Adventure

I've always looked forward to the weekends but now it's more than ever. I love hanging out with my little guy on Saturdays and Sunday's and look soo forward to that quality time. Tonight we went to Uncle John's 50th birthday party and everyone commented on how much Bennett has changed. I see him everyday so I have to put it into perspective and realize that indeed he is growing like a weed. Bennett was a great sport even though we had him out past bedtime and was a model baby:) Trying to show off in front of others.... I see how it's going to be. I truly can't complain as Bennett is really a good baby overall. Sure he cries from time to time, but overall he is a happy go lucky little man. I am so blessed to have such a precious son and one that has made Mom's life easy for the most part.

Sorry!

Sorry that it has been so long since my last post. I really don't know where the days, weeks, month etc go! Bennett is growing like a weed and everyday is a new adventure. He is such a good little boy and entertains himself (and us) really well. We are finally in a routine (or at least I think) with regard to bedtime. Bennett usually sleeps at least 8 hours at night now and sometimes longer. That is obviousley a HUGE milestone and one we have been waiting for. I think I am finally confident enough to write it down in hopes that we won't revert back to waking up in the middle of the night to eat. I love watching him smile and giggle at the world and it truly melts my heart to watch him interact with people. It seems like everyday he is learning something new and it's so exciting to see life through his eyes. It's so hard to believe that he is over 3 months now and I know that in a blink of an eye he will be walking and talking before my eyes. I try and cherish the everyday moments as much as possible knowing that they will slip by like the many years that have already.

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.
