He sleeps...


Glorious, GLORIOUS sleep. He slept six hours IN A ROW several times this week. Can I get an "Amen"?

Four months!

Benjamin will be four months this week! He has mastered holding that large noggin' up, has squealed in delight, grasps onto things and can now entertain himself with toys, blows bubbles and loves to kick his legs (often making diaper changes interesting). We haven't had the four month pediatrician appointment yet, but he weighed 17.2 pounds last week at the YMCA mom's group.













He loves his books!

Mom went back to work when Benjamin was 13 weeks old. While she works Tuesday and Thursdays, Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Larry watch the little stinker. It's the best of both worlds for Kristen- and Benjamin comes home very tired (picture from the first day)!



Love those big blue/brown/green (???) eyes!

Benjamin is the pround recipient of Zoe's old high chair. He loves sitting at the table with us. No food quite yet buddy...

Race For The Cure


Benjamin's first race. He did very well until half way through- he decided it was time for a snack. We finished almost dead last- escort vehicles were right behind us! How's that for a PR?...


















Newport

This is the third year that Kristen's attended the OSPA fall CME conference at Newport. Some may remember that last year, at this same conference, we found out we were expecting. Fast forward one year...
Mom & Benjamin


Our family, minus Sadie. Sadie spent the weekend at Grandpa & Grandma's farm. This particular weekend at the coast in October always has amazing weather- 65-ish and sunny.


Benjamin & Dad
Benjamin's first time touching sand.

Good times at the beach. Will travel again soon!
