Benito has been enjoying his Christmas gifts and growing more cute every day. He is also becoming more of a pleasure to be around all the time. Although each day is different (and some are full of never-ending fussing), I feel like I'm finally able to predict most of what he wants and keep him pretty happy, which keeps me very happy, indeed. :)

Speaking of keeping me happy, a few days ago I decided to completely re-arrange the furniture in the living room and the study. Ever since he was a puppy, The Colonel has used the living room couch as a launching pad to try to get out the window and eat the mail man. He leapt about, half-on and half-off of the back of the couch making a lot of noise and stomping on everything. It was bad enough when I was pregnant, but now that Ben spends a lot of time with me on the couch, I was worried the dog would inadvertently stomp the baby. So I moved around most of the living room furniture, and now I feel a lot safer when mail-time rolls around every afternoon. (see video below)
I decided to rearrange the study when I realized as soon as Benito can crawl he was going to crawl right into the cat box (which was behind the door in the study). So I moved the cat box into the bathroom (crowding that up, sadly), and rearranged the book shelves and library table in the study. Now it is a lot more open and once I've rented a carpet steamer I won't feel grossed out when Ben starts crawling on it.
He's probably still a ways off of crawling, but he does enjoy doing a slow-break-dancing move where he rotates himself around and often ends up off of the tummy time mat.
