Big Boy!
So this happened...
We moved Benjamin out of his crib and into a bed and he is LOVING it! He has done awesome in it from day 1 and just goes right to sleep. Of course, we get greeted by a sweet little voice at about 6:00 every morning but that's okay, it's not a bad way to wake up, after all. And right after we switched Benjamin to a bed he asked to wear underwear and well the rest is history. He has been in underwear since last Wednesday and we haven't looked back. And just like that he really is a big boy.

Birthday Party Fun
Saturday I took Benjamin to Kalev's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese and we had so much fun! Benjamin enjoyed playing with his friends outside of school and was especially excited that Sadique was at the party too! We had never been to Chuck E. Cheese before but it was a lot of fun. Somewhere to go on a rainy day maybe. It was a fun day celebrating Benjamin's friend Kalev!

5 Months!
Our sweet baby boy turned 5 months old on Wednesday and I can't even believe it. I don't know how it can possibly get any better but it does. Benjamin loves to play with Thomas and Thomas just lights up with the biggest smile at his big brother. It is the absolute sweetest. Thomas loves to play on the floor now and is reaching for toys and bringing up his legs. I know he can't wait to be on the move. Thomas continues to be a great eater and is nursing 4-6 times a day and takes a bottle like a champ at school. We are going to be introducing foods around 6 months and I know he is more than ready. Sleeping is getting better but he is still waking up 2 times every night. He no longer really wants to eat anymore at night which is a good thing but he is still waking up. We are working on that every night. He takes about 3 naps a day still, a morning, afternoon and late afternoon nap and does great with those. Some of his favorite things are staring at his big brother, listening to me sing to him at night, and playing on the floor with his toys. We recently put together the jumperoo and he is love, love, loving that! Each day is the absolute best with our sweet baby boy.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth
Has reared its ugly head! Unfortunately Thomas has caught this nasty virus and has been just miserable since late Saturday night. He's had a high fever and has only wanted to sleep, and while I am enjoying all the snuggles, I am ready for my little guy to feel better because his is completely miserable.

Austin
The weekend before school started we made a short trip to Austin to visit some friends and had the best time. We went to Westlake Beach which was perfect because it offered tons of shade and the water was shallow enough for Benjamin to walk in. It also had the perfect little sand area for Benjamin to dig in. Thomas enjoyed everything from under the shade but he enjoyed looking at everything and enjoying the outdoors.

Doctor
Last week Thomas had his 4 month check up and it was a great check up all around! Thomas is growing perfectly and weighed in at a healthy 16 lbs 9 oz and is 25 inches tall! He was all smiles until it was time for shots but took them like a champ. The last time Thomas had shots he ran a fever after and this time there was no fever but he did have a little reaction to them with some redness and swelling around the injection site. Poor baby.
