LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCA!

Our life seems crazy, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! However, I did trade 4 days of it for a vacation in Seattle with Matt. I bought him tickets to the Seattle vs ManU soccer match back in April for his birthday. We had an awesome time. Mommy got to drink some champagne (my favorite!) and we toured Chateau St Michelle winery and Redhook Brewery. We stayed at awesome hotels and had the best time! We did miss our little guy so much though. It felt like a piece of us was missing, but we were comforted knowing his Gigi and Poppa were taking great care of him (and spoiling him lots too).

Back at home & settled in everything is going great. Ben had an excellent 2 month checkup at his dr's office. He is such a good boy. We are blessed with such a great baby!

Update on the dogs:they are being super sports about beating this heat! They love Ben (eventhough Momma doesn't let them get too close). They've only gotten ahold of 1 pacifier (which got thrown away). They are still loving their big backyard & hunting frogs and snakes is their #1 priority. Yes snakes......they get ahold of the little garder ones we have out here & like to play tug of war. Fine with me!

THE BUSINESS OF BABIES

I love our baby Ben! Lately he has been doing the following:
1. eating
2. sleeping
3. tooting and pooping
4. fussing
5. smiling
6. playing under his gym
7. sitting in his bouncer
8. he loves to sit outside (when the weather is cool enough)
Yay! he has been smiling:) It is so much fun & such a reward to see that baby smile. Turns a bad day into the best day of the week. This week he is 7 weeks. Time is definitely flying by fast!

EXPLODING WITH CUTENESS!

Ben loved 4th of July. I said we weren't taking him "out" before he was 2 months, but we made an exception for the holiday weekend.  Saturday we hung out with the Dill side. Then Monday we spent at Gigi & Poppa's hammin' it up for some party guests. Funny thing about babies....men want to hold them more than the women. These men just fall all over themselves for babies. It is too cute. Ben was very good (we are super lucky) and did such a good job being handled by several people. Such a great baby!
Matt & I love him more every day! He is definitely our baby....you can't deny him! He is at a cute stage where he poots and coos and is starting to smile more every day! I love snuggle time with him!
