Baby Pictures

I finally took Bennett in today to get his baby pictures taken. I had planned that I was going to take him and our future kids in at 9 months to get their picture taken. But, Bennett had a cold and awful runny nose for at least a month so I didn't want to have to worry about green snot in the pictures. So, I'm about 1 1/2 months behind but I took him to Target today since I had my day off. I only ordered two poses but here are some of the best ones I had to choose from.

Weekly update

Last weekend was my good friend Angie's wedding to Jim. Lots of planning and preparing went in to the day and it all turned out great! Here are a couple of pictures.

Bennett found out that this window is his height so he can look outside and watch the cars with the kitty.
I went to watch Kristen in the musical at school tonight - Oliver. She was a townsperson in a few scenes where they sang and danced and then also a police officer in one scene where she even had a few speaking parts. This picture was taken after the play. This was part of her police officer costume.

10 Months

Bennett is 10 Months! This has been another big month for him. He is crawling all over, pulling himself up on everything, walking across the furniture and will not sit still for anything! He is "talking" a lot and even is associating words with sounds; like when he sees Elmo or I say Elmo, he says "E". He also has a sound he makes every time we say Kitty but it's not a sound I can type. The best one though is "Bennett, did you go poop?" and he many times will say "Eghhh" and kind of grunt. Hopefully he keeps remembering this one so that potty training is alittle easier!

So I found out at work that my hours have been cut to 20 hours a week. Luckily work and my daycare are being flexible with me and I am able to work Mon/Wed/Fri full days and then only pay daycare for those three days instead of the whole week. (at first when they told me about getting my hours cut they wanted every day from 1-5 which would mean paying daycare all those days plus driving all that way for just a few hours every day). So, please say a few prayers for Mike & me as we figure out what the next months hold for us. Hopefully this is only a temporarily couple month hour lose but there is no guarantee how long it will last.
