THE STORY

This weekend was a crazy one! How 'bout those Cowboys??!! I am so excited football season is in full swing! And so excited for this awesome weather! It is so nice to sit on our quiet patio during the morning, in the afternoon or in the evening without breaking out in full sweat!

So Ben visited Dr Henley, his pediatrician last week for his 4 month well child check-up. He was 18lbs and 27 inches long! He is so tall his height was off the chart....literally! He was about 95th% for weight and height was 99%+. He did such a good job. He did not like his shots or the oral vaccination he got. It was sour. Why would you make something to give to kids/babies sour?
Anyway.....

I'm feeling very crafty lately. I feel like making tons of things. I have all these ideas in my head. But maybe I will just bake/cook instead. Have you been to pinterest? Love it! Makes me want to do everything I see!

Time to go, baby Ben is asleep and therefore, I should be too!

FALL

Finally! Fall weather is here! I can actually take Ben out & about without either of us pouring sweat. It is nice to be able to get out of the house every now & then. It was just too hot to do anything this summer with a newborn baby!
Last week some of my sorority sisters & their husband and kids came over for a cookout. It was so fun to have everyone together!
Ben has been growing like weeds. He is so tall he fits in 6-9 month clothes (but the body is too big). Oh well! He is into blowing bubbles & making noises with his mouth. He is a social baby & loves to talk & laugh. He is so fun right now! Last week Matt took Friday & Tuesday off work around the holiday weekend, so it was awesome to have him at home. He loved hanging out with his little buddy!!
Ben goes for his 4 month check-up in a couple weeks & I am anxious to see how much he has grown.
He loves watching Dinosaur Train & Sesame Street (I let him watch while I do dishes or wash bottles....no I don't sit him in front of it all day). He is really into reaching for objects & trying to put them into his mouth. Speaking of mouth, ugh, this baby is teething. He drools all day long & wants to eat everything. I'm hoping we can start him on some rice cereal in a couple weeks! He can roll over onto one side. He can do push-ups when he is on his tummy. He loves tummy time! Here are some recent Ben pics:
Doesn't he look cute in his sleep & play?

A little boy grin:)

Little Cowboy

Such a happy boy!
Thats about all the updates for now. We are excited about the cooler temps, cowboy football & spending time together as a family. More to come soon!
