Batman Ben, Canon Digital Rebel XSi
Some highlights of my week of waiting for boy number two:
Trick or treating with Batman Ben.
Having ice cream with Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Samin today.
Pumpkin carving at a friend’s house.
Shooting a Cosmic Rocket with Ben and my cousin visiting from Toronto.
Finally hanging art and just generally fluffing our house.
Gifting Ben an awesome belt from My Baby Belts. Finally the poor kids pants won’t fall down. 
Having lunch at the new Vik’s Chaat house in Berkeley, millefoile and pan chocolat at Le Bedaine, all with no regard for calories!
And just a few minutes ago…

Ben’s haircut looks terrific!
Hooray for savoring your time.
totally love these photos. how fun. sending you love as you wait for number 2
Ah… Vik’s chaat house! Makes me miss living in the bay area. Same feeling whenever someone mentions Zachary’s.
Your positive attitude is inspiring!
Love the pictures! Ben is fearless! Good luck this week.
Oh my goodness, I can’t even handle those pictures. I could just see the first one and I thought, “Wow, Matt is just so calm when he can clearly see that Ben is going to land on him.” Then: “Oh, he’s got pillows to protect him.”
THEN, Matt’s face in the second picture is exactly what you would expect! And Ben has his head tucked against his daddy, giggling. I LOVE IT!
Most awesome mid-air photo ever. I love it!
Well, he is Batman, after all. Very sweet sequence.
Hang in there, Andrea. Can’t be much longer now.
this post + pictures just made my week.
hang in there mama it won’t be long now.
Oooo I love it!! I love these photos too! I love Vik’s (and Zachary’s too!)… Mostly I love YOU! xxoo
so delightful!
I know it will be a whirlwind but please post when new baby gets here so I can tear up a little and be happy for you
The combination of those two pictures actually made me laugh out loud! Crossing fingers and sending good vibes for baby #2!
I know that a lot of people these days are taking a BOAT load of pictures, and I’m glad you’re one of them! Seems like I don’t have a lot of pictures of myself from like birth until digital cameras came out, so I’m glad you’re taking lots of opportunities to take lots and lots of pictures (and great ones at that!)
oh my…I just love Ben.
i LOVE these photos! thanks for sharing! it sounds like you are doing lots of savoring before baby arrives! enjoy!
Those pictures are crazy good!!!!
Lovely pictures! Hope you are patiently waiting #2!
i wish batman ben could have met up with spidey and buzz during our halloween festivities… man, that kids is some cuteness. once little guy 2 is here, i suspect a cuteness overload.
Little boys rock!!! You are so super duper lucky!! xo glo (Mommy to Joey & David)
Those pictures are beyond words! Perfect joy (at least for Ben
.
I know this is really boring and you are skipping to the next comment, but I just wanted to throw you a big thanks – you cleared up some things for me!
I keep popping in…still in one piece you are…thinking about you
hrm…no posts since the 1st. is the baby here? can’t wait to see the new addition to your beautiful family!
I think it is hilarious that Matt has the pillows strategically placed to protect all his vital organs. LOL.
I too am waiting for your announcement of the new baby! Two kids will rock your world a little. Hang in there. Ask for help if you need it and know that this time next year, little Ben will not even remember that his mom was so busy with a newborn. All he will know is the adoring love of a little brother.
Hugs and kisses to you.

Oh boy, that looks like it might have hurt! Pretty darn funny though.
