My Little Water Baby

A few weeks ago we were house sitting for friends who happened to have a pool.  Naturally, I took the opportunity to introduce Ben to the water and bought a floatie, sunscreen, and little swimmers diapers.  Here he is in his cute get-up: 

His first reaction to the water was neutral.  He didn't cry, but he also wasn't quite sure what I was dragging him into.

Ignore my outfit...swim suit shopping has never been something I look forward to and after having a baby it definitely is NOT on my to do list.

Near the end he started to get into it and splash!

1st Baseball Game

Here is Ben at his first baseball game:

We learned very quickly that the crowd was too loud since the Dbacks wasted no time scoring.  We then spent the remainder of the game on the couches in the lobby area.  It was an expensive ticket to watch the game on TV!  I think we'll wait another year before we try that again...

Everything Goes...

in the MOUTH!  (including toes)

6 months

His 6 month stats...

14 lbs 11 oz  (10%)
27.25 inches (90%)

Since he did not grow much during the last 2 months, our doctor was a little concerned about his weight.  We switched formulas, changed my diet, and fed him more cereal.  We'll see how he does on thursday!  I was a little worried that he didn't gain enough weight, but I wasn't sure about the cause.  The doctor thinks he may spit up too much (hence the changes).  Alex thinks we just weren't feeding him enough.  I just hope he's ok and I can eat dairy again!  I absolutely LOVE dairy.  And I miss it.  I may or may not have followed that order exactly...
