Four Months Old

I just cannot believe that it has been four months since Ben has come into our lives. On one hand, it feels like he has always been here, but on the other, I can't believe how fast he is growing! Time is just flying by. While having a baby is a lot of work, it never ceases to amaze me how my love grows for him each day. Motherhood is truly a joy.

Okay, enough of my gushing and more about Benjamin. He now weighs 15.8pounds which is the 70th percentile for his age and is 25 3/4 inches long, 50th percentile. He is constantly rolling over and has more head control now. Each day I do a little circuit with him to keep him entertained.

First to the activity mat...we try to do tummy time, but it usually ends up with Ben being a little roly-poly.

Then on to the BeBe Pod...

And of course we can't leave out the swing...

But Benjamin's favorite toy of all.....HIS FEET!!!!

Each night Brad and I take turns reading Ben. He is just now starting to be interested in it...or I keep telling myself that. (Even if he does look like he is in PAIN in this picture...)

One of these days I'm going to do a post on my favorite or "must have" baby items. This is my favorite at the moment--the BabyBjorn! As you can see, it is Ben-approved, too!

Brad and I miss you all. I'd appreciate it if you could keep my Gran in your thoughts and prayers. She goes in for surgery on October 6 to remove cancer that has reappeared. She is the cornerstone of my family and we wish her a speedy recovery.

Love,
