Benjamin's Growing - 6 months old!

Well, Benjamin got his first tooth, two weeks ago right around his 6 month birthday. He is working on the other one drooling on everything and putting everything in his mouth!

He has started solids and loves carrots, squash, green beans, cereal and avocado. He is not as crazy about sweet potatoes and bananas. I have been making my own baby food which has proven a fun adventure as I have had a lot of time around the house recovering. It is not as hard as I thought it would be and pretty fun! He is a great eater which makes it even more fun!

mmm, carrots!!

We are not sure why but he was not crazy about his high chair at first so we tried just sitting him in Bryce's lap then he did some crazy backwards moves on us. It did not stop him he kept eating upside down!!

Our first Baylor Game

We tailgated on Saturday for our first Baylor game this fall. We missed seeing the Austin Ericksons, but we still had a great time especially Bryce for he got to go to the GUT PACK SHAK!!! Something he has been dreaming about for months. Yum, Yum!!Thanks to Big Daddy we got to go the the game in style in his box. This really comes in handy when it is torrential raining outside!! Benjamin loved the game especially the band. We went to see them practice and when they stopped he cried! He loves his music.

After 3 hours of getting loved on by lots of family and friends and cheering on the Bears to a victory Benjamin was sacked out and we set up a "crib" of sorts made out of the couch and pillows so Benjamin could sleep, for it was way past his bedtime. He fought it so hard but finally gave in ...

My New Shoes

I forgot to include this on the last blog. Here are Benjamin's new shoes they are pretty cute. They are brown with blue cars on them!

My First Day of Mother's Day Out

This was a hard one for me- especially because since my surgery I have had limited time loving on my little Benjamin, but we were signed up and it ended up being good to have time to get some things done without Benjamin.

This is his classroom welcome sign at Northway Christian Church.

Here is his little classroom. It was a cold day for Dallas in September and Benjamin's newest trick is to want to march or try to walk while holding our hands, so he needed some new shoes for "school".

Here I am picking Benjamin up- he got a GOLD star and a sticker that said he did Fantastic and his mood was very happy on his parent form - yeah for Benjamin!

Cooking with Daddy

Cooking with Daddy

Benjamin and Bryce were so sweet and cooked homemade soup and spaghetti for our family last weekend. We have been blessed with so many meals, cards, help with Benjamin but those run out soon and Bryce wanted to be prepared for the Fall. Benjamin LOVED being a part of the action in the kitchen.
Here are all the yummy vegetables - Mommy's favorite!

My Chef of a Husband - thank you Bryce!!
