Teeth?

Bennett has been having a hard time sleeping recently and has also been unusually whiny too. This behavior very uncharacteristic of him. We think this is due to some teeth making an appearance for the first time.. I'm not a dentist, but those two white things look like teeth to me.

Bennett and Santa

Bennett met Santa for the first time. He was not so sure about this big guy in a red suit. However, we were able to get a couple photos without any tears (no smiles though). He decided to wear his Motley Crue t-shirt for this special occasion. Rock on, Bennett, Mom and Dad love you!

Here is another picture I found that I like a lot. Love his eyelashes :)

Recent Pictures

Sooo...it looks like the last time we posted on here was back in October and here it is December and Bennett is coming up on his 7 month birthday - wow!!  It has been a busy few months with Halloween, a family wedding, a vacation, Thanksgiving and now we are getting close to Christmas. I will eventually get to the monthly posts, but here are a collection of my favorite pictures from the last few months.

Giggles

We found out how to tickle Bennett. This game is fun for the whole family!

Days in the Park

We had a few weeks recently where the weather here was beautiful so we tried to spend as much time outside as possible.  This included a trip to the Diag in Ann Arbor as well as a little picnic in the park in our neighborhood.  Bennett LOVES being outside - he gets so excited and really likes watching the leaves move.  I am so not looking forward to the long winter!
