Latest & Greatest

Last week was busy busy busy. To continue from my last post - Wednesday Bennett was off to Shirley's, Thursday back to Christina's and then Friday with me. Friday morning we went with my mom and David to Mankato for Laura's college graduation. It is so hard to believe that she has 4 years of school in already and is done at Bethany - only 2-3 years to go! Bennett was very good the entire day! Saturday night Laura and I went to a new Mexican restaurant in Waconia which was very good. We were supposed to "share" a Strawberry Margarita but apparently I had alittle more than I should have. Laura didn't have her half! Too much tequila and the fact that I hadn't had any alcohol since Bennett... I was sleepy :-) Anyways, it was fun and it's great to have her back home for the summer. David is also home already and has his first year of carpentry done too! Then today Mike & I did a bunch of yard work and I got my garden & one of the flower beds planted.

New things for Bennett this week: he has started eating rice cereal! We have done this about 4 nights now and he doesn't do too bad. It doesn't work too well though if he is really hungry because all he wants then is his bottle and he gets very crabby that we aren't giving it to him. I think sometime this week I'm going to try mixing some baby fruit in with the rice to see if he'll like that any better.

He just chillin' out and watching TV in this pic - he looks so relaxed!

Also, he was giggling up a storm tonight which was so funny I had tears in my eyes. I always give Bennett kisses on the lips and say "Muwah" over and over again. He likes it when our lips smack. Anyways, we were doing this tonight and one time he missed my lips and got my nose instead. He had my whole nose in him mouth so I started laughing. And he then started laughing and giggling too which made me laugh even more which made him giggle even more and so on. So it was kinda gross that he had my nose in his mouth but it was soooo funny and it was the first time that we heard him giggle and laugh like that. We got part of it on video but missed the main parts. I don't know how to work the video camera yet to put it on the computer but I'll try to remember to post it later this week.
