How Time Flies

See that photo on the right?  That was me about six months ago, back when I was a baby.  Those days are LONG gone.

These days I am sitting up by myself, rolling around on the ground, displaying a vocal range that bespeaks a latent musician, and eating solid food, albeit no steak for the time being.  Not bad, eh?

So basically what I'm saying is, "Happy Half Birthday to me!!!"

Independence

For these past months I have had to rely upon others to fulfill my needs.  Got a poopy diaper?  Cry.  Get changed.  Feelin' peckish?  Cry.  Get fed.  Getting sick of lying in my bed?  Cry.  Get picked up.  What a drag!

Now, I am happy to report, everything has changed, or at least started to.  I have taken up the bottle!  Er, I'm able to hold the bottle.  Look and be amazed!

I am so pleased by this development that I will be trying to assert my independence in other ways in the near future.  Yes, that's right, I will be rooting for the Bears on Sunday.  Feel the burn.

Vroom vroom

I'm rolling.  Yes, that's right.  I am mobile.  Trying not to freak anyone out by going too fast or too far, but it won't be long.  I'm just warming up my engines.

Look out world.  Here comes Benjamin!

Baby Got Verse

Some call me fat.
(I think I'm big-boned.)
Some call me handsome.
(Perhaps I'll be cloned?)
Some point and laugh
As they point at my butt.
(I just shrug my shoulders
And give them a "What?!?")
