Jimmy (son of Johanna Yanez) and Ben at a neighborhood park in Chicago:
It was the only blissfully warm spring-like day so far in February:
Aunt Monica and Cousin Isabel were in town!
Ben with nextdoor neighbor and best buddy Jonathan at Two Toots restaurant in town:
Kids love this place...Food is delivered on a train that runs back and forth past the tables:
Ben loves riding the old horsie there: 
He often says "horsie up and down" at home:
Ben's favorite toy ever...His very own kitchen, which is placed in mommy's kitchen, of course!
Slicing a strawberry...nothing like boiled strawberries?
We were at the dollar store when Ben spotted this baby and said, "Baby...Take it home?!" He's being a good daddy here:
Ben took this picture of one of his bears and Pluto whom he likes to cook for:
Pounding nails:
Unscrewing a bolt:
A few of Ben's fav books: The Wheels on the Bus, Go Dog Go and Big Dog Little Dog, which was daddy's in the 70s or early 80s. The Wheels on the Bus is a pop-up...He's spinning a wheel here:

I love "Go Dog Go". You guys must be having a blast introducing Ben to so many new things. We are looking forward to seeing you again Ben, and meeting your Mama & Baba.

Ben is just too cute! Bei is still very fascinated by babies.
Enjoy your little guy!

Looks like Ben's kitchen is pretty high tech with the stainless steel appliances! It won't be too long before you can teach him to cook for real. :-)

Sally, I just came acrossed your blog again. Ben is just a doll. I had to mention on this post though because we have that same outfit from Sawyer's gotcha day. One of the 3 layers he had on. He too is from Suzhou. =)
