I'm not very good at this...


I started this to keep my friends and family updated on Ben but I"m not doing a very good job :( oh well.

It's been 2 months and so much has happened. We have all moved in with Grand-mama and Papa (that's Christie's parents), Jeff continues to look for work in ths awful economy, Christie takes care of Ben, and Ben is growing so fast we can hardly believe it.

At Ben's last doctor's appointment he weighed in at almost 17 pounds and has grown to almost 25 inches. He had to get more shots which Mommy hates but he did so good and only cried a little.

We have started him on solid foods, starting with rice cereal which he loves and he has tried squash but had a little reaction to it so no more for now. He has learned to roll over from his back to his tummy, he can also roll from his tummy to his back but it's still a little hard for him. He is also teething, he's getting 2 teeth in the bottom middle of his mouth and loves to chew on anything we give him.

He went swimming for the first time on Tuesday May 26 at Aunt Amber's new house. He liked the water and was splashing and kicking his legs but got cold after 10 minutes and needed a break.

This picture is from the last doctor visit. (Before the shots.)
