This little one is nearly 4 months old! At this point he's consistently sleeping through the night (~8 pm - 4 am; woohoo!). After eating at 4 am and then going back to sleep he wakes us up around 7 every morning by cooing "OOOOOOOOOOO! AWOOOOOOOOO! AGEEEEEEEEEEEEW!" as loud as he can. We're not entirely […]
Read moreBen has been laughing for the past few weeks but we haven't been able to catch it on camera because he quiets down every time we pull out our phones to record him. We finally got a video today :). Just for comparison, here's a throw-back video of the noises he used to make:
Read moreBen is 12 weeks old today!!! He's getting so big! He's started reaching for objects (well, with his fists), is smiling and "talking" a lot more and loves to "read" books. He's also sleeping from ~8 pm to 4 am (woohoo!). We've ventured out into the heat a few times with him... once to a […]
Read moreBeing pregnant isn't for the weak, that's for sure! Fortunately people are super nice to us pregnant ladies (seriously... holding doors open, offering seats, adding a few extra donuts to my order even though I really didn't need them :). The only jerk I encountered was the guy who told me I looked like I […]
Read moreSince the last post Ben has had is 2 month checkup, took his first swim in the pool (please ignore our pool - we need to have it replastered this fall!) and spent his first day away from me. His checkup went great! He's 85th percentile for weight, 92nd for height and 91st for head […]
Read moreBen's first road trip! We drove to Los Angeles to visit with Mema, mom (visiting from VA), Aunt Tami, Uncle Mike, Aunt Sallie... (the list goes on!). He was pretty good for the drive even though the car seat isn't his favorite. Vincent was excited to ride up front and help Craig navigate. Mema gives […]
Read moreBen is 8 weeks old today! We estimate he's ~14 lbs (he feels about as heavy as Vincent now!). He's tracking us and other objects around the room, is learning to use his hands, and is cooing (see the video of his intense negotiations with Starman). He's smiling a lot more now, too! Big thanks […]
Read moreBen has been smiling intermittently for the past 2-3 weeks and he's just started smiling consistently every morning this week. This isn't the biggest smile he's given us, but it's the only one I've gotten a picture of. Ben says thank you to his Auntie Nicole for the awesome onesie from London!!!
Read morePawPaw and Grandma Helen are visiting from 6/6 to 6/13! During their visit Ben is starting to really be able to hold his head up. Ben loves taking naps on PawPaw's belly and when Grandma Helen rocks him to sleep. We will miss them when they're gone!
Read moreBenjamin turned four weeks old on 5/21! He's growing fast. He weighed 11 lbs 11 oz at his one month checkup. He'll be heavier than Vincent soon! Grandma Trina thinks he looks like a sumo wrestler :) At this age Ben loves taking naps on mom or dad and staring at the ceiling fan (we […]
