Poor Molly

Ben is feeling much better. So much so that I was able to hang out at the bookstore with my friend Cheryl for a couple of hours sans baby.

Ben has also decided that his surroundings are interesting enough to explore. In the past, people and objects have held his attention and he whined while his little body scooted itself across the floor. But today he happily crawled (one knee down, one knee up) around the living room "fetching" Molly's tennis balls. Molly (as you can see in the following pictures) was not at all pleased. In Molly's mind this means that Ben gets ALL of the love, ALL of his toys, and ALL of her toys. At least he throws bits of cracker to her from his high chair.
