Chris had to go to Korea for about 3 weeks. His parents were here for about a week than then a few days later my mom headed out to help me with Bennett and the animals.
Boy was she happy to see her blue bird!
I was thrilled to have my mom in town!
She brought a present from GG!
It was a Brobee stuffed animal. All his cousin (my cousins' kids have had their own that they carried around when they were little) so it was fitting she got one for Bennett :)
Playing
Chewing on my fingers!
Hiding
Bath time!
Big boy standing up
Slick rick hair. Every time I walked in the other room, I would come back and my mom would have wet and combed his hair. She said she was trying to "train it" but I'm not sure it worked
Lazy mornings
His shift says "am I the only one who doesn't know what the fox says?"

Glowing Georgia eyes
Good morning sunshine!
Hi
Smiley boy!
So a few days after my mom arrived - we went to pick up at my sister Katie! Yey!!!
Selfies while we waited
Waiting for Katie with Starbucks in hand!
Auntie Katie!!!
We went to dinner - early bird style - at 4pm.
My mom got ordered a split of sparkling wine and Bennett immediately wanted to have the bottle.
Thanks Grandpa John for teaching him to chew on bottles! :) hmmm maybe I shouldn't let him do this in public!
Next morning - grandma and Bennett both fell asleep on the couch
He can now suck on his toes...
Don't judge me!
Katie was my roomie while in town!
Cuddles
A boy and his dogs!
All dressed for school while the adults went to get pedicures!
So that night my cousin Cody was flying in. She had bad luck and gt delayed so Katie was gonna go get her. To my surprise, I woke up with Bennett during one of his nightly feelings I found all three of them (Cody, Wkatie, and my Mom) awake and drinking André!
They were shocked to see me so we stayed up to talk for a little bit! My mom made me take a picture of her by the clock to prove she was up that late!
Next morning - they all slept in - cause frankly they were up all night - so we headed to the outlet mall a little later than scheduled.

Cody showed me the art of changing a diaper at a restaurant... On your knees... Without being too obvious :)
My mom took this pic... Really?
Sitting for a moment after a quick pit stop to nurse in the Target Starbucks
Kick kick kick
Feet in Auntie's face!
Auntie Katie trying to teach Bennett how to crawl. Don't you just love this face?!
Everything's a game to Cody :) she made a game of how to decide what to order for dinner :) love her!!!
Babies (Bennett and Higgins - notice his hand on her shoulder!) loving Cody
Wouldn't be a visit without Rita's!
Cody's cone with sprinkles
What a good sport!
Also Katie was working on making some cookies to promote her kickstarter. I never realized how much time went into decorating a cookie! A professional cookie like this takes hours because you have to let every layer dryer before adding to it. It makes me think of a painting... We'll the humidit didn't help her either - making it take even longer than usual! Katie tends to be a night owl - but she stayed up well after everyone went to bed every night working on these cookies.
