A visit with Grandma and Grandad

We took a trip to Georgia this weekend to visit with grandma and grandad and to see great-grandma too. It's always so nice to stay in Steve and Cindy's house - it's very peaceful and everyone sleeps well there. Ben ate like a little piglet there, which was awesome! He's still having problems with the skin under the helmet getting irritated and breaking out, so sometimes he's in the helmet and sometimes he's not these days.

Ben thought grandad was a real hoot! Will had a lot of fun with him too; grandad has lots of cool things like an electric train and a drumset. Will is really obsessed with grandad's train. He pretends to call him on the phone and asks him if he's playing with it. Before we left we told Will we were going to see grandma and grandad and Will says "See grandma and grandad and Katrina and TRAIN!".

Grandma is good for all kinds of hugs and kisses, so Ben was a happy camper. He's the snuggliest little baby you ever met. Will hated cuddling and mostly still does - Ben will pretty much sit with you all day. Grandma also makes yummmmy scalloped potatoes that Ben seemed to enjoy gumming, as well as baclk eyed peas. He got to taste all kinds of new things this weekend.

We had a nice visit with Ma too. Will didn't want to leave! Ma has saved a lot of really cool old toys like original Legos (the really small ones) and real metal Tonka trucks. Will usually naps at 1 and when we tried to get him to leave at 2:30 or so he was laying down on his belly on the carpet trying to stay awake so he could play with the tonka trucks some more.
