Ginny and Bennett

Bennett has become more and more interested in our dogs. I decided to try to take a picture of Ginny and Bennett... It turned into so much more!!!




Blurry Ginny!




Bennett put his hand out to touch her own his own! 


Then he did a back hand pet... Which made me realize he was touching Ginny on purpose.



Ginny realizing this - wanted to go in for the kiss!


Bennett doesn't know how much our girls, Ginny and Georgia, love him already!

Second and third weeks back to work/school

I ordered Bennett some sunglasses online from a company based out of San Diego. They make sunglasses special for babies that are the quality of adult sunglasses. So far Bennett loves them! 



Bennett and I both came down with a summer cold. Last friday we both stayed home to try to recover. He slept so hard... I couldn't help but take a few pics of him.  His Mohawk is in full effect here as you can see! 



I love this look - this is his milk coma face. 


Bennett recently started taking naps in his crib at school. I was surprise when I walked in on my lunch break (I go there everyday to nurse him durig lunch) and Ms. Pam told me to turn around... This is what I saw!

Passed out! I actually ran back to my car to get my phone to document this event! He didn't even wake up to nurse that day - he slept for 2 hours! Guess he is getting used to sleeping through the different noises at school!


Sometimes when I come to his school he will be sitting in a bouncer or in the bumbo seat "hanging out with the boys."   Also.. He is obsesse with sucking on his index and middle fingers at the same time! Teething here we come!


This is one of the new photos of him they have posted.
 
Caption: Big Boy Bennett


We walked down to Styron Square for the weekly summer concert a few weeks ago. A carried him in one of our other carriers and he did great!


We met Vickie and Amanda (I don't know why I didn't end up with a photo of her and Bennett - she loved ring a baby hog that night!)

 
More finger sucking!


 Daddy and Bennett watching TV... You can see very well in this picture how he is losing a patch of hair in the middle of his Mohawk 


 
Daddy put together his new toy! Loved it for about 7 minutes... Then he had enough - right as I was trying to video chat grandma Shirley and grandpa john!


 I think he really liked being on the same level as the dogs. Usually we have his bouncer on the coffee table so the girls don't lick him too much. They really enjoyed having him on their level too!

School

It is so hard for me to be away from Bennett while I am at work and he is at school - even though I know it has it's benefits for both of us.

The other day I walked into his classroom and notice they had photos of all the kids printed out. Fun photos like  you would see your relatives taking. I notice a large one of Bennett and below there is a caption that said Bennett's First Day"

I just thought that was so sweet since it was a very BIG day for both of us - and they realized that too and documented it!

I really love the teachers in his classroom!



This is the main Assistant Teacher, Ms Pam. I feel like she has given me (and Bennett) extra attention knowing we needed it. 


I asked to take her photo when I picked him up from school on Friday of his first week.  I dressed him up in his bow tie and suspender outfit (the suspenders didn't make it through the whole day cause they are cute as heck but make diaper changes more difficult) to celebrate us making it through our first week apart. She is so sweet - she told me she prays every night we don't get orders because she has fallen in love with Bennett. That makes me feel good that he is cared for by the people taking care of him.

Overall, school has been good for us.

To my dad

Happy 1st Father's Day to my Dad - as a Grandpa!

I am so blessed to have you as my Dad - to the man I have looked up to - I think the world of you and know Bennett does too. 


I'll always be a daddy's girl

















Happy first Fathers Day Chris!

Happy First Father's Day to my loving husband Chris!

Chris came with me on Friday to pick Bennett up from school. I had known that his class was making Fathers Day presents so I thought it would be nice to have Chris come and meet all his teachers and get his gift.

Turns out it was a hat with #1 Daddy with his footprint on it. It also says Bennett on the back. Too cute! 

They also made book marks and a sweet card. The card had a poem on it that Chris really enjoyed :)



Since Bennett and I have been at work and school and Chris working nights, it's been hard for all of us to have any time together.  These are from the few hours during the last week we had together.



It amazes me sometimes the faces Bennett makes. From smiles to this one - screaming eyes!

Georgia can't wait til she can play with her baby!

Daddy talking with Bennett. 

UofA outfit from Mr. & Mrs. King that they got for Bennett last Christmas. Also notice the matchig shoes I found while we were visiting Tucson!

Chris came in showing me their new "trick". By the time I could take a picture Bennett was not into it anymore.

I really can't wait until Chris is on a day schedule again so this little man and I can have time to see him again!

I am so bless to have my son in my life who has made me a mommy and Chris a daddy! 

Soo blessed!
