Lily and Benny

We went to Benny's 2 month checkup and found out that he's growing beautifully and is very healthy. He weighs 13 lbs 6 oz putting him in the 75th percentile on weight! All that Mama's milk is doing him some good! He's the cutest little chunk of a baby. He measures at 23 1/4 inches putting him in the 50th percentile on height. I can't believe how fast he's growing! He's gained 6 pounds in almost 3 months. He's changing as fast as he's growing.

Some little tidbits about Benny:
-He loves being talked to, he'll talk back to you and smile real big.
-He loves being naked. Diaper changes and baths are his favorite!
-He had his first real laugh this month. Mommy's heart melted.
-He enjoys playing with toys. He kicks his legs when he's excited.
-He smiles all the time, he's a very happy baby.
-He hold his head up very well and loves to look around to see what is going on.


Here's a video of Benny talking and smiling. Don't mind my high pitched voice in the background.

Lily, Benny, and I took a train ride to Salt Lake for Benny's dr. appointment. I was a little nervous at first but ended up having a great time. Lily was psyched about the ride since we haven't ridden the train since December. It turned out to be fun and we might do it more often so we can meet Daddy after work in Salt Lake.

Have you ever seen a more excited 3 year old?

Benny is enjoying himself too.

Lily's changing a lot lately also. I can't believe she'll be 4 this summer!
-She sings all the time, her favorite songs are the ABC song, pat a cake, and the clean up song.
-She is learning how to write her letters. We've started a huge preschool workbook and she loves to learn new things.
-Lily loves to play with friends. She isn't shy at all anymore and will talk up a storm to just about anyone who will listen.
-Her speech is getting more and more understandable and she learns new words every day.
-She is very good at going to bed at night now. I don't have to sit with her anymore and she doesn't fuss about going to bed at night.
-She loves to be read to and adores the library's story-time. It's her favorite activity of the week.
-She's getting more and more independent and loves to be Mommy's and Daddy's little helper.

Well I'm ready for summer to start, ready to plant a garden and have endless days of playing outside, hiking, biking, and park-days. I'm ready for BBQ's, soaking up the sun, going to the pool, and playing with friends.
