7 Months!

7 months with this sweet, sassy, spit fire have flown by!

(Photo shoots are harder these days because Benjamin refuses to cease the fake screaming. Allll boy.)

Benjamin's day is filled with 3 naps - one morning, one afternoon and one super short late-afternoon one that I know he will drop any day now. He sleeps from 7ish - 7ish every night. Benjamin drinks 4 bottles a day and 2 meals of solids.

LOVES:

LUKE!!, Hank, tags on his toys, baths, eating, running errands, playing with Daddy, music, fake screaming, talking, watching Mommy do anything, playing Peek-a-Boo, and (of course) "Abby's Flying Fairy School"

NOT A FAN OF:

church nursery, being on his tummy, not being able to see Mommy, and not getting his way

I know Benjamin, I to am shocked you are 7 months old.

What have we been up to the last few weeks?

Well... 2 weeks ago Luke and Aunt Amanda came to Fort Worth for one last sleepover before Baby Girl gets here. My sister is so fun, easy-going, such an incredible mother. Time with her is so special to me!

Benjamin likes anything involving Luke so they had a grand time playing together.

Luke is such a great helper in the kitchen and helped me make some yummy cookies.

Why does life seem perfect when you have a spatula covered in cookie dough?

We also had a last minute play date with our childhood friend Jocelyn Knochel Boyer. She has two boys - one Luke's age, Levi and one Benjamin's age, Joel. We had a great time catching up and watching all the boys interact. I hope we get together again really soon!

What else have we been up to?

Well... lots of fun in the bath...

playing with tags...

almost mastering holding a sippy cup...

lots of eating...

(and looking precious)

surviving Benjamin's first bad diaper rash... (I was letting things air out) :)

and traveled to Mckinney for a few nights.

Pop put his baseball hat on Benjamin's head and he didn't know how to react. It was so funny because he literally sat statue still not knowing what to do. We were all laughing so hard!

Not to sure what to think of silly Pop.

Pop opened a new office in downtown Mckinney and we all went to see his new digs. It's in such a fun spot on the square. I see many lunch dates in our future. Luke and Benjamin loved playing in his new big office.

Future Actuaries in the making.

Benjamin can't get enough of Luke.

Who knew watching someone (Luke) jump could be so funny?!?

Wow, the last few weeks have been exhausting...

time to stretch out and relax.

Tough life. :)
