Long time

Sadly I have neglected this blog for entirely toooo long! So many exciting things have happened in the past EIGHT months!!! Holy crapola! Ben will be eight months on Saturday! He's getting old. We are on the look out for gray hairs. I will be THIRTY tomorrow. I guess, being 30 and all, I should stop procrastinating :) I will start with this blog.
Since the last blog, sharing the birth of Benjamin Thomas Everroad, he has made many great strides.

He posed like a frog on his daddy.

He was visited, all the way from Italy, by Mama di Patrizia and her sister Lella and friend Sarah!
Grandma Ronda came to visit from Nebraska! She took good care of him while I was sick.

He made his debut on the boardwalk in PB.
Grandma Kathy also came to visit from Nebraska!
He made one of his first smiles!

He was paid a visit by Grandpa Tom, Grandma Jayne, Aunt Marion and Uncle (to be named) in Jayne's belly!

He visited the fishies at Sea World!


He started holding his head up like a champ!

He discovered his love of the beach and the ocean!

He learned how to sit up all by himself!He played at the park on the swings!

I could go on and on and on! But I better wrap it up. He is now a few days from eight months and he can laugh, cry, say momma and dadda, he can holla at me, crawl, go from laying on his belly to sitting up all by himself, today he pulled himself up to standing with the support of his toy piano, he has two bottom teeth and the two top teeth are starting to pop out, he has lots of beautiful hair and is just an amazing baby boy. I never knew what to expect or what to think about the whole "mom" thing. Now that it is here I can not remember any other way. I can not imagine my life any other way. What did I do with my time before he came along? I love being his mom and am looking forward to each new day with him, each new discovery and accomplishment, all the happy times and sad, EVERYTHING! Ever since that day back in May of 2007, when I discovered Benjamin was growing in my belly, my life changed in the most amazing way possible. A new love was introduced to me that I never imagined was in me.
