Let's Give You Something To Talk About...

Lately a few of my adoring grandmas have pointed out to me that Mom hasn't posted anything on here in a LONNNNG time, so I thought I would take a break from being super cute to allow her to do so. I've grown out of that "baby" stage, and now I can do all sorts of grown up things! Here's what I've been up to lately...

I can roll over...

And...

My favorite hat finally fits me too!!!

But it'll be a long time before I can wear Daddy's...

Now, I hope you've had your fill of me for today, because right now I need my Mom back to come and feed me. It's hard to keep up with a growing boy like me! Stay tuned, we'll have pictures of my trip to Camp Pioneer up really soon...well, at least sooner than a month from now! =0)

Love and Busy, Busy Bees,

My First Overalls...

My Granny Cindy sent me this outfit, and I'm big enough to fill it out now. This is my very first pair of overalls, complete with my buddy Nemo on them!!! Mom had to take some pictures of me because she thought that I was sooo cute, but first I had to show her how to work the camera...



She got the hang of it pretty fast...




Then I wanted to try my favorite hat on, but it was still too big...




But then I got tired, and I'm teething, so it was time to take a nap!

Our St Patty's Day Pic-A-Nic!!!

We Ross's really love St. Patrick's Day, so we went to the park and had a pic-a-nic to celebrate! Once again, I pretty much slept through it, but what do you expect? It's not like I could eat fried chicken or dance an Irish jig!

The Ross Family On Parade

I went for my first stroller ride! Well, actually I just slept through it, but Mom, Dad, Nana, and Paw Paw sure enjoyed themselves!

You Asked For It...

I've been hearing you guys ask Mommy about when she's going to put some more pictures up so I decided to take a break from eating/sleeping/pooping so that she could do just that...Hope you guys enjoy!!!

(And if you want to pause a picture...just click your mouse on the picture you want to look at!)

My Meme & Me!!!

I've been visiting my Nana and my Meme quite a bit lately. I think that they are probably my biggest fans because the whole time they are around me they just look and look until they just can't look anymore...and then they look some more! My Great Uncle Collin came in this week and we got to spend some time together. I tried telling him about what life is like for me, but all that came out was aggg-oooo-bababa! Oh well, sooner or later I'll get the speech thing down. I know Mom's all about me learning to talk so that I can tell her what I want at 4 AM!!!

My doctor says that I'm big and healthy...I weigh ten pounds and three ounces now. That's almost a pound and a half more than when I was born. I'm trying to bulk up for summertime! =0)

Everything else is going fine and dandy, I even let Mom sleep from time to time. She's very thankful when I let her do that! =0)

Until next time,

About A Boy...

I've been really busy the past couple of weeks teaching Mommy and Daddy how to take care of me, but I thought I would take a time out and tell you guys about a day in the life of me...

There's this bath thing that I'm not exactly wild about...

But then I get to put on my comfy robe and blue bunny slippers...

Next comes my favorite part...dinner time!!!

And then I kick back & relax in my swing to some Jason Mraz...

This thing you guys call life isn't too shabby...tune in next week and I'll show you around my "crib"!!! =0)~

Love and Binkies,

Benjamin G. Ross

Enough Suspense Already!!!

Well, sports fans...I'm finally here! I made my big debut on Monday night at 11:07. Dr. Wilson had to do a C-Section to get me here because I was facing the wrong way...somebody gave me some bad directions!!! Me and Mom are doing just fine, here are some pictures for your enjoyment! Hope to see all of you really soon!

Na-na-na-na-boo-boo!

I'm not coming out yet! We went to see Dr. Wilson yesterday and he said that there's a 90% chance that I'll still be hanging out in here next Monday when we're supposed to see him again! (I don't think that I've given Mom quite enough indigestion to deal with yet! ) =0)

Maybe I'll be out in time for the Superbowl. My Cowboys didn't make it so I think that I'll cheer for the Bears...they're grrrrrrreat!!!

Until next week,

Benjamin G. Ross

Only 4 More Weeks To Go...

Yep, that's right! I've only got a few more weeks in my warm little (and becoming smaller by the day) cubby hole. The picture above is one that Daddy took of Mommy last week. She's holding Daddy's teddy bear, Radar. I think that she's just as pretty as she can be...with my help of course! =0)

We went to see Dr. Wilson today and he says that everything is coming along just fine. He says that I probably weigh between five and a half and six pounds right now, but I'll weigh much more by the time I'm born. Other than that, I'm all put together. I've just got to bulk up for my big day now...Beefcake! =0)~

Mom's been pretty tired lately. Apparently carrying both of us around all the time is starting to take its toll on her. Luckily, I've got people lined up around the block to hold me for her when I make it to the outside. I'm such a blessed baby! =0)

Love and Weight Gain 3000,

Benjamin G. Ross

P.S. - By the way, Nana...I really would kick your hand to let you know that I'm in here, but you're never here at 4 AM when I'm really working out. Next time Mom and Dad come to see you, I'll try to wake up and do some gymnastics for you! Love ya!

Holiday Happenings and Other Tidbits For The Fans...

Myspace Codes: MyNiceSpace.com

Hello guys, gals, sports fans, and armchair quarterbacks! There have been alot of goings on lately...I made Mom sleep through most of them, but I took some notes so she could keep you guys posted! =0)

Christmas was lovely and festive this year. I haven't even been born yet, but I was included in the gift exchange anyway. I got some neat-o things to wear once I get to the other side, and I even got something with my name on it from my Aunt Jennifer and Uncle David! It's a blanket that says "Benjamin Guy" on it, and I think that it's really special! I also got some hiking boots from my Granny Cindy, but I think it'll be a little while before Mom will let me go play in the woods! =0)

New Year's Eve was really fun too. We went out to Nana and Paw-Paw's and played games until midnight, when Mom said that we turned into a pumpkin and had to go home...I think that she's beginning to lose her mind sometimes! =0) Next year, I plan on showing Nana and Meme how Pennies From Heaven is really supposed to be played...with all the cards in your mouth, of course! =0)

I've been growing just fine, according to Dr. Wilson. Daddy and Aunt Angel went with us to our doctor's appointment and they got to hear my heartbeat. My first audience! Daddy looked really proud of my strong heartbeat...Just wait until he hears this set of lungs that I've been growing! He's really gonna be proud of me then!

Well, I guess that's a good run down of what's been happening lately. I think that Mom's just about out of batteries or whatever it is that keeps her going...so I'm going to let her get some rest.

Until next time, this is Baby Ben telling you all Happy New Year 2007!

Love and Hugs,

Benjamin G. Ross

Doctor's Update...

We went to see Dr. Wilson on Monday and we are both doing just fine. My heartbeat is very strong and right on target for what it is supposed to be. Dr. Wilson told Mom to expect me in about 7 to 9 weeks, so I hope you guys are ready for me! =0)

While it's been really cool to hang out and grow in Mom's tummy, I'm really starting to look forward to having some leg room. Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to get these "rib" things of hers to stretch out more so that I can get more comfy, but everytime I make a little headway, she pushes them back in place! Sooner or later, this boxing match will have to be won! =0)

Love and Kickboxing,

Benjamin G. Ross

Take A Good Look, Daddy!!!

Dad came home a little too early during Mom's baby shower last weekend, so the women decided to put him to the test! He had to look at the diaper in question and try to figure out what was in it...yuckers!!! He was a good sport about it and played along, but I'm not so sure he's going to want to look so close when it comes to the real thing!!! =0)

And let the countdown begin!! We have ten weeks left and counting until my debut! I think Mom's going to be happy to have me on the outside...she's a little off balance with two of us in here! (And to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't mind some extra leg room!)

Stay tuned, pictures of my cool new room are coming soon!

Love and Leg Room,

Benjamin G. Ross

Turkey Is For The Birds!!!

Well, at least that's what Mom had to say after she stuffed us silly on Thanksgiving! Dad made a deep fried turkey and Mom made her signature baked ham, and I got to try both. They were both really good, but my favorite was without a doubt Meme's Scrumdiddlyumptious!! It's chocolatey goodness that she only makes twice a year, and I can see why it's Mom's favorite! Okay, I'm making Mom drool on herself, so I'll tell you about the rest of the goings on...

My Aunt Melanie and Uncle Jason came to visit with my cousin Riley. I think Riley was a little jealous that she couldn't dig into any of the food, but we all made it up to her by cuddling and rocking her non-stop!

My Aunt Angel came to visit too, and she learned how to use a digital camera! I think that she must have taken over a hundred pictures! Mom's going to start calling her "Angel Adams"...whatever that means!

Love and Stuffing,

Benjamin G. Ross

90 Days and Counting!!!

Myspace Codes: MyNiceSpace.com

Yep! That's right! (Drum roll, please!) I've only got 90 days left to hang out in here before I'm ready to make my grand entrance! I pretty much have myself all put together now. I'm just working out alot to make my muscles and bones bigger and stronger. Just ask Mom...I wake her up at exactly 9 AM every morning doing my workouts! There's this balloon thing that it's really fun to bounce around on, but when I do, Mom tells me to get off her bladder and go to my "womb"! =0)

Next week is Thanksgiving, but I don't think I'm going to be having any turkey. Mom says she's going to have ham and that me and Daddy are all the turkey she's ever going to need! I think she's probably right too!!

Love and Pumpkin Pie,

Baby Ben

Trick Or Treat!!!

Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

Hey there everybody! I thought that I would pause my busy schedule to give you an update and show you some pictures from our Halloween adventures! I didn't get to do a whole lot, but Mom promised that next year I would get to have my very own costume! As for this year, Mom and Dad dressed up and went to a costume party. Dad was a "Gangsta" and Mom was his little devil! And I have to admit, they were devilishly cute!!! The other picture with the glowing eyes is Mom and my kitty-sister, Katrina. She's not a scary cat, but she sure looks spooky in that picture!

Mom and Dad also carved Jack-O-Lanterns to put out so that the trick-or-treaters would have some light...Mom's is the kitty cat, and Dad's is the Headless Horseman. They look pretty good, but I'm going to give them a run for their money next year!

Nana and Paw-Paw came over to help give candy out and then we watched a movie...but it was kind of hard for me to see what was going on. I can't wait until I can be "born" as they say and really see what's out there! Oh well, I guess I'll just keep entertaining myself by kicking Mom and bouncing on her bladder for now...I'm getting really good at that! =0)~

Time to get back to work, but stay tuned in for more updates!

Love and Pumpkins,

Benjamin G. Ross

Riley Cat's Big Day...

Well, it's been a big week in the Ross family! My cousin Riley Catherine (Mom calls her Riley-Cat) made her grand entrance last Thursday after about 13 hours of labor and almost TWO hours of pushing!!! My Aunt Melanie sure is tough! Mom wrote her a cheer before she went to the hospital..."Push her out! Push her out! Waaaaaaaayyyyy out!" Mom can be really silly sometimes!!! =0)~

There were some tense moments, but after it was all said and done Aunt Mel and Riley-Cat were just fine.

Now that Riley-Cat's here, everyone's waiting on me to show my face to the world. It won't be long now...only about four months left! I'm kinda glad too...it's starting to get a little cramped in here, and I'm ready to go fishing with Paw-Paw!

Love and Bait,

Benjamin G. Ross

Shall We Let The Cat Out of The Bag?

That's right, sports fans! The waiting and the guessing games are now over! I am officially releasing that I am a boy once and for all!!! Of course, I knew it all along, and so did Aunt Melanie...I think she has ESPN!!! My name is now Benjamin Guy Ross rather than Little Ross. It's a little more grown-up, don't ya think? My middle name is the same as my Paw-Paw and my Daddy! Isn't that neat? Paw-Paw was so excited about having another Cub Scout in the family that he even shed a (very manly) tear or two! Nana is just feeling so blessed that she is having two grandkids and one girl and one boy that she just can't sign on to E-Bay fast enough! As for Mom and Dad, they are kicking it in to high gear to get my room and everything ready for me by February. That's just around the corner you know!!! I'll have Mom post some pictures of my room in a couple of weeks, but for now, I think all this excitement has worn me out...Nap time!!!

Love and Scout's Honor,

Benjamin G. Ross

Little Ross in Little Rock!!!

Last weekend I took my first trip to the city of Little Rock. That's where my Aunt Melanie, Uncle Jason, Cousin Riley, and Great Uncle Collin live. I guess technically Cousin Riley still lives in Aunt Melanie's tummy, but she's due to come out of there any minute now!

We went to the Little Rock Zoo so Mommy could look at all the animals there. It was really hot, so most of the animals were hiding out in the shade, but we saw this lioness that was sleeping right by the window of her house! She even looked up so Daddy could take a picture of her face!

After the zoo, we went to see my Great Uncle Collin. I think I'm going to like him alot...he's got a REALLY big TV and he likes to watch Monsters INC on it! He also has alot of neat pictures of Nemo sitting around his house. An uncle that knows Nemo up close and personal just has to be cool, right? =0)

On Sunday, we went to watch Uncle Jason preach at his church. Cousin Riley really likes it when everybody sings, because she was moving around so much in Aunt Melanie's tummy that I could even see it!!! Afterwards, we had lunch at the Toot-N-Moo...It was really good, and I can't wait to go back there again when Riley-Cat decides to make her grand entrance!!!

After all this exitement, I think I'm going to take it easy for a little while. Next weekend is the Four States Fair, but I think I'm going to sit the roller coaster out!

Tune in next week to see if Dr. Wilson lets the boy/girl secret out of the bag for me!

Love and Lions,

Little Ross

Labor , But Not That Kind Of Labor, Day Weekend...

Well, I know you guys have been wondering what I've been up too so I thought I'd share a little slide show with you so you could see for yourself! =0)

We all went to Camp Pioneer for Labor Day (no, not that kind of labor!!) weekend and we had a blast! Mom, Dad, Nana, Paw-Paw, and I went to the zoo and played all kinds of card games together. It was really fun, but I didn't get too close to the animals at the zoo...Those things are ENORMOUS!!!

Other than that, I'm just growing and growing. I've grown out of Daddy's jeans, so I won't be able to wear them again for a few years. Mom's back in control of the fashion thing, and I think she's doing a pretty good job...Not as great as mine, but pretty good! Sitting in school is kind of boring, so I pass the time by giving Mom indigestion and making her have to use the restroom in the middle of lectures...It's sooo funny to see her squirm!!! She'll be able to really know I'm hear as soon as my bones get just a little bit bigger. Then I can tell her what I want to eat or drink or even to change the TV channel! She can already feel me move around a little, but soon she's not going to be able to mistake me for anything but Little Ross!


Stay tuned in...I'm going to reveal my true identity very soon!!!

Love and Tums,

Little Ross
