Big Boy Bennett!!!

Monday was Bennett's one month doctor's appointment. He is tipping the scales at 11lbs and 21.5 inches long. The pediatrician was impressed with his growth progress and has assured Graham and me that Bennett does not have any trouble eating, but we already knew he had a hearty appetite. It seems overnight he outgrew his 3 month outfits and has quickly moved into 6 month clothing. Each day Bennett does something that just amazes us. He is very much a cuddle bug and enjoys being held. He is beginning to smile when he sees or hears Daddy or Mommy. He has also shown an interest in our ceiling fans. He is changing and growing each day, it's hard to keep up but we are making a lot memories. Graham said to me this evening. "It's just so hard to believe he is ours. I keep thinking we have to give him back."

St. Patrick's Day was absolutely beautiful. Bennett and I spent the afternoon enjoying the outdoors and walking the trails at Arbuckle Acres in Brownsburg. We found a nice bench and enjoyed a picnic lunch. The trees are starting to bud and it was wonderful to be outside enjoying the spring weather. Hopefully we will get a warm weekend and we can take Graham on a picnic.

Bennett and I ended our week with lunch at Cheesecake factory and shopping with the Aunts. Julie, Amy, Sydney and Grandma Marilyn all met for a leisurely lunch. After enjoying good food and good company we finished the day shopping at the Fashion Mall. This was Bennett's first big outing and I must say he did very well. Of course he wanted to be held but the sling we recently purchased worked out great. Thanks girls, we should do it again soon!

Below are a few pictures most of which I took with my phone. Random pictures but cute facial expressions!

Not sure who is checking who out! But I do know who has more hair.

Bennett sleeps with his mouth open. As his Uncle Brian says he is catching spiders.

This kid is all cheeks.
