Bennett's 3 Month Pictures

My little guy sure can melt my heart and make me smile in a New York minute! 

{ LOVE HIM TO BITS & PIECES }

ONE OF OUR FAVORITES!
 ... And the other FAVE!
.... And another FAVE!
... and another!
.... and another!
Well, they are all my FAVES! As this is OUR sweet lil' man ;)
I told you those BABY BLUES are KILLERS! 
I'm sure they will make all the girls melt someday soon... but for now they melt  ME ;)

Summer Nights

These summer nights we are having us a Blast! 
We can feel them slipping away, but we as a family are taking full advantage! Loving every minute of playing in our mini pool, taking walks, and playing in the front yard!



Blowing Mommy some of those SWEET SWEET baby KISSES!

MUAH!




I adore her lil' Pony! So sweet!

This lil' handsome man sure does have some killer baby blues!

Splashing, Sliding, and New Friends

A couple weeks ago we headed out to Splash to join some family friends of ours who were in town. We went with Lala, Caden, his Mom (Erica), and Susan ( Caden's Grandma). Our families met through baseball and we all got along great. We were so excited to get together, since we had not seen each other in years! We have a few things in common with our kiddos.  Arrington and Caden are two weeks apart and our two little ones, Bennett and Ava are exactly 6 weeks apart. We are some busy Momma's! We had my Nana, Kerri, and Niles watch the little ones while we went to have some "fun time"! Guess you could say each baby had a little "mini date"! ha!


Arrington gets SO excited when she sees where we are!
New Buddies!
 Splishin' & Splashin'
It's so funny! Caden was off doing lil' boy things, like playing with the water guns and the steering wheels, while "Miss Priss" was prancing around in her 'kini checking everyone out ;)
Oh, the difference between lil' boys and girls!

 Taking a lil' drink break!
 It can wear a girl out sliding down all those slides and prancin' around!

 When we got back they actually played more "together".
There was lots of knocking things over...

 ...giving kisses...
 ... & hugs...
... should I be worried!?! Nah, I don't think until next year ;)

Btw, they were hugging and they actually took each other out. Both falling and hitting their heads on the wall. We then had two crying sweet babies. Dag-gummit!

Picasso

Looks like we have a mini Picasso on our hands! Finger painting was a success with this sweet girl and she created a beautiful masterpiece. Well, we at least think so ;). This 1st artwork is going into her keepsake box!

I wanted to add these in of her cute lil' pony from that morning! 

 Getting started and loving thinking of the mess she's about to make
 Must squish in hands before getting started ;)

 Having a cartoon and binki break from all her hard work

 Back at it again!
 I think Mommy's going to have a mess to clean up!
The FINAL masterpiece! 
Arrington crumbled it up at the end to add a nice artistic flair... hehe

Bon Appetit

Bennett had his first delicious taste of "food" August 9th, and he loved just about every minute of it. Let's just say Mr. Chunk was more than ready. He was pretty much salivating everytime we sat down to eat and throwing the biggest fits ;). I'm sure the aromas of our food were smelling pretty darn good to him and awaking those baby "senses" of his. We started him off on organic brown rice and he took it down like a champ. On the 14th, we added some bananas into his diet and I'm pretty sure he is in HEAVEN! We can't get it in fast enough! He will sometimes grab my hand to force the spoon in. Chunker Chunk! 
"the anticipation" of those first bites ;)


Hmmmm, not so bad!



A little "wink" for Mommy Dearest ;)


Loving EVERY second!


Whoa, Daddy! Stop with the pictures already!
Now you guys have made me mad! 
But, oh so adorable!
I think it's time for a burp! Now will you please pick me up to do so!?!
Bennett now sits in the "big boy" chair, if his sister isn't occupying it ;)

Here he is before his cereal and delicious bananas!!
 
These 'naners are my favorite MOM!
Tasty 'naner fingers!
