Santa Claus

We went to see Santa yesterday morning. Grammy, Nonny, Aunt Amy, Kennedy and Colin joined us for the visit.

Waiting on Santa


Kennedy and Colin met us to visit with Santa...are we on the naughty or nice list?
Wasn't I a good boy, Nonny?
Riding the train. Is that Pappy driving?
Too much excitement for one afternoon. Maybe dreaming of a Christmas wish list? 4-Wheelers, monster trucks, and maybe a new thumb to suck on?


We went to MaMaw Betty's last night for dessert and visits with family. Ben showed everyone how he could squeal and roll over.

Mommy's Little Jumper

Grammy and Pappy kept Benjamin this week while I worked and Pappy pulled out the "Johnnie Jump-Up" since Ben really likes to work his leg muscles. He loves it!!



After waking from his nap.

He likes to hold his bottle. What a big boy!!

Doctor's visit and new things

I took Benjamin to the doctor last Monday for his four month check-up and shots. Luckily, I already had an appointment scheduled because he caught the cold that Matt and I (and many of you) had been fighting. He was a little fussy and couldn't breathe well because his nose was stuffy. But, he has now recovered and is back to his old self. We have now started on cereal twice daily and have recently added pears to our diet. It is a blast watching him eat from a spoon. He also recognizes a bottle and the milk bags that the milk is stored in and most definitely a SPOON.

Growth for the fourth month:
75th percentile weight--15 lbs. 11 oz. (gained 5 1/2 oz in a month)
75th percentile height--25 1/4 inches (grown 3/4 inch in a month)
