***UPDATED AGAIN*** I saw Ben walk! He walked all the way across the kitchen in the Frankenstein type waddle, too cute :)

We got “pity meat” from the friend Andy hunts with. So now there’s ground, a few roasts and steaks in the freezer. Yay!

***UPDATED*** Andy went hunting this morning and saw some deer but nothing would have been a good shot. So we remain bambi-less this year.

And I also feel like I need to share Ben’s new word. When he was a newborn we swaddled him and started calling him “sausage” because he looked like a little stuffed sausage. Well, the nickname stuck and unfortunately it’s his new word. He goes around saying “saw-seg, saw-seg, saw-seg” :)

Ben walked on his own this week! I haven’t seen it yet, he did it for Andy one night while I was getting a hair cut. And then he did it again while I was downstairs doing laundry. And again for Andy when I was down working in the office…you get the picture ;-) Still waiting to see it!

I really want an iphone but can’t justify the cost of the data plan. I don’t really “go” anywhere so I don’t really need the phone, I’m usually always near my computer. Still, major cool factor!

I made yogurt in the crockpot this week! Ben eats it like crazy and it’s an expensive $3.50/carton for the whole milk stuff, so I found a recipe online. It turned out alright, a little runny. It was also a little tart, but mixed with fruit, Ben didn’t seem to mind. I used this recipe. I might try it again with a different recipe.

Hunting season is almost done for this year. Andy’s going out one last time tomorrow for late bow, hope he gets something. Poor guy hasn’t had a ton of luck!

Ben plays so well by himself while I’m making dinner!
