Tonight we gave Ben his first taste of Rice Cereal. We put two tablespoons in his bottle before bedtime. I must say he really liked it. I hope this will help him start consistantly sleeping through the night. I weighed him today (as best I could) and I think he weighs around 18 pounds! Can you believe it? He will turn 4 months old this coming Friday... on his Uncle Thomas's birthday. Wish us luck that there is truth to everyone telling us Rice cereal will help him sleep. :-)

My Aunt Niki Loves Me!
Monday, October 6, 2008
Aunt Niki bought Ben his first pumpkin shirt. Thank You Aunt Niki! The only really good shot I got of him was in his changing table on the pack n play. I also got a shot of him when Mom was holding him. Yes, I've already bought his Haloween costume.... but you MUST WAIT. I will post some pictures of him in his costume closer to Haloween (and whenever I get enough time to get him dressed and have the camera ready). But for now, this SUPER CUTE shirt will be great for him to wear all month.

Stroller
So now that it's getting a little chilly in the mornings, I'm having to bundle up the baby. We had a nice stroll in his new umbrella stroller. We also sit out on the deck on most mornings and I keep his little Pooh hat on him. What a charmer!
Alabama Good Luck Charm
Saturday, October 3, 2008
I knew it. Ben is the lucky charm for the Crimson Tide! Ben LOVES to watch football with his Dad. In turn, Michael loves to watch football with his son and get a few laughs in too. Here is a shot of Michael trying his Alabama cap on the baby. TOO CUTE.

Grandparents Visit
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27
Ben got a visit from his grandparents this weekend! I don't know who was more excited, Ben or my Mom and Dad. We had lots of fun singing, squealing, laughing and bouncing Ben on our knees (riding the pony). Here are a few of my favorite snapshots of the weekend.

Watching Football with Dad
SEPTEMBER 17,2008
So Ben has already learned to LOVE watching football with his Dad. I'm in my third week back to work. I must admit it has been challenging (yes, I've shed many tears), but my company has been great and has agreed to let me work from home three days a week. In light of this we decided to hire a nanny. We have to give the daycare 2 weeks notice (which we did this week) and can't wait to have Ms. Hapgood (Ingrid) start caring for Ben on Sept. 29th. As a mom, I'm so excited I will get to see Ben more and truly only be away from him 2 days a week!
Ben's latest tricks: He has discovered his tongue! He loves to stick it out a lot. It really cracks me up. Also he used his bouncer in the doorway for the first time. I still think he is a little small for it, but it won't be long before he is jumping away!

Sitting in Bumbo seat
SEPTEMBER 1, 2008
Ben sat up in his bumbo this week for the first time. His neck is really strong now so he can hold his head up a little longer. He is still a little bit of a bobble head though! He also rolled over for the first time this past week. He was on a flat pillow and decided he wanted to be closer to mommy while she was folding laundry. I was surprised, so I put him back on the pillow... and sure enough he did it again. I go back to work tomorrow and am a very, very, very sad mommy.
