Holy Cereal!

Today was a big day for Bennett - he had cereal for the first time!! He LOVED it and couldn't get enough! Bennett was pulling my hand and spoon into his mouth and even grabbed the bowl a couple of times. I'm not sure how much cereal actually made it to his mouth, but there was a good amount all over Bennett, the table, Bennett's bumbo chair and his bib! After Bennett was all cleaned up, we spent some time playing on the floor...and Bennett got a chance to bond even more with Minnie. It was a good thing that tonight was bath night! Here are some pictures from this fantastic event! What a great night!

"Hey...what's this bib thing?"

Finger lickin' good!!

Big boy!

Licking his fingers...again!

....and his bib.

So happy! He LOVED his cereal!

I don't think I was going fast enough...

Big bite!

Delicious.

He was really upset when it was all gone.


What a messy guy!

Petting Minnie...

Minnie seriously loves Bennett.

More pets.

Bennett was trying to get Minnie's nose into his mouth....

Success!

Bennett discovered my cell phone tonight and likes that it lights up.

Smiles.

24 weeks!

24 weeks?! Where has the time gone? Bennett has really been sitting up a lot lately and is learning how to react once he begins to fall over. He is getting so strong and constantly amazes us by doing something new pretty much every day. The weather wasn't the greatest this weekend, so we spent a lot of time indoors playing. We did get time to enjoy an early morning walk to the local neighborhood shops to grab some breakfast though. Bennett also enjoyed a fun night with Grammy and Poppy Saturday night while Matt and I went on a date! Here are a few pictures from this week!

In his exersaucer...he recently discovered this apple and loves to chew on it.

Bouncing around.

What a darling!

Bennett loves playing with his new ball.

Play time!

The t-shirt says it all.

Woo hoo!

23 weeks! Busy boy!


What a weekend for Bennett! Grandma and Grandpa Wertzberger were in town, so we got to spend a lot of time with them. Saturday, Uncle Pat and Aunt Jen had a party at their house, so we spent the day there and got a time to visit with family and friends. Bennett got to hang out with his friend Gabby, too! Gabby ( 2 and a half years old), who will be a big sister in October, has decided that she would like her Mommy and Daddy to name her soon-to-be little sister "Baby Bennett." So cute! Sunday afternoon we went to the pool with Mason and Emma. Bennett played in the baby pool in his yellow raft! As soon as I put him in the raft he took off!! He walked all over the pool by himself! It was so fun to watch and luckily I caught some of it on video! He was so proud of himself. We also played in the big pool and Bennett got to "jump" off the side of the pool with Mason. It was a great afternoon of swimming! I can't wait to take him again this weekend!

Let's see...what else is new with Bennett... Bennett has started to sit up by himself! He supports himself with his arms right now but sometimes will even sit without help. It's pretty amazing how he caught on so quickly. Bennett is still enjoying a lot of floor time...which you will see in the pictures below. He is doing great and is changing everyday! We are excited to take him to his 6 month checkup in a couple weeks. Enjoy the pictures from this week!!!

Good morning! Bennett wakes up in such a great mood!


He still loves playing with his feet and putting them in his mouth.

Face off with Roxy!

Tummy time on Mommy and Daddy's bed.

It has been a long time since I have posted bath pictures! Thought we could use some! :)

Bennett LOVES bath time!

He looks adorable in his cars!

Bennett has been kicking his legs back and forth like crazy! He has the crawling moves down...just needs to figure out what to do!

What a smile!

He was having a blast!
