Bennett's 3 month pictures

Here are a few of my favorites

New Pictures

Bennett is getting so big I can hardly believe it. I miss him like crazy during the week and look forward to the weekend more then ever before. He loves to flirt with anyone that will give him attention (especially cute girls). His coo's and giggles are more evident every day and he even entertains himself a bit. It's such a joy watching him smile at the world:)

10 weeks

I can't believe Bennett is 10 weeks old (on Thursday 1/22). It seems impossible that so much time has passed. Bennett is starting to show signs of a very happy baby. He smiles and coo's at us more times than not and it literally melts my heart. This is what I have been waiting for. This is why I wanted to become a mother so badly. Bennett has been on medicine now for acid reflux for 2 weeks and is so much happier. Which of course makes Mommy, Daddy, Dixie and Static so much happier. I can't wait to see what the next 10 weeks will bring.

Christmas 2008

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I thought I would share some photos of ours. We were very busy going from one place to another, but it was all worth it to see everyone. Grandma and Grandpa Boege came up from Minnesota and we enjoyed spending time with them. We also spent some time with the Boege side of the family as well as the Starmer side. We pretty much made the rounds. Hard to believe that 2009 is right around the corner. Next year at Christmas I will be the mother of a 13 month old... that seems so hard to believe.

Our First Family Photo

Tonight we went to our first of 6 Christmas celebrations. Bennett was a perfect angel (much to my surprise) and we even managed to snap this great photo. I'm sure it's one of many to come. Wish I would have had it a month ago because I would have made Christmas cards with it. Unfortunetley Christmas cards were not on my priority list this year. Hope all of you have a great holiday with your families.

Happy Holidays

Hello Everyone,

I just realized it's been FOREVER since I did a post so I thought I would jot down what's been going on with us which of course means baby. I need to remember to use this as designed which is a baby book of sorts. We'll Bennett has had a rough past week, but we are hopeful that things are getting better. We discovered that he had a food allergy and was having issues digesting his food which of course made him very unhappy. As of today Bennett is much happier throughout the day, but does get fussy at night. I have read over and over again that this is babies way of releasing fatigue from the day so I am hopeful that this fussy period will pass (quickly). Of course it's always at night around 5:00 and lasts usually until 9:00. Despite all our efforts we can't seem to please him much during this time. I've read that this should get better soon and usually peeks at 6 weeks (which Bennett will be on Christmas) and gets better and better eventually stopping around 12 weeks. It's very hard to deal with when you don't know what your son wants, but I am trying to just expect it and do the best I can. Other than that we are all doing well and we are excited to spend our first Christmas as a family. Hope all is well with you and your family. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Happy Thanksgiving

Bennett got dressed for his very first Husker game. Mommy and Daddy went to the game and Bennett stayed at home with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Jenna. It was hard to leave the little guy even for a short period, but we had tickets and didn't want them to go to waste. It was good to get out, but I missed my little man like crazy!!! Thanksgiving was great and Bennett got to meet all kinds of people and was the life of the party. Even if he did sleep the whole time. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!
