A Perfect Birthday

For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, For love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

WHAT?!

Bennett's First Experience with the (cold) Ocean

Whyyyy? The humanity...who put these people in charge? All better.

Dear Grandpa Bill

I would like a jet ski for my first birthday. Mommy says you will teach me how to jump the waves while she hides her eyes.

This one is for (uncle) Drew...

I smell bacon. No, seriously, bacon-flavored milk? Anyone?

Surprise!

We surprised Grandaddy for his 80th birthday!

Shower for Shana

Thanks to April for helping me throw a shower honoring Shana -- who is absolutely radiant! John Henry Corbin will be here before we know it and we can't wait to meet him. Shana and Blake - you will be amazing parents!We love you guys!

I Pooped my Pants...

...(and had to wear my aunt's Calvin Klein t-shirt) what'd you do today?

Attitude is a little thing...

...that makes a big difference. - Winston Churchill

Evidence...

...that pregnancy brain...or post-partum brain....happens to men, too.

This is where Dan found the car keys after looking for them for 45 minutes.

I just informed Bennett...

that it's Monday.

Dramatic, much?

The time difference between these two pictures is literally seconds. Dramatic, much? Dan says Bennett comes by it naturally (from his mom, of course).

My Whole Heart

is tied up in this little boy.

Three Months!

Three months, Bennett. I can't believe how fast the time is going. You are the best thing that has ever happened to us and your smile brightens our day every day.
You made the transition to your crib and are loving sleeping through the night! We're so proud of you. The swaddle seems to be key in this -- no swaddle = no sleep. Doesn't this picture make it look like you love your crib? Usually, there's no crying -- and if there is crying when we put you down, it lasts about 45 seconds even though it feels like an hour to me.


We are working on tummy time, but you seemed a little relaxed about the whole process.

You love your time with daddy; and, you have one amazing dad.

You found your hand this month -- and it must be pretty tasty because you rarely let it leave your mouth.

Your cousins came to visit all the way from Pennsylvania!
Oh, did I mention that smile? We can't get enough of your sweetness.


Happy Three Month Birthday, Bennett!

Happy Two Month Birthday, Bennett!

I can't believe it's already been two months. We're so glad we're not trying to get to the hospital today! You sure have a way of bringing around the snow, big boy.
Munson is still trying to figure out what to do with you. We love you so much, Bennett -- happy two month birthday!

It's Been a While

Oh my - how time is flying. Here's the last of the shower pics -- a wonderful couples/friends shower right before lil' man made his appearance.

We are blessed.

More blogging to come as time allows;).
