Crispy Pata

“Your baby is so cute I can eat him!” “He looks delicious!” These are common things we hear about Benig.  I wonder where this idea of eating a baby for being so cute comes from.  Did people actually used to eat babies?  Are they just so fat that, if they were any other animal, you’d [...]

Benig Tans

He’s half Staten Island, so it’s in his Lamarckian genes to do so even though it’s too cold to not be in his Patagonia parka. Notice the tan coloring of his face.  That happened after 1/2 hour in the sun.  I bet Ninang Lisa is jealous.

The Dropping Game

Benig’s new schtik is to drop his toys off his high chair’s table onto the floor.  He does it so frequently that we were afraid our downstairs neighbor would become upset from all the noise.  As a solution, Lola Neneng put his chair next to him to catch all the toys.

Benig at the Table

Recently, Benig has enough control over his body to join us at the table for meals.  He seems excited to be in the mix!

Benig is Sitting Up!

He starts off strong… … and even boldly flaps his arms. But this quickly gets him into trouble. Luckily, he is unfazed and happily recovers.    

I think we had Benig sport some or all of his bunny suit over the course of the last month.  We couldn’t get enough of the Easter Benig.

Benig made through his first medical school party. At first, he was a little cranky and nervous about what was to come. But then he found himself enjoying being in the arms of others, the way most medical students end up as the night goes on and the drinks are consumed. But all the socializing [...]

And I Thought Carrots Were Bad…

…broccoli is even worse.  And it gets worse with every bite!

No! Not carrots!

Someone’s not a fan of carrots the first time he tried them.  Let’s hope he was just getting used to the taste and will more happily eat them in the future.  He’s got a 50/50 chance of liking vegetables based on his gene pool (i.e., Lawrence still finds most if not all vegetables bitter).

Future Ukelele Band Member

Benig loves strumming the ukelele already. He looks pretty lonely whenever he does strum it though.  I think he’s hoping someone will ask him to join a band soon.  He’s already dressed to impress with his hipster white jump suit with a cool blue stripe down his sleeves.
