Chubby?

Aunt Mary and Uncle Jeremy bought Ben this little onesie (in case you can't read it, it says "chubby") for Christmas. After hearing the onesie said "chubby", Ben was very concerned about his weight. He tried to pose for the camera by sucking in his stomach in order to look less chubby. (Did he learn this trick from you Aunt Mary?)


However, after his mommy explained that "chubby" was a good thing with babies, Ben relaxed and was less concerned about the camera.

Bonding with Daddy

Last Wednesday Mommy got her hair done and she had a date with some of her girlfriends. This meant Ben got to spend quality time with his daddy! In honor of this special occasion, Mommy dressed Ben up all manly... in camo!!




Mommy wasn't there, so she can't be sure what happened during the man's night, but she is sure there was burping and farting involved!

Going to (Great) Grandma's

Ben had an exciting weekend! He visited his mommy's hometown of Wise. More importantly, he finally got to meet his great-grandma Macel (Mamaw).


He had already met his great-grandma Zella (Mawmaw), but hadn't had the chance to meet Mamaw, his great-grandma Maryanne (Geemoo), or great-grandpa Pete (Daddy Pete). He hopes to meet Geemoo and Daddy Pete soon too!

Ben also got to meet his great-aunt Fern and his cousin Lizabeth.


The trip to Wise was all in one day, and Ben handled the drive like a pro! He obviously takes after his mommy.

Today Ben visited his church's nursery for the very first time! He had been to church on a Sunday only once before, but that was to play baby Jesus. The ladies in the nursery loved Ben and one even wanted to take him home with her!

Benjamin's weekend with the grandparents

Benjamin had a very exciting weekend! His grandparents (Grammy and Grandpa or Papaw or Pawpaw or whatever comes out of Ben's mouth when he first says his name) came to visit from the far-away land of Wise to finally celebrate Christmas! Ben received books, cute clothes, teething toys and an EXERSAUCER!!! As you can see Ben was very happy that his grandparents came to visit.





He played a lot with his grandpa and slept in his grammy's arms (sorry grammy we have no pictures of this.) He even stayed at home with his grandparents while his mommy and daddy went to see a movie (their first movie date since before he was born!)



He was sad to see them leave, but knows they will come back to visit soon if his grammy has her way!
