Wow, it seems so little time has passed, but Benjamin is already 17! (Days)
Hilary got to noodle around with the camera and came up with some nice pictures she said I could share with you. Benjamin seems very pleased by the tinkling sound of music coming from this blue rocking horse being ridden by a fuzzy bear. So soft, no tiny infant-choking parts, lead-free, no PCBs or bifurcated phenol-infused flummoxes—in a word, safe. The music is, well, just a bit ethno-centric, what with its being composed by a German-born Austrian composer who also happened to be a white guy. We can hope that at some time in Benjamin’s life Brahms’ Lullaby gains acceptance internationally and can be played in mixed company. Ben will grow up in a challenging world, so let’s let him have some peace for now.Photos: Hilary Hurley Painter

He looks so alert! And he looks peaceful, too.
I don't understand how time flies so fast when we want it to last longer, like when we are appreciating Ben's babyhood, and that it slows down when we want it to pass quickly, like when I am at the Dentist.
Could you possibly explain this to me?
Susan, time drags when he's crying at 2am! The cute moments are gone all too soon, however. I hope he can meet all of his Aussie relatives while he's still adorable!
Hilary, that would be absolutely wonderful!!
