Six Months!

Last weekend, Benjamin celebrated his 6 month birthday. Today we went to the doc for his checkup - he got a great report and continues to be in the 75th percentile for height (27 1/4 inches), weight (19 lbs. 3 oz.), and head circumference (45 cm). He also got a ton of shots (and is now sleeping them - and the tylenol - off!).

Below are two albums - the first from last weekend when Ellen and Allan (Dan's Aunt/Uncle) visited us and the second is a mish mash of pics from the last couple weeks. It includes our trip to Ann Arbor (B's first plane ride!) and some random shots.

Enjoy!

Two Months and Counting - Mediocrity at Its Best!

Benjamin had his 2 month check up (at 10 weeks) today. He has grown to 23 1/4 inches (+1.5 inches since last month) and 12 lbs. 4 oz. (+3 lbs). He is solidly in the 50th percentile for height, weight, and head circumference (hence, the mediocrity headline). This is a marked improvement on his weight since last month when he was still in the 25th percentile. He also got lots of immunizations and despite the infant tylenol is a little out-of-sorts this evening (we'll be redosing him in about 90 minutes).

UPDATED - 7:30 pm - there are new pics in the album below since the original post

Pictures from Tuesday's bath (his first minus the sling in the baby tub) and playing yesterday with his Gram are below!

The First of Many Posts This Week

So Gram (Chrissie's mom) is here in D.C., which means lots of pics, and Dan is in Muncie, Indiana for work and has demanded pics and videos on a daily basis. The confluence of these two events means lots of posts this week so stay tuned!

These pics are of Benji chilling and also of his bath - which he is finally starting to enjoy. There will also be a video of tummy time appearing soon too, but the internet isn't cooperating, and Chrissie wants to go to bed.

Gram's Visit Day 1

Metro Rides, Baths, and Silly Faces

A few new milestones in little B's life.  Yesterday, we gave him his very first bath.  It wasn't quite the spa/relaxing experience that he undoubtedly expected, but it was very functional.  

And then today, we took our urban baby on his very first metro ride.  He was a big fan of the "doors closing, please stand clear of the doors" chime.  So much so, that when his mommy hopped on the train, Benji and Dad got left behind!  But we all survived...
