visit with grandma and grandpa

This weekend we traveled to Spencer, New York to grandma Lena and grandpa Sasha's house.  My aunt Emily was having her annual 0's and 5's party for our extended family in nearby Nichols, New York on Saturday.  We were excited to attend and see many family members we usually only get to see once a year.  We drove there Friday night after work so Bennett could sleep most of the ride and it would not disrupt his schedule.  It worked out great except that we were exhausted.  Good thing grandma was able to play with Bennett early in the morning the next day and let us catch up on our sleep.  The party was great.  Bennett did pretty good.  He only lost it a couple of times when he was feeling crowded.  That's normal for a little nugget his age.

We got to relax a bit on Sunday before driving home Sunday night.  Bennett enjoyed playing with all his toys in his pajamas.

Later in the day we practiced our grabbing and sitting.  Bennett is starting to do really well on his own. He can not sit himself up yet but he can support himself for a while without help once we sit him up.  He is able to hold his toys too.  He loves to chew and drool on everything.
