Got to be doing

Ben is always working very hard at something. Usually getting across the room, but also experimenting with the sounds things make if you bang them, what things taste like, and moving furniture. He has figured out how to pull his toy basket off the shelf and take toys out of it, which is always great fun. He also likes pulling magazines off the coffee table and scrunching the pages (we try to take them away as soon as he starts chewing on them). For the moment, until he can crawl for real, he also likes hanging out in the kitchen tasting spatulas, measuring cups, and the like, and trying to get hold of cat food (we generally put it up on the counter first thing).
