Ben is a Spit Up Artist

I was looking through some of our recent pictures of Ben and I'm noticing a pattern.  As I've mentioned before, Ben likes to spit up, but I'm starting to think that he is developing a bit of artistry about it.   Take a look at this picture below of my cousin Karen who had been holding Ben this past weekend.



Those aren't just spit up stains...  that is spit up ART.  On her shoulder, that's actually a horse jumping.  And the other piece is actually a boat sailing under the moonlit night.  Go ahead - click on the picture above to get a better look at it.  Just look how proud Karen is about wearing Ben's spitup art and you know its something special.  I bet she is going to want to preserve that shirt and have it mounted on the wall. 

Here's another one.  It's a little hidden in this picture, but you can see how much Alf is enjoying his creative piece of spit up art.   I believe with this piece, Ben was going through his gangster period as he spit up this masterpiece stain in the form of a gun in a holster.


I'm not sure why he chose to place this piece on Alf's shoulder, but maybe we don't fully understand his talent just yet.

Then finally, we have another example of Ben's fine spit up talents - and this one was on me!  That Ben really is a kidder...  with this piece he's trying to make ME look like the messy one. 


But, no, no...  I didn't slobber on myself...  That's a map of Australia.  And see, he even got New Zealand on there!  (Sure, maybe it's on the wrong coast, but he hasn't even seen a map yet.)  Now THAT is impressive!  Let's see you try and spit up a perfect rendering of Australia and New Zealand!  Ben is certainly developing his spit up artistry to new levels.   I can't wait to see what he'll come up with next!
