Introducing Snitch!

We have had such a busy week this week! We've gone places, visited friends, met new friends, witnessed a baptism (just last night), laughed, cried, climbed up the stairs, crawled down the stairs (head first), had some boo-boos, growled like a monster (Ben's new favorite trick), and so forth ...

Right now, Benjamin and I would like to introduce to you his new pet, Snitch the Goldfish.



(I just pulled chewing gum out of Ben's mouth ...)

Anyway, he's a good-looking fish, and on his side he has a few orange scales that are in the shape of a heart. He is named after the Golden Snitch in Harry Potter, because, yes, I am that big of a nerd. You caught me!



Ben enjoys looking at him when we pass the room that he stays in. (Ben just took a pretty rough tumble, but got up like nothing happened - again.) I enjoy the fish as well and think it is neat that Ben gets to have a pet of his very own. It's also a prop for Bible Class, but that is beside the point.

Let's just hope mommy can keep it alive for at LEAST 13 weeks (depending on when I start the class).

In other news, you may or may not have noticed (or found out), we now have a domain! www.BringingUpBenjamin.com wasn't taken, can you believe it? I was so nervous that it would be taken! But, it's mine! And I am so excited! I have wanted this for a time now, and we were finally able to fork out the $10.

Just a couple more days until Benjamin turns 8 months old, so I am going to save some pictures for that post! I've got a lot of cute ones that I am dying to share, but you know ... can't use them all up!

Well, if you couldn't already tell, things are already getting a little busy around here, and Benjamin is about to switch off my internet - so! One last picture:
