The Remedy Is The Experience

I was tagged by my friend Amelia to post a picture and the story behind it.  
Here are the rules:
1. Open your first photo folder
2. Scroll to the 10th photo
3. Post the photo and the story behind it
4. Tag 5 or more people

Well, there's not much of a story, but here it is:

It's just Benji in the bathtub.  This was taken in April 2009.  Such a funny kid.





It was my first folder because it was April (I label pictures in each month).  I think I'll go to the first chronological folder and show that one . . . for funsies.

This is a cute picture of my niece Ella and my sister Rachael, circa 2006.  She has changed so much!  She was the only grandchild/daughter/niece for several years (until the baby explosion chez nous), so I took a lot of pictures of her.  My Picasa folders say that I have 522 pictures of her.  How many do I have of Benji?  More than 3,300.  Yikes.

Well, it's about time I post some new pics of my Benji.

Same bathtub, same boy, but a little older and a little more dirty.  I think it was pasta.



Okay, since we are on bath pictures, here's another funny one.

It's a chocolate milk goatee.  Good times.  Those are the fun foam letters in the bath with him.  Auntie Becca gave them to Benji for his birthday, and he loves them.  He can recognize a couple of them (A, E, sometimes B and O), but they are fun . . . and apparently very tasty, too.


Here's a funny one of the boy at Gardner Village.  I love the diaper poking out and the belly hangover.  Too cute.

And, for good measure, here's an actual cute one.  Yes, that is snot, and he's cuddling his sippy cup.  He's just getting over a pretty nasty cold, and the boy needs his beverage!

Okay, one more and I'll go to bed.

I love this boy.  I love his big meat-hook man-hands, his sweet little face and his eyes.  Such a handsome guy!

Oh yeah--I have to tag people.  Well, if anyone reads my blog anymore, I'll tag: Amanda H., Shelly B., Shauna Z., Arlynda J. and Sharon B.  And the fam of course--it's pretty fun.  And it makes you post. :o)
