Summer Fun

To beat the heat Ben likes to splash around in his new inflatable pool. He loves the water and trying to eat all of the floating rings. We can't wait until we can put him in a real pool!

Fun with Polka Dots

No special occasion today. I just thought Ben looked particularly cute in these pajamas. :)

My first solid food

Ben had his first solid food today - rice cereal. We weren't sure how he would like it, but he seemed to like it quite a bit. It was a big day...rice cereal and we took Dad out to brunch for Father's Day.

Go long...

Bad Hair Day

Ben is having some hair issues these days. All of the hair on the right side of his head fell out and new hair is coming in. However, the hair he's had since birth on the left side of his head hasn't fallen out and just keeps getting longer. Therefore, we often use the "comb over" technique to get it to look presentable. My aunt Anne thinks I look like Bill Murray (Ernie McCracken) in the movie "Kingpin."

4 months

Ben turned 4 months on June 1. He's getting so big and learning lots of great things like sticking out his tongue and making raspberry noises with his mouth. :) At his four month appointment he weighed in at 15 lbs. 9.5 oz. (60th percentile) and is 26 1/4" long (90th percentile).

He was very excited to learn about the arrival of his new pal, Jackson Alexander Stewart, who was born on June 2.
