More fun in the sun

The Aldrich's were so nice to invite us over this morning for some fun in the sun. Ben got to enjoy the pool in his new baby float. He loved watching Greer do belly flops and cannon balls. He also got to meet their maltipoos Muffin and Pepper. There is a picture of him with Pepper. They are the cutest little puppies. I'm still trying to convince Jeremy into getting a dog, but I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon, haha! Enjoy the pictures.

Simone, Madison, & Greer--thanks for having us over:)

CRAZY kid......

Ben is obssessed with vacuums! He will crawl right up to them while they're running! I had to take these pictures today to show you guys how funny he is when the vacuums are out. Crazy kid! He does this with the Shark Steam Mop too. I have to make Jeremy hold him while I mop so he doesn't crawl up to the steam. How funny :)

He is all of a sudden taking a paci. He has never shown an interest in them. He usually chews on the back of them but just the other day, he started sucking on one and decided he liked it. Crazy!

My Favorite Guys

I love these guys! Thanks Corretta & Shannon for the great visit! We love ya'll!

My Little Firecracker!

Here are some pictures of Ben in his 4th of July outfit. He looked so cute! I love his new little cheesy-toothy grin! We hung out at home for the 4th. Jeremy grilled BBQ chicken and we had Uncle Chuckie over. We didn't catch any fireworks....Ben was asleep at 7! Maybe next year!

9 months old!

Ben is 9 months old today! This month seems extra special to me because Ben has been living in this world the same amount of time that he lived in my womb. My camera is magically working again so I've got some new pictures to share. He has a bottom tooth that you can see in some of the pictures if you look close enough. He is still crawling all over the place and even starting to pull himself up. He has tons of thick hair. Some days it looks like a dirty blonde color and some days a little reddish. He still looks more like Jeremy than me. Everyone says your first child tends to look more like the father. I guess we'll have to see!

Enjoy the pictures. I can't believe he's three months away from being 1 year old.....time marches on.

The latest...

I can't believe I'm on summer vacation and haven't blogged since May! I've been having so much fun with Ben all day that I just crash at night! I'm getting old..... Here's a quick recap of what we've been up to lately...Jeremy's been busy with summer baseball. It's almost over so we'll take a few trips in July. Ben has a tooth! A bottom front tooth finally cut through the gum some time Sunday night/early Monday morning. He looks so cute! Ben had an ear infection the first week of June, so we took him back for a check-up Wednesday. He weighs 17.9 lbs!!! Holy cow! I can't believe he's almost 9 months old.

My camera is broken, so I apologize for not having any cute new pictures of Ben to post! I think I'm gonna have to break down and get a new one :( Our TV is also broken...again! We had a fuse replaced about a month ago. I think we're gonna have to get a new TV, too! We have our small TV from the bedroom in the living room right now. It sucks watching a little TV that isn't high-definition. I'm thinking about the book Flowers for Algernon now, ha! Seriously though--life is great and I can certainly deal with a broken camera and small TV. Life could be worse...:)

8 months old!

Ben will be 8 months old tomorrow, June 1st! Time is flying! Jeremy and I are really looking forward to spending the whole summer with him. We love our jobs but miss him dearly while at work. Ben is also pulling himself up into a standing position. It's time to lower the crib mattress again. We got some pictures of him pulling himself up in his crib this morning. We're both thinking he'll probably be walking before school begins in August.

Tomorrow is also our Godson, Hayden's 2nd birthday!!!! I remember his birth day like it was yesterday. Happy birthday little man:) We love watching you grow up!
