I've always had a fascination with how small babies/children's hands are compared to their parental counterparts. With this in mind I set out to take a picture portraying this concept. I'm not sure what it is that draws me to this particular aspect of the child but I do know anytime a baby/child puts his/her hand in mine-- I am at their mercy. Speaking of being at a baby's mercy-- Ben has me wrapped around his little finger. My day doesn't start until he is awake. I will pace in front of his crib until the little guy makes his first noise (these are on the days that I am up before him which is usually one in 10 days). On the other days his squeaks are not to terrible to get up to. Speaking of squeaks and getting up--- I have something to say. I sleep about eight hours a night! Ben sleeps 10 hours with one feeding sometime around 4-6 am…..If this isn't the best news you have heard all year you better just re-evaluate your priorities cause-- Sleep = Sane Summer = which equals a manageable wife/sister/daughter/friend. Well you get the point your life is easier when my life is easier ;)
So I have so much I have wanted to blog about and I am not sure if I'll get everything in. Ben's milestones are, and not limited to, laughing uncontrollably when I dance and sing or when his aunt Leisha/Cami tickle him. Grabbing my arm whenever I am changing him. Screaming once loud and clear if he has gone too long without attention. And wiggling in his bumbo- arms straight out (like he is doing right now-- see pic to the side). Will and I took his four-month-photoshoot and we will go in for his four month doctors appointment next week. I will give you the stats then.
He is really starting to enjoy people right now. Whenever there are kids in the room he watches them intently and two days ago he "yelled" at me for handing him over to mom, instead of holding him. I think the rest of the story is best told in the pictures below, so I'll end with his latest medical conditions: a runny nose, hard to control dry skin on his forehead and a rash or two on his little tush. He still has not rolled over, to his father's dismay-- but he did wiggle himself to me today so I think that is progress.

Your eyes are really alike! Ben is soooo cute!! Does he really laugh a lot?
So cute! I wouldn't worry about the rolling over thing. Lucas was sitting up at 4 months (by himself) but still wasn't able to roll over...so it all happens when it happens.
