Baby Bjorn

Here is a cute picture of Bennett testing out the Baby Bjorn:

Two Months Old

Bennett had his two month doctor's appointment this week and he sure has grown.  His current weight is 12lbs, 14 oz (75th percentile) and his current length is 22.5 inches (25th percentile).  For anyone unsure what the percentiles mean (I didn't understand it until recently), it means he is heavier then 75% of the babies his age and only longer then 25% of babies his age.  So basically, he is short and chubby right now!  But he is happy and healthy and that is all that matters.

Bumbo

We tried out the bumbo (blue chair) today. Bennett seems to be enjoying himself here and everything was going great...

Then out of the blue, he got a little sick on the new outfit we just put on....

This is when Bennett went from happy to sad, we will try the bumbo another day.

Fourth of July

We celebrated July 4th at Kim's parents cottage on Little Wolf Lake.  Kim's sister Angela was in town from Texas with her husband John and kids, Lauren and Zach.  Zach spent most of the day playing in the lake with other kids while the rest of us just relaxed and watched the water.  It was a gorgeous day!

It must be tough to be the center of attention ALL the time!

Reno and Bodie playing with the KONG

There is a crib out at the lake that was my Great Uncle Ron's when he was a baby.  We took pictures of B in it at Memorial day and then again on the fourth.  You can definitely tell he has gained a few lbs -check out how much bigger his head looks!

 

Higgins Lake

We made our first trip up to Higgin's lake over the 4th of July weekend.  It was quite a big weekend for Bennett since he hasn't spent more then one night away from our house.  He did a great job though even with all the parties and fireworks.

The whole gang

I think Melissa is in love.  

We also had an impromptu family photo session at the lake that turned out pretty good.  I love how Bennett is smiling at Joe.  He sure loves his Dad!!

The biggest "first" of the weekend would have to be Bennett getting his feet wet in the lake.  You can tell from the pictures that he isn't quite ready to dive in on his own.  To be fair though the water was only 65 degrees so it was pretty cold in his little baby feet.
