Bennett five months

Bennett was five months on August 21. He is almost 18 pounds. He is loving eating solid food.  So far he has had cereal bananas apples and sweet potatoes and squash. We are making his food just like we did for Tyler it is fun to see him try new things. He is such a happy guy. Smiling all the time. He loves to be outside and swing. He is doing better on going for walks. The other night we buckled him in the wagon and Tyler pulled him around it was fun. He loves Tyler so much she is so great with him she can make him laugh full bellylaughs it is hilarious just melts my heart. He is moving everywhere. He gets up on all fours but doesn't army crawling and can make it all over the floor very fast.  He was sitting on his own and just this last week he started sitting up on his own from a laying position. He still wants to eat through the night but he is such a big boy he is hungry. I am back in school and it is the hardest thing leaning that sweet smile every morning. I race home to get to them every day. Devon tells me next year I can stay home I can't wait. 

Lake Michigan vacation

We went the last week in July to Lake Michigan for a few days up in long beach Michigan city Indiana. This was our first big trip with Bennett and his first official vacation. He doesn't love the car so it was kind of a long drive. However we only had to stop a couple times. We made it and it was beautiful there. We stayed in a house with the Polczinski's and nonna and Papa Carly Braden and Chelsea. Tyler was at Bellas side every minute she could. Those girls played and played. Tyler wanted to do everything Bella did to wearing her clothes her pajamas in following her everywhere. We spent some time at the beach the water looks like the ocean with waves and everything.  We would go for morning walks and look at the beautiful beach homes. We also would go swimming at the pool in our resort area. We spent one afternoon playing at their awesome playground. We stayed at the beach walk resort which was very nice. We came home late Tuesday evening. The next day Wednesday was my 28th birthday. It was a great day waking up at home with my sweet family. We just played at home and spend time together it was wonderful. Devon and I were leaving Friday morning before the current river at Jack's fork to go on our float trip with my family. I miss my kids like crazy when we leave that I can't wait till they can go along. 

Bennett four months

Bennett was four months on July 21. He is Weighing about 16 pounds. He is a big boy. He had his next round of shots at the doctor he hated them but we all survived. He is eating constantly so the doctor told us we could start trying to spoonfeed him some cereal. He isn't really caring to show interest in the spoon so we are going to wait a few weeks to try it.  The doctor said he is the length of a nine month old about 27 inches and the weight of a seven month old. He is moving onto 6 to 12 month clothing. It has been so wonderful adding this sweet boy to our family!

4th of July

We had a great month of July it was a very busy but so much fun. 4 July weekend we had family here and Tyler loved it. Bella and Lily were here we went swimming at Emmas and celebrated Bella and Lily's birthday parties. Lily got to stay a few days with Martha so we had a packed agenda for a few days playing with Emma andBella. We went to the splash park one morning then to monkey Joe's it was a blast. Tyler went on every jumping thing with the girls she was fearless. She loves being with the big girls.
