5 Months

Benton is constantly rolling and smiling. He loves exploring new things and really studies everything. We've been going to Mommy and Me yoga and spending more time outside now that it's cooler. I cannot get enough of this precious boy.

My baby boy is two months old today. His hair is really starting to grow and he coos and gives the sweetest smiles. He really enjoys the fact that Casey and I are constantly singing to him--something that one day he may think is embarrassing. Although it seems impossible, we love him more each day.

I can't get enough of him. I'm constantly overjoyed by his presence in my life.

Seven Weeks Old

Benton is seven weeks old today.  He has been smiling constantly and growing like crazy.  He has the cutest new layer of hair on his head that I can't stop rubbing.  My favorite things to do with him are taking baths and reading him stories.  I am treasuring every minute with him. Last week we went to visit Casey's parents and our best friends, Charlie, Tia, and their sweet baby girl Juniper came.  I had some stress about staying away from home for four nights but Benton did great.  We had a wonderful time relaxing at the river and spending quality time with some of our favorite people.  Here are some highlights:

Benton and his papa. 

 Being measured like the big kids; he'll appreciate it one day.

 First trip to Heston's distillery to try some good old West Virginia moonshine.  Ended up with wine margaritas, beer, and a  free meat, cheese, and fruit platter too.

Our sweet boy is almost five weeks old and continues to get more and more entertaining. I can't get enough of his funny faces and antics. Watching him grow and change is amazing.

I can't believe my little bun is three weeks old but, at the same time, I cannot remember life without him.  We got out of the house a lot more this week.  My mom and I took him to Cumberland to spend time with both of his great-grandmas.  He slept for the entire hour and a half car ride there and back; as long as music is playing in the car, he is very content.  It was amazing to see my grandmothers make over my sweet little boy so much.  Casey and I had a little date Saturday night and my parents watched Benton.  It was nice to get out and crazy how much I missed him even though we were gone for less than two hours.  My heart is very full.  

On Mother's Day

I could not be prouder to be this sweet angel's mom. Watching him grow just over the past two weeks has been amazing. He already has such a personality and is bringing us so much joy. I love him more than anything.
