OK so I spoke too soon...and Benjamin walks a fine line

So much for sleeping through the night. I guess tooth #2 must be ready to make its appearance. Benjamin was up every half hour from 2:30am until 6am when George gave him a bottle. Two 45-minute naps later, it's 4pm and I am brain-dead, toasted, fried, done. And still have three hours alone with them until George gets home. But I'll deal-George helped so much around the house last night and this morning it was a blessing.

And - Benjamin is almost taking steps alone! He's standing alone all the time now - I think he got over the fear of "where am I and why am I alone?" and now he likes it. I think he took a step alone when I left him standing by himself, but I'm not sure it counts. Could be the only way he could think to land on his bottom again!

Off to try to make shepherd's pie for dinner while Benjamin takes short nap #3. This should be interesting since I feel at this point in the day that I've had a lobotomy....
