and bear! And got to see dad
feed a cow - I think he was a little overwhelmed by how big they are.

I like dirt :)

Best buds

Day at Burger Fest

The fabulous Baker boys

Bennett spends some time with Uncle Mikey and G'pa. And in true Baker
style, sampled his first fried clams, lobster and key lime pie.

So this happened today!

Im so darn tall and strong, to heck with facing backwards! That's for babies.

Bennett's new trick

Sorry folks! Something happened. Should work now.

Cubs Win!!! Against our other family team, RedSox.

Biked to the game with our new bike seat for Bennett. In and out super
easy. Bennett had a great time with hotdogs and people watching. So
fun!!!

Big Cousin David. So fun!!!

Bennett's Favorite Hat

A baseball basket has become Bennett's favorite hat. What started
around the house as a joke has become his go-to apparel item. May this
be the first of many questionable fashion choices!

If I have to work...

...at least I can have this terraced park directly across from my
office building. I don't know how it took me three weeks to find it,
but I am happy that I did! It's going to be my new favorite place for
lunch.

Heat wave

Playing in the pool with our buddy Tanner. Don't worry, I'm slathered in SPF!

Another first

Bennett's first baseball game. Cubs v Red Sox!

14 months

Time keeps on ticking, ticking, ticking into the future...

New friends

Mommy has a new job, and Bennett has a new playmate. Our friend Laurie
is now watching Bennett during the day and her 18-month old son,
Tanner is showing B the ropes.

Let's go ride a bike

Today, we fastened up the child seat and took a lovely ride to the
lake front. At first, Bennett wasn't a fan of the helmet, but he loved
the seat and enjoyed the view from the back of dads bike. It was a
beautiful day and a wonderful outing. Hopefully, there will be plenty
more photos from other rides.

Bennett's first bike trip! Lake front, then the playground. So fun!!
