Time for the monthly post...

Well, at least this time I have a good excuse for not posting: we've been in the process of moving! We sold our house in 20 days and had to hurry and find a house- we closed on our house May 4, so we got out the weekend before....facing homelessness (our new house didn't close until May 11), my kind in-laws allowed Nick, me, Bennett. our 2 dogs and (grudgingly) our cat to stay at Chez Andrews for two weeks. Then, after getting into the house last weekend, we turned around on Thursday and flew with Bennett to Wisconsin for my brother-in-laws wedding. The 12 hour each way trek was worth it, and Bennett was a super star! Soon I will be posting pictures (hopefully)

Yes, I know I am a one-trick pony!

Pictures of Bennett

The most awesomest, raddest, smartest, cutest, funniest baby EVER

Is mine. I know some of you may argue with me - most likely those of you who have your own bundles of joy, or nieces, or nephews, or whatever....but you're just wrong. I think I will amend my statement to the most awesomest, raddest, smartest, cutest, funniest baby BOY ever is mine. Then I will just offend half of you.

Maybe some of you are wondering why I rarely "blog"....well, duh, it's because I work all day and then love love love to spend time with the ARSCF baby when I get home, not waste time blogging. But, since above mentioned ARSCF baby is teething and therefore hopped up on baby Tylenol and sleeping, I can just blog about how he's the best baby (boy) ever.

Sense of humor. The kid laughs at everything, and lets everything roll off his shoulders. I don't care how stressed, fussy or hungry the kid is, it's super easy to make him laugh. All other 7 babies at daycare could be screaming and crying, and Bennett will just laugh at God knows what. It's pretty awesome.

He's a boy's boy. Those who know Nick know he's pretty jock-ish (I know, how did this coupling happen?). Well, Bennett, at a mere 6 months, already loves to rough-house. Nick throws him in the air and twirls him upside down and he just squeals with joy.

He sleeps like his mom. Awesome. The most recent sleep schedule is from 8:00 to 6:30. Need I say more?

The little guy loves tummy-time. He's been digging this for a couple of months, but now it's just hilarious, because he's trying so hard to crawl - he looks like special forces, creeping under the barbed-wire.

He's Bennett. That's really enough for me. I can't believe he's 6 months old, although I am of course late at getting him to the doctor. I'll post some new pics soon.

4 month check-up (a month ago)

So, it's become expected at this point that my posts will be few and far between, and will include mostly pictures of Bennett. So why disappoint? I've been meaning to post about Bennett's 4 month check-up, which was almost a month ago now for, well, about a month. He is still freakishly long - 27 inches at 4 months, which puts him in the 98th percentile for length, and size 9 months for sleepers....crazy! He's about 16 lbs and is doing great- rolling over, obsessed with his feet, all that good stuff. While I was gone for a few days this week, he started jumping in his jumper, which is pretty funny, and sitting up on his own for a couple of minutes at a time. He has been eating rice cereal for a couple of weeks now, and he REALLY likes it. Maybe I'll even get around to posting a video. In the meantime, here are some pics:

Best intentions

So, my grand plan for today was to update the blog, along with about a million other things. Unfortunately, it is now 10:17 pm and I am way too tired to post!

Ok Ok Ok

So, I have been harassed enough to finally post after almost two months of being post free. It's not that I didn't want to post, it's just that I took Bennett to Vegas for a couple of weeks in late November, then started back at work December 10th. So much has happened, but instead of droning on and on, I'll just post some pics:

This is Bennett with his Uncle Erik in Vegas on Thanksgiving

Me and Bennett on Christmas Eve - it was all just too much for him

Looking very worried.....
