In the fourth month

Last week was a big one for Benson.  Many things were done, learned, mastered 

and accomplished... including:

Rolling from his stomach to his back.  He is mobile folks-and proud of it!

Here he is.... 

and suddenly on his back! He surprises himself every time.

Rice cereal for his very first time. He mostly wanted to chew on the spoon.

Shout out to Kelli who let us borrow the bumbo.  Benson LOVES it. Thinks it is a throne. He's confused.

Anytime he sleeps in his car seat he holds on to his elephant.  He loves that elephant. 

Sometimes he hides behind dad when it is bedtime....

Rice cereal again. He GOBBLED it down. I'm not kidding.  He knew exactly what to do. It was gone before I even sat down to feed it to him. 

Stared at these flowers for a sold 10 minutes. 

We also met up with LouJean and Bennett for a few activities.  At Thanksgiving point farm they had these tiny, darling little lambs running around.  Soooooooooo cute.

 These baby goats had such long ears! 

Bennett braved the horse ride.  I've always felt bad for the horses that walk in circles doing this. What a boring job- and they don't even get paid.

Bennett rode the fake tractor the entire time. 

 Eventually LouJean gave up suggesting other things and joined him.

Another day we went bowling.  I surprised LouJean with my wicked bowling skills (thanks dad!)- four strikes, thank you very much. 

And here is riley's ridiculously gigantic stack of tests to grade. ugh. the final was like 15 pages each. no joke.
