January was a busy month for us! Ben traveled out of the state for the first time when he went to Virginia to see Uncle Erik and Aunt Carissa for the weekend. It was a nice weekend, but Ben was sick. He missed 3 days of daycare the following week and had his first double ear infection. Poor little guy was very sick! Ben started laughing aloud this month as well. He laughs pretty easily when tickled or if you tell him that his feet are "P-U, Stinky Stinky!" He especially finds Steve hilarious. We are having a blast with Benny as he is getting older. He rolled over for the first time about 30 minutes before the Steelers won the Superbowl. We took that as a good omen. ;) It is so fun to see what his personality is like as it comes out more and more each day.
