Miles is 4 months today! So it's time for our monthy Nap Nanny picture. Miles is actually not sleeping on his Nap Nanny anymore. He was doing great at night time, but his naps were horrible. He pretty much only slept in someone's arms, then when you tried to put him down, he would wake up within 5 minutes. It was making my life very unproductive! So I went back to trying to swaddle him and laying him flat, and he loves it. He now naps so much better and longer in his crib! However, nights haven't been as good...go figure! It's funny, because he never liked being swaddled as a newborn. He would just grunt and fight his way out right away. However, now when you wrap him up, he is instantly calmer and goes to sleep really quickly.

He is also working on teeth. The amount of drool coming from this kid is unreal, and he constantly has his hands/any toy he is playing with in his mouth. Hope they poke their way through soon!

Today we had an eventful doctor's appointment, because I took Bennett for her 3 year checkup and Miles for his 4 month checkup at the same time. AND they both had to have shots...fun times! Here are the statistics...

Miles (4 months):

24 1/4"- 60%ile

17#, 6 oz- 90%ile

Bennett (3 years):

37 1/2"- 60%ile

31#- 50%ile

Happy guy!

Grabbing his toes is one of his favorite things to do these days

Princess Bennett and Camping

Aunt Meredith is home for a couple weeks before she goes back to Villanova for summer classes. We are having so much fun hanging out with her! The other day, she took Bennett to Toys R Us to pick out a birthday present. Bennett came back with a new princess dress (it even has a hoop in it so it stands out!) and many princess accessories. Bennett was in heaven! She wears it every available minute that she can! Too funny!

Also, last night Brandon and Bennett camped again in the backyard. After enjoying hot dogs (brats for us) and S'mores, they headed outside. Brandon said they were up reading books until about 10:00, and they headed inside a few minutes before 7:00 this morning. Needless to say, Bennett was passed out by 7:30 tonight! They had a lot of fun, and Bennett really enjoyed the new princess sleeping bag and reading headlamp surprises that Daddy gave her before their adventure!!

Got him!

And he owes me $26, a tablespoon of peanutbutter, and a new extension
cord.

New Swingset!

We recently decided to get a swing set for our back yard. Bennett loves to go to the park, but I know it will be more difficult this summer with Miles's nap schedule. We will now have a lot more entertaining things to do outside when we host playgroup too! The guys just finished installing the swingset this morning, and Bennett was out there almost non-stop from the time the guys finished it a little before 9:00, until 11:30 when we went in for lunch! Thanks to Aunt Meredith, too. She kept playing with Bennett outside when I had to go in to feed Miles.

Here are some pics of the new swingset...can you tell Bennett is having fun? :)

Ahoy Mates!

Bennett loves the glider!

I'm already trying to teach her how to pump!

This is my attempt at being artistic...I tried to take a picture through the "store" to Bennett on the glider...it didn't turn out the greatest though...
