I love the taste of blanket in the morning...

Bennett is going crazy wanting stuff in his mouth, but he can't quite figure out how to keep the items there. After picking up his Eeyore about 10 times, I decided to take a picture.

Christmas Day

Daddy & Bennett Bennett in his new Jumperoo
Oh Boy! What a long day!

Twas the Days Leading up to Christmas

Bennett says: My cousins, Ashley and Michael, visited me. We did lots of fun stuff, like make a gingerbread house! I had a great time because I had someone to carry me around non-stop.
Then, we took a long drive to Houston to spend time with family. I saw my Grandma Karen and my Grandpa Andy and my mom's whole family.
Look at me in my cute sweater vest. I even had matching socks. Unfortunately, I hate any sweaters or coats, so this vest didn't last long.
I also saw my daddy's family. Here is my Aunt Christy, Uncle Steve, and my cousins again.

More Circuit Training...

Bennett was weighed today and he weighs 17 lbs! Wow! Of course, he did have his clothes on, so take away a lb for that. Here is a picture of Bennett doing his favorite part of the Mommy-working circuit-training routine. Can't you tell that Bennett is super-excited that his cousins are coming to visit him tonight? We probably won't be checking back in until after Christmas, so have a Merry One! And hopefully Bennett's Mommy will have a Happy Birthday tomorrow.

First Birthday Party

Bennett went to his first birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. Even though it was a princess party, he enjoyed the bright lights and television screens, which his mommy doesn't allow him to watch at home. Here is a picture of Bennett with the birthday girl's mom, Alma. The birthday girl, Sierrah, wore an awesome Snow White outfit, and had a bunch of fun. Happy Birthday, Sierrah!


Also, Thursday night, the Texans won. A Christmas miracle (oops, did I write that out loud). Bennett "watched" football with Daddy, while Mommy went grocery shopping in peace.

Working while Mommy is working

Bennett decided to blog today...Here's what he had to say: The fun thing about Mommy teleworking is that I can stay in my pajamas all day long! I am finally getting the hang of this activity chair. The box said only for four-month-olds, but what do they know? I'm having a grand time, but my attention span is very short, so I have many different stations to keep me occupied while Mommy works.

Sleeping Through the Night

We were afraid he stopped breathing, so Arty checked him at 4:30; Allyssa checked in on him at 5:30, but alas, he just wanted to sleep until 5:45. Our baby boy slept over 9 hours straight last night. Its our own little Christmas miracle. Hopefully this is a trend that will continue.

Bennett is 3 months old today!


Last night he surprised us by sleeping for 6 hours, waking for a feeding, and then sleeping another 3 1/2 hours. Our boy is growing up. Yes! Here is his picture with Santa, taken the day after Thanksgiving. No line. yippee!
