Splish! Splash! Fun in the Sun!

Well....Ben is definitely a water baby! We bought a $5 kiddie pool a few weeks ago that he really enjoys. We took him outside to play in it for the first time last Saturday and had a blast. He looked so handsome in his swimsuit. Enjoy the pictures!

Spring Break and Easter

Spring break was very relaxing this year. The baseball team played in a tournament in Lake Placid Monday-Wednesday. Grandma & Grandpa Byrd and I took Ben to the first game hoping he would do better than the previous games we've taken him to. Nope! Ben did not enjoy the ballpark atmosphere! We left the game early and took him to Pizza Hut. He had a great time playing with a spoon ;-) The rest of the week we stayed close to home enjoying the fact that we didn't have to get up and go to work! I finally finished reading The Shack, which I highly recommend to everyone!

Easter was very relaxing as well. Ben was very excited to find what the Easter Bunny had left him that morning! Grandma & Grandpa Byrd, Papa Stone, and Great Aunt Lisa joined us for Easter lunch. Later that day, Jeremy and I hid eggs and took Ben outside to "hunt". Here are some pictures of Ben with his basket of goodies and his egg hunt.

Ben is 6 months old!

How has half a year passed by in what seems like the blink of an eye? I just can't believe that our little Ben is already 6 months old! It seems like he was born 6 days ago! He had a great check-up with Dr. LaRue last Thursday. He weighs 14 lbs. 15 ounces and is measuring 27.5 inches (compared to 6 lbs. 11 ounces and 19.5 inches at birth). Wow!

I think Jeremy and I are finally settling into being a family of three now. I know that probably sounds crazy since he's been with us for 6 months. I just can't explain how surreal the transition to being parents has been. I think we've been so caught up in the day-to-day that we didn't realize how much time has passed! People were not kidding when they said our world was about to be turned upside down. You know, Jeremy and I have been together for almost 11 years now and we were pretty stuck in our ways............used to going and doing as we pleased. Boy did that change! (for the good of course) It really is hard to remember what life was like before Ben. And now...I can't wait for the next one! Am I crazy????

I think I'm rambling now so I'll stop typing. I'll leave you guys with some new video of Ben. One is of him in his jumperoo (he really goes to town these days) and one is of him eating bananas (I can't seem to type "bananas" without singing "I like to eat, eat, eat, apples and bananas--momma & Ben jam to that one). Enjoy!
