Alaska, here we come!

Well friends, we are off on our long awaited trip to Alaska! This will be Bennett's first plane ride, so we are a little nervous about that, but we are very excited to see that beautiful state.  I have never been, so this will be a first for me.  I will be sure to share lots of pictures with you when I get back! (especially since Mandy showed me how to switch to the updated version of blogging... MUCH faster pictures uploading and blogging... thank you mandy!)

See you all in about two weeks!

4 Months

I can't believe how time has flown by! My little boy is sooo grown up. I wanted to document a little about what Bennett has been doing in the past little while.

At the Preston Rodeo

Pretty much 4 months to the day he decided to roll over. He is getting very good at it, although he can only roll back to stomach (meaning he can't roll back, so he gets kinda frustrated!). This also means he like to try to roll in the tub (uhhh not good!) and on the changing table... and in the bouncer. So pretty much whenever he is laying on his back we have to watch him really closely!

He smiles a LOT now, although sometimes he just likes to poke out that bottom lip and look around. For those of you who haven't seen that face, it's not a sad one... its just more like hes chunkin' out and enjoying his surroundings haha.

Getting out of the tub

He has started to giggle more and more, but it takes a lot for him to giggle. Some things he finds amusing one day will bore him the next.

He can hold and grab things with his hands so well. He also has these monkey toes and can grab things with them!

He loves to stand up. He's got very strong legs and could stand up for hours, although we recently got a little toy saucer/jumper/thingy that he likes, so now he likes to jump.

He has recently discovered his feet. He likes to grab and hold onto them. Oh and pretty much everything goes into his mouth.

He can hold his own bottle! He loves his food, and he totally knows when its coming. He starts kicking super hard or jumping up and down, then he grabs the bottle and brings it to his mouth. Let me tell you, this definitely makes getting ready for church MUCH easier. We have 8:30 church and it is NOT easy when you have to feed a baby for a long period of time... especially if you like to sleep in... :D

He likes to have his eyes on me at all times. If I walk out of his line of sight he kinda freaks out. In a way, I love that he misses me, but I know that it won't be so cute in a little while!

He sleeps SOOO well at night. Most nights he sleeps about 10-12 hours. He's always been a really good sleeper though, I guess I just got lucky!

Size wise, hes still pretty little, but I think he gets bigger everyday! He is 33% for weight and 46% for height. I thought he would be super tall, just because I am 5' 11" and Bry is 6' 1", but I asked the doctor and he said sometimes with tall parents, they have a delayed growth. Once the hit 2 or so, they will all of a sudden grow a ton.

Needless to say, I LOVE this little angel. He is so sweet, so cuddly and so adorable! Oh and did I mention he has blue eyes? :D
