Growing Babies


Our babies are growing so fast! The littlest monkey is the size of a navel orange, according to the baby book, and Benjamin Bear is starting to push up on his hands and knees and keeps wanting to pull himself up on things. Augh! He also has some teeth coming in! I can see tooth shapes through his gums but nothing is poking out just yet. I'm sure it won't be long and he'll be crawling around chewing on the furniture.

Last week's doctor appointment went well. It was just a quick check up but we got to hear the baby's heart beat! Strong and healthy. :) We have two check ups in May, one regular and one to find out whether baby is a boy or girl! So excited! And then we'll know how much we need to save. More if it's a girl, less if it's a boy. haha!

We got to spend this past week in Caldwell! Poor Benjamin definitely got his daddy's allergies (can those be inherited?) and he loves to watch animals! He shrieks and laughs when the dogs come near or lick his feet. He did not get that from me! I was terrified of animals at his age. We also got some super cute pictures of him in the bluebonnets with his cowboy hat on (thank you, Dana!).

This is a cute video from the other day. Chris was providing Benjamin with some after dinner entertainment! Chris would juggle for a minute and then stop and start again. Every time he stops you can see Benjamin opening and closing his hand, his way of saying he wants more!

That laugh is precious! I also like his way of showing he wants more. So cute!

I just love hearing the little baby laugh! Ben is so cute and seems ready to take on Texas! The Blue Bonnet photo is my favorite! Give him a kiss from Aunt Carlita!
