Benjamin update

He turned a year old on November 1st!

A few weeks before his birthday he started walking. He rarely crawls anymore, except when climbing.

He says a few words: mama, dada, hi, and yeah

He nods his heads yes and no but I'm not sure if he entirely understands what he is agreeing to.

His sleeping is somewhat better. Not great but better.

Des and Ben play together a lot. They are starting to fight over toys too.

TECH SAAVY GRANDPARENTS

TECH SAAVY GRANDPARENTS

Posted by Arden Wallace

I logged onto http://www.directstartv.com/ and upgraded our television package. I decided that we needed to upgrade our package after my grandparents ( who are eighty) came to visit and mentioned that we were really behind on technology and the times. My Grandpa just couldn’t believe that we had flat screen televisions and no HD service. He went on and on about how much they enjoyed theirs. He showed me all of the interesting things that our televisions would do. I was surprised that he knew how to work all of the electronics. He took his jump drive and plugged it into our television. Immediately, with the touch of a few buttons, the television started a slide show of all of the pictures that he had on his memory card. I have to say that I was a bit embarrassed that my grandparents were so tech saavy. I have yet to acquire the techy skills that I need I guess. A week after they left, I got “Computers for Dummies” in the mail, compliments of my grandparents. I am going to learn about these things before their next visit, that’s for sure!
