What's New in the World of Ben...

His personality is starting to peek out little by little...

Play Time Good...

Red Hat, Not so good...

Oopsie....

Ben got a little excited in his Swing today. (Sorry to embarass you Ben but this is too precious for words...)

Dad Dressing Ben...

Coronado Over Labor Day Weekend

One of Jeff's best college friends got married over Labor Day Weekend in San Diego so we decided to take a mini-vacation to San Diego & Cornado to see family & friends.

We stayed at Grandma Mae's house in Coronado and Ben got to try "swimming" for the first time... the jury is still out if he liked it or not... but his Dad sure had fun experimenting!

Grandma Mae had the magic touch with Ben. Whether it was feeding, burping or playing with him, Ben had a smile from ear to ear for his Great Grandma. He also got to meet his great Aunt & Uncle, Kevin & Nancy, who also had the magic touch (there is a job opening for 'baby whisperer' in Monterey if any of them decide they want a change of scenery).

At Tim's wedding, Jeff & his other good college friend, Scott, were groom's men & had a great time!

(Notice the matching outfits... aww, how cute?!)

While in San Diego, we got to meet up with Daphne & Tony Skogen who got to meet Ben for the first time. This was also Ben's first time in a bar... well, it was a sports bar and a Saturday afternoon so not really a bar...

Last but not least, we saw our good friend Niamh who just moved from Monterey to Coronado. Her sons Conor (pictured) and Brody played with Ben. Next time we are in Coronado, it will be nice to see Niamh's hubby, Wes, who is stationed in Bahrain right now.

What a fun vacation!

Weekend Update with Ben Bolger

This was our first weekend, since Ben's arrival, without any plans or visitors or any agenda. We did alot of nothing... it was wonderful. From the pics, you can see a common theme... Ben loves to sleep... in our bed, in his room, on the rec trail, it really doesn't matter where :)

Have a great week!

Ben's 1st Bath

Bath time wouldn't normally be that big of a deal but it was his 1st bath so it was serious picture-time in the Bolger house-hold... and... Ben does like bath time, wahoo!

Ben Meets His Great Grandpa!

Happy 84th Birthday, Dumb Dumb! Ben got to meet his great Dumb Dumb and great Mussy and more Aunts and Uncles on Sunday at Dumb Dumb's 84th birthday party. Even though it was a bit hot and he wasn't used to that kind of heat, Ben had a great time meeting his family and celebrating a fabulous birthday for his great grandpa!
