Had a pretty busy weekend...

Friday, I came home from Minneapolis. I spent a ton of quality time with Ben, I'd missed him so much! It's incredible how much they grow after just a week.

Saturday Ben actually started crawling for the first time. We were so happy! He was so adorable, working so hard to put one hand in front of the other and scooting his legs forward, trying not to tip over or fall on his face. So now there's nothing to stop him...I've really got to get out and buy some baby proofing stuff, especially some gates to keep him away from the television cords and stuff. He's already got the hang of trying to climb things, so the fact that he's crawling now means that he can crawl to things and try to climb them.

Saturday night we hung out at Melanie's to watch the Pacquiao/Morales fight. The several fights that took place before them were pretty good - they went for all the rounds and were pretty exciting. Even though the broadcast started at 8, the main event didn't happen until about 10pm. It was a pretty exciting fight. Pacquiao was really landing some awesome punches. Then Morales fell down, looked at his father in the corner, and didn't bother to get up. The fight was over after a mere 15 minutes! How anticlimactic!

Sunday we headed out to my cousin's house in Batavia. I thought it would take forever to get there, but it actually wasn't too bad of a drive. She made us this great spread of food, and her daughters were so entertaining! It was a good time, watching the Bears game (which was a bit boring) and just watching the kids entertain themselves. Man, there are times I wish I had carpeting in the main room of my house!

Afterwards we went to Chuck E Cheese for another birthday. I haven't been there in ages, and it was PACKED! That place is pretty crazy. There wasn't much for Ben to do there except ride a couple of the motorized rides, but he seemed to enjoy it. I'm sure I'll post a pic of him riding eventually. He gets so serious when he's out in public. He's not the happy bubbly little Benbooger that he is at home. He's all business!

Anyway, it's late/early, I guess I should get a couple hours of sleep before work tomorrow!
