Ben and Gwyn

Ben and I traveled to Georgia last week to visit Megan and her 20 month old daughter, Gwyneth. Although I wasn't able to capture it all in pictures, Ben and Gwyn got along really nicely and had a lot of fun together. Gwyn is an adorable little girl who loves to perform and is full of life. She entertained Ben and made us all smile :) I wish we lived closer so that our kids could grow up together...

It was so nice to see Megan again. I got lost for a while reminiscing about old times- both good and bad. While reading through letters that I'd written to Megan while we were apart during college, I realized the importance of documenting my life...no matter how mundane it can seem at times. The emotions in my letters to Megan felt just as strong now as they were when written. I now have another goal on my long list of things I'd like to keep up with...

Daddy's Boy

Ben continues to be a daddy's boy. He absolutely loves his dad.

More More Ranch

I love how Paul says "ranch," one of his favorite snacks lately.
I also love how he uses "baby's" spoons to eat with lately. He tries to be so big and independent, yet when he sees his brother doing something, playing with something, or using something, Paul has to do the same.

Snow Day!



It's too cold to play outside, so the boys and I made chocolate chip cookies and the boys have been taking lots of nice, warm bubble baths.

Paul Splashing, Ben Laughing

Bubble baths have been a lot of fun now that the boys are taking them together. Paul loves to splash water in Ben's face. My first instinct was to tell Paul "no," however, Ben seems to love it. Here is a clip of Paul splashing and Ben laughing...

Six Month Stats

Ben had his 6 month check up and received a great report from the doctor! Everything looked good and he hardly even cried when they gave him 4 shots in his padded little thighs :)

He is just over 28" tall (90%), weighs just over 19 lbs (75%), and has a nice large head measuring a little over 18" (95%).
