Sweet "B" turns 5 months!

Time continues to fly and Bennett continues to grow! His personality continues to come out more and more every day. He is the happiest baby and so easy going. The only time he gets worked up is meal-time or if he is over tired. He loves to eat his rice cereal, sweet potatoes and squash. He wasn't too fond of bananas so we'll have to try those again in the future. Recently if you are eating in front of him he opens and shuts his mouth and looks at you like..."hey don't forget me!"

Striking a "sexy" pose
He has a smile that melts my heart and is IN LOVE with his sister. They are such great friends and she is the biggest helper. He sits up on his own, loves to play with his toys and just like his sister talks up a storm. He also has started working on his first tooth.

While there are so many similarities between him and Ava...they are so very different as well. He is not an idle baby! Ava would just sit and play and entertain herself for hours....Him not so much. He is so physical and loves to explore, grab, pull you name it. We never had to "baby proof" the house with Ava...but this won't hold true for this little rascal. Life will sure be interesting when he gets mobile.

We've had a fun and very busy month.
Here are a few highlights.

At Ava's soccer game...BRR it was cold!

Once again...his sister found him some interesting hats to try on... 1st a baby bonnet, then he was a scarecrow.

Fall Festivities

Fall is one of our favorite as well as busiest times of year. This year it is extra special as we have two sweet pumpkins to celebrate it with. We waited for the perfect fall weather to arrive and headed to one of our favorite farms...Southern Belle Farms in McDonough. After a brief fit...Ava finally simmered down so we could get some pictures. She picked out a baby pumpkin then we decided on a nice big one for Ava & Bennett to share. Here are some pictures from our chilly day.

The next weekend, while Uncle Chris came for a visit we decided to carve our pumpkin. Daddy wanted to get all "fancy" this year, so he and Ava picked out a nice complicated cat to carve. 3 hours later and a very sore back...we had a finished product. It turned out great if I must say so myself.

Oh and now that the holidays are approaching there are so many fun opportunities to dress them alike. Here are my sweet pumpkins in their Halloween Pj's.

Happy 4 months Bennett!!!!

Our sweet baby boy is 4 months old today! He continues to grow and thrive, and every day is a new adventure. He is the happiest baby, and he continues to sleep well through the night, talks up a storm, loves to play in his exersaucer and rolls around front/back when he's on the floor playing with his toys. He is so close to sitting up by himself and would stand all day if you let him. He has quite the temper, especially when it comes to meal time! He got to try rice cereal last week, and did very well. He kept looking down at the bowl to make sure there was more coming his way. Even though he is only in the 50% for weight, because of his length he is in 6-9mo clothes. Here are some pics from our busy month!
My Georgia boys

We were outside and Ava ran to her play drawer and pulled out two sets of sunglasses...one for her and a stylish red/white & blue pair for B...poor thing, but he didn't mind at all and left them on! Time for cereal...can you tell he is hungry!

He kept trying to shove more in between the spoon.

Once again, we are so thankful for our healthy & happy babies. We look forward to sharing some upcoming fall pics with everyone soon! Thanks for stopping by!
