Thursday, February 15, 2007. My wonderful husband MADE me a Valentines card. I *heart* Mike. Is he the best or what! Posted by Mrs. Merriman at 11:18 AM. Links to this post. Ben and I went to the store yesterday. he saw the Curious George bubble bath, pointed at it and said "Ooh! Mommy translation = GEORGE! Well, sort of. Still pretty cool that he is associating things with stuff from home. He also can point out a cat, dog and cow in his books! Dogs on the street he points at and says "Da! Can he fix it?

Sunday, December 17, 2006. For a Christmas gift, I have been going through old photos like crazy and having so many wonderful memories come back to me! I am amazed at how much Ben looks like me is some of them. I like these shots. I was about three, and my sister obviously very new! I can only imagine what I was thinking. "Mom! What do I do? Me (about 4) and Melissa (about 1). My mom at the wedding to my dad. My mom pregnant with my sister. Posted by Mrs. Merriman at 10:03 AM. Links to this post. Mike to...

Tuesday, November 28, 2006. Yesterday I bundled Ben up quickly to go out in the snow and meet up with my friend Mina and her son Max. Had to get him in his snowsuit at least once before he grows out of it! It was so cold though, I think we were home after just 15 minutes! Posted by Mrs. Merriman at 9:29 AM. Links to this post. I had won the pedicure through Kidswap.ca from the weightloss challenge July to September (thanks Shelly! He was pretty tired, but happy to see us. It sure felt nice to have hi...

The Merriman's: March 2007
http://themerrimans.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 24, 2007. I year, 5 months, 2 weeks and 6 days. Some words he can say (and what we can mostly understand! Car everything is a car. Trucks, plane, bikes, diggers, dozers. he LOVES them all. And the best part is everytime he sees one, it is just as special as the first one! Ball (almost an equal love to a car). Bath ("ba". the simple word and/or the sound of running water in the tub makes him RUN to the bathroom and practically strip down to his diaper). Dog (comes out "da" sometimes).

Wednesday, October 25, 2006. Teething. can we please fast forward this stage? It has been a rough couple weeks, but I think Ben is doing better. The last while he hasn't slept through the night, which is hard to adjust to. We are lucky that he is such a great napper. But I think he might be back on track. He is also just so whiney, and more cling-y than normal. Doesn't want to sit with us, or play. Has been rough at daycare, too. Hang in there, Rebecca! Here are some funny pics of our hambone. Not very o...

Tuesday, September 26, 2006. Weekend at Granny and Grampas. This past weekend we took the ferry over to Mike's parents house in Lake Cowichan. Mom just retired and it was an open house that weekend. Unfortunately Ben got sick a day or so before and we had to go to the doctors on Friday. He seems to be a lot better, though. Thanks Debs for coming all that way for a visit! Loved seeing your family :D. Posted by Mrs. Merriman at 2:37 PM. Links to this post. Thursday, September 21, 2006. Links to this post.
