Happy 6 months, sweet baby boy!

Benito,


Mommy can hardly believe that half a year has already passed since you came into our lives. You have brought joy, love, and happiness beyond measure to our family, and especially to me. I love everything about being your Mommy-the early morning smiles when I walk into your room to get you up for the day, your giggles when I tickly your underarms, the way your smile lights up the room whenever you see me pass by, even the way you like to cuddle up on me and suck your thumb when you are fussy. You are my dream come true, sweet baby boy, and I love you more than words could ever say. Happy 6 month birthday, monito!


Love,


Mommy

Fun at the zoo-again!

Yesterday we went to the zoo with my sister and niece. We sure have gotten our money's worth out of that zoo membership we bought! Ben LOVES looking at the fish in the Oceans building because he can get so up close with them. He also loves the rest of the zoo because he loves anything that involves being outdoors. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Too cute for words!

Just an Update

I haven't posted in a while because sweet Ben has not been feeling well, which means nobody was getting much sleep. We found out on Tuesday he has an ear infection, so he is on antibiotics. Now that the medicine has had a few days to work and we've been giving him Tylenol, he is back to his usual cheerful, easy-going self who sleeps through the night for 11 or 12 hours.

Since we went to the doctor for his ears, he got weighed. He is up to almost 13 and 1/2 pounds now, so he is back on his growth curve for now.

FFF-Silly Smiles

Ben doesn't have too many smiles that look silly-they are all so sweet! But, I did find these pictures that are at least a little silly. The first is a picture of Ben very proud of himself for pushing himself up and over the boppy pillow. The second is his "giant" smile that he reserves for something that really amuses him.
