Big Belly Laughs!

Ben is growing fast and I can't believe that he is 12 weeks today. Where does the time go?!?

We have been very very busy. We were in Florida and had an amazing time for my grandmother's 95th Birthday. My whole family was there and everyone was so excited to meet Ben, but most importantly, my grandmother had an amazing birthday! B did an excellent job on
the plane and I was so proud of our little guy...on our way back we knew we had a layover in Pheonix, but what we didn't know was that the flight to Pheonix was making a pit-stop in New Orleans...needless to say it was a looooong day.

We had a nice visit from Aunt Mary and Cloudy ;). It was too short and unfortunately Ben was a bit cranky that day. However, I'm sure Aunt Mary will get lots of smiles in December when we head to Charlotte for the Holidays.

Uncle Chad and Aunt Deedee are coming out the first weekend of November to meet Ben. I realize it's all about him now...which is just fine with me.

Ben and I have been having some fun at Mommy and Me yoga, Music Class, and Mommy Groups. The other day in our music class, we were walking in a circle singing "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" and Ben let out a laugh that caused everyone else to stop and laugh. His whole face lit up and his body shook. It was the best sound I've ever heard. I'll do whatever I can to hear that belly laugh.

Here's a cute photo that my dad took. He's wearing his pumpkin hat. My dad calls this picture, Halloween Head...


After bath-time...

Sounds like your easing into Mommy life very well Dara! And Ben looks like he is chubbing up very nicely so Mommy's milk must be delish (although I'll take his word for it!).
The picture of Ben with his Halloween Head reminds me of a picture in my baby book of you with a frilly hat on your head...you have the same expression and look almost identical! I'll have to show you next time I see you. Next time you're in the East Bay let me know and we can meet up!

Love,
Annie
