Bare Bottomed Baby

Benson LOVES TO BE "Bare Naked." A few nights ago I was getting Baby ready for bed....I took of his clothes and diaper....left him on the floor....ran to get some clean pj's and this is what I found...........................A "Bare Bottomed Baby" I'm very, very, very, very....lets just say very lucky he rolled over to play because when I picked him up to diaper and pj him....he had wet the blanket!!! This is becoming a trend. Benson just had his 6month check up and also peed on the Doc. It was so funny.

p.s.Benson is doing great. He is back to 20lbs 11oz (which is where is was at 4months, he got sick and lost 4lbs and finaly gained it back). He is 28 1/2 inches long and still growing. We are happy that he is happy.

The Quiet Book Mess

This project has been a long time waiting. I have always wanted to make a quiet book for my children. Now I can!! Over the last few years I have been collecting material/scraps from many people. The idea to make a book popped into my head a few days ago and this is what our living room turned into....a quiet book mess. With fabric, papers, cutting boards, scissors, and a baby everywhere it was time to get down to business. I started by drawing on paper what I wanted on the pages. Then i cut out the material I wanted and set it on the paper so that i could keep it organized. From here I have started to sew the pages. It is so exciting to see the pages come together. More pictures are to come as the book comes together. Wish me luck!!

He eats ANYTHING!

Benson has decided that whatever is in his view he eats. If it's in your hand he wants it, if its sitting beside him he wants it, if it makes noise he loves it and where do you think those things go....right to his mouth! Benson will chew on anything. Blankets, shoes, cell phones and even marshmallow bags!! (don't worry I don't let him have for too long!! the bag of course)

Some of Benson's Buddies

These are just a few of Benson's Buddies. If you have any pictures of yourself and Benson please email them to us. We would love to add then to his collection. We love you all and are so grateful you are part of our Family.

Becoming a TREND....

This seems to happen alot lately. The boys will fall asleep just about anywhere. It doesn't even have to be comfortable. It started out with Max telling Benson stories. Max slowly stops talking and then falls asleep. Benson continues to talk to himself and puts himself to sleep. What silly boys!

My BOYS!!

Something is wrong with this picture!! The big boy is on the small couch and the little boy is on the big couch! Benson won the fight I think!

p.s. TWO DAYS IN A ROW.....Benson has put himself to sleep. This is great news. He doesn't need to be rocked to sleep everytime he is tired! This means more time for mom to make her crafts! Yipee.

Yummy Chicken Noodle Soup

Max and I were invited to a friends house for dinner and this is what they made. We liked it so much that we had it for sunday dinner that same week. Homemade chicken noodle soup is the best. I don't think I will ever eat it from a can again, well maybe once we have more kids we will! This was easy to make. (It took a tiny bit of time but it is worth it) I used a knife to cute the strips but next time I think I will use a pizza cutter.(That was mom's idea!) If anyone wants the recipe just ask and you shall recieve!
