Baby Benjamin: 16 Weeks!

Weight: Not sure... but thinking 16 pounds or so.
Health: Growing big and strong everyday!
Sleep: Ben is finally back to sleeping through the night!  It is a wonderful thing!  
 Social: This last weekend was super packed with baby showers and birthday parties and Ben enjoyed them all!  And at one of the baby showers Ben got to play with a real life monkey!
Diet: Mommas milk 100% of the time.  We have been meaning to add his one formula bottle a day back in, but with me working and pumping it is just easier to just do momma's milk.
Clothes: If you can believe it, he has started to out grow a couple of his 3-6 month outfits and pj's!  But   the majority of his 3-6 month clothes fit him just fine.
Baby Gear Loves: Ben loves his little Baby Einstein music box!  And he really loves his music. 
Crying: Nothing new... but couldn't help but share this photo!
LOVES:  Ben loves to be tickled under his chin and arms!  He opens his mouth and giggles... the cutes thing ever!
Postpartum:  This is my 3rd week back to work and things are going well.  Still trying to settle into a morning routine, but know it will come in time.  As for the baby weight... only 2-3 pounds away from my per baby weight!  My clothes fit, but I can tell they fit a little different... guess I'll have to start working out... now I just have to find the time!
Milestones:  Nothing too big this week... just getting bigger and stronger by the day!!  He loves to stand and be held upright on your shoulder so he can see the world and be apart of the action!  Can't miss anything!!

Family Beach Photos!

While on our beach vacation this summer we took some family photos!  It was super windy that afternoon/evening so we have the super wind blown look, but other than that they turned out really well!

A local photographer Jessie Patterson did an awesome job and we are very pleased with the photos!!!

Here are some of my favorites!

Beach Vacation!

I have been trying to do this post for the last week now, but just haven't found enough time... so instead I decided to just do a photo dump from our summer beach trip!  We had a blast and look forward to going back when Ben is older so he can join in the fun!  The trip also included a family reunion 10 years in the making!  It was my dads, mom's side... so my grandmother and her 5 sibblings and their families!  I think there were a total of 60 or so total!  Overall we had a fabulous time and made many memories!!!
Ready for take off on Ben's first airplane ride!!
