Happy 6 Months Bennett!!

I can't believe that Bennett is 6 months old today!! We went to dinner last night to celebrate his birthday with Grammy, Poppy, Aunt Sherry, Uncle Matt, Mason and Emma...and then headed to Grammy and Poppy's house for cake and presents! While posing for some pictures with his cake, Bennett decided to "go all in" and stick his hands right in the frosting! He then got the icing all over Emma! It was pretty funny! Bennett loved his birthday gifts! Grammy and Poppy gave him a fantastic sweater and a book, and Aunt Sherry, Uncle Matt, Mason and Emma gave Bennett a book and some finger paints! We are definitely finger painting this weekend! Bennett has his 6 month doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon, so I will be sure to post his stats when I have a second! Happy Birthday "Baby B!!" Here are some pictures from tonight and from the party yesterday!

Bennett's sign didn't last very long....

What a big boy! He is really good at sitting up!

Sweet smile.

"Happy birthday to me!"

Happy 6 months to Bennett and Emma! Emma turned 6 months 4 days ago!

Opening presents. Bennett loves his "Belly Button Book."

He also apparently loves eating tissue paper.

With his great new sweater.  He has a matching hat, too!

22 weeks! First trip to the zoo!!

What a weekend! Bennett went to the pool twice and visited the zoo for the first time! Friday night we went to our friend Joey's pool and hung out with friends! The water was nice and warm and Bennett had a great time swimming. Sunday Bennett, Matt and I went with Aunt Sherry, Uncle Matt, Mason and Emma to the Kansas City Zoo and the weather couldn't have been more perfect! Bennett was asleep for the beginning of the visit but woke up just in time for the ferry ride to the Africa part of the zoo. We saw rhinos, zebras, giraffes, hippos, elephants and lots of turtles! We took a lot of great pictures too...which you will notice below...it was just way to hard to choose which ones to post! When we got home, Bennett took a nap and then we headed to Grammy and Poppy's pool in the afternoon! The water was pretty cold, so we hung out in the baby pool. Bennett loves "jumping" off the side of the pool and even splashes in the water. I really want to take a baby swim class with him when he is older. He was even kicking his feet! Bennett was so worn out from his exciting Sunday that he didn't wake up this morning until 4:30am! Woo hoo!!! I captured A LOT of smiles from Benny Boy this week...so enjoy the pics!!

So sweet.

Eating his shirt...I love his feet in this pic. There are a lot of great pics from his photo shoot.

He was cracking up!

Fun on the floor.

"Jumping" into the pool with Daddy. He laughs a lot when you count "1, 2, 3" before he jumps in.

So much fun!

We experienced Bennett's first time with "bed head" over the weekend! He looked SO cute!!

He looks like such a stud.

Dressed and ready for the zoo in his tiger outfit!

Mason, Emma and Bennett in front of the elephants. Emma and Bennett were zonked out!

The ferry ride was awesome. You could see the animals in the exhibits from the boat.

Family shot.

In front of the hippo exhibit...but they are under water.
