Another Month Older



How cute is this 4 month old boy?! He's had a busy month and he's getting busier and bigger by the day!

Some highlights from his last month:
  • dropped his 10:00 feeding so now his last bottle is between 7-8. That means everyone under the age of 4 is in bed by 8:00 and we can enjoy the peace and quiet!
  • celebrated his first spring break!:)
  • went to his first KU pep rally and even more exciting watched the Jayhawks make it to the Sweet 16
  • been able to "play" outside and enjoy this nice spring weather
  • laughed for real, out loud at me singing to him (probably because I'm not a great singer!)

Each month it's more of the same...Ben is an easy baby, blah, blah. But he really is! Our cousins met him over spring break and their comment was that they thought that their baby, Mary Grayson, was laid back and then they met Ben! My only complaint about him at this moment is that he seems to want to drop his evening nap but he becomes fidgety and wants to be held. Unfortunately it's during dinner prep and eating so he's learning that his needs aren't going to be met immediately...that's the breaks for being the 3rd born!!

We go to the doctor next week for his well check and I'll be anxious to see how he's grown. He's still a really big boy and I have people comment almost daily on his size. A lady told me today that he might be a football player!:)

Ben Ben (as Mags calls him) is awesome. If you haven't gotten to meet him, you're missing out on some good snuggling and a sweet smile. He definitely is a loved baby boy!

A Busy Spring Break

After a full week last week, we are back into our normal routine. We had a great spring break. We got to play at Mimi and PopPop's, see Grandma Waggoner and our cousin, Elyse, meet our newest cousin, Mary Grayson and see her mommy and daddy, Sarah and Marvin, play with Kamryn and Elizabeth and end the week with cheering for the Jayhawks. Busy and fun!

Pizza dinner with Kamryn and Elizabeth

Kamryn is thrilled to have another
boy in the family!

Maggie's first manicure - blue polish with glitter

Kate is a pro at manicures - pink polish with glitter

What's a trip to Mimi and PopPop's without
a visit to Sweet and Sassy?!
Ben and Mary Grayson - they
are 3 days apart (yes, Ben is that
much bigger than MG!)
Loving on Elyse and Great Grandma
Always find time to eat at Mi Cocina!
They rarely sit still long enough to get all
5 of them together!
So excited to be going to the KU pep rally
Beyond excited to meet the cheerleaders -
although I think Clark could have cared less!

Kate, Caroline and Baby Jay - it's fuzzy
because Baby Jay was in a hurry
