I'm a little behind on my picture taking, but I finally snapped a few to celebrate Bennett's four month birthday. He is now 12 lbs. 5 oz and 23 3/4 inches long. He has grown and developed so much over the past month--I'm amazed at how quickly the time goes! In the last month, he has found his toes, grabs (especially hair) and chews (he loves to eat his bib) everything, and he loves to stand. Our pediatrician thinks he'll go right to walking, and she says he is very strong. We're still waiting for that first true giggle. He is starting to roll on his side and sometimes uses the sides of his toys to help him get there. He is still very alert, watches and observes everything, and smiles and talks ALL the time! I love this stage of his life--he's so much fun to be with. And he is usually very content and rarely cries. We are so blessed to have this wonderful, sweet little boy in our lives!
Bennett was very excited to give me his card and gifts! Of course, the cards from Bennett and my husband made me cry! It is just so amazing to have something so wonderful to celebrate today! After all the disappointing mother's days that passed while trying to get pregnant, today is that much more special!
Me and my baby boy! He had to wear his I Love Mommy outfit today! I received a gift certificate to get a massage and a new rose bush to plant in my garden to remind me of my very first mother's day!
On Friday, I received my first Mother's Day gifts from Bennett! He made me a flower pot decorated with his handprints and thumbprints that were made into ladybugs. The card he made was different colored handprints made into a flower bouquet--How cute is that?? The daycare ladies said he had so much making them--he would laugh and smile while they painted his hands--except the day they did the card. He was fine until they changed the paint color--he must not have liked the color they did because he started crying :-(
