Our wonderful weekend =)

We finally got to visit with the Bentons yesterday. We hadn't seen them since Hayden's Dedication January 11th. We finally got a picture of Ben & Hayden together!! Hayden kept calling Ben "my baby". It was so cute!!!!! We are so lucky to have such great friends in our lives. I've posted some pictures of the visit below.

So far, our Sunday has been wonderful as well. Ben woke up at 5:30 am, but fell back asleep an hour later and slept until 8:30. I brought him to our room when he woke up and snapped some pictures of him in his new PJs. He looks so big to me. He's growing up way too fast. We had our usual Sunday morning pancake breakfast and have been lounging around ever since! Ben and Jeremy are currently snoozing on the couch =) We'll get dressed and go to Publix later.......

Ben's conversation with Mommy

New Ben pics...

Ben in his new ball cap playing....I mean eating, his dragonfly =)

One of Ben's favorite past times these days is playing in this Boppy gym Grandma & Grandpa Byrd got him for Christmas. He loves wrapping himself around the "vines". He looks a little mischievous in this picture......

I had to "trick" Ben into smiling for this picture. I make this funny sound that he loves, so I did it and pulled the camera up from my lap super fast so I could snap it!

Here is Ben playing with the ridiculously huge bear his Nana brought him for Valentine's Day. He LOVES that bear.

4 months check-up

Ben had his 4 months check-up with Dr. LaRue last Tuesday. He weighs 13 lbs. 2 ounces and is 25.5 inches long. I can't believe he's grown half a foot since birth! He also got his second round of immunizations which was pitiful! His huge, alligator tears made me cry. He slept the entire way home and slept through the entire night that night (nice break for mommy and daddy). Our little boy is growing up.......

Jumpin', Squealin' & Eatin' toes

Since I'm home sick today, I figured the least I could do is update you all on Ben. A few weeks ago we bought him this really cute bouncer from Fisher-Price called a Jumperoo. As you can see in the video, his little feet barely touch the ground so I've learned to put a pillow underneath his feet to help. He'll play in it for 5 to 10 minutes at a time and then gets frustrated because he can't put the toys in his mouth!

The second video is of Ben and his new "voice". He has learned to squeal and LOVES to hear himself doing it!!!! If I show him the video of himself squealing, he'll hear it and squeal some more! So cute!!

Ben has also found his toes! We don't even bother putting socks on him at home because they end up in his mouth. His favorite time for eatin' his toes is bath time when they're all wet & soapy!

Baseball season’s underway
Well you better get ready for a brand new day
Hey, Chicago, what do you say
The Cubs are gonna win today.
They’re singing …
Go, Cubs, go
Go, Cubs, go
Hey, Chicago, what do you say
The Cubs are gonna win today
Go, Cubs, go
Go, Cubs, go
Hey, Chicago, what do you say
The Cubs are gonna win today.
They got the power, they got the speed
To be the best in the National League
Well this is the year and the Cubs are real
So come on down to Wrigley Field.

Trick or Treat in January???

I was in the kitchen cooking dinner, while Jeremy and Ben were playing. I guess Jeremy wasn't changing his diaper fast enough and Ben started peeing everywhere. Since I was busy, Jeremy decided to find him something new to wear and this is what he picked out! I just had to take a picture because he looked so stinkin' cute!
