4 Months...Growing SO Fast!

Hey Little Guy,

You are a DOLL!

What have you been up to this month? Well, let's see....

*You went on your first vacation with Mommy and Daddy to the beach.

Everyone just thought you were adorable!!

You rested well by the swimming pool underneath your umbrella. You also took a nap on the beach

on your Boppy. You were not a big fan of riding in the car for so long. We had to make lots of stops along the way, but it was totally worth it.

*You still love your Elmo and anything red. Red captures your attention.

You love talking!

 *You had your 4 month check-up and your shots. 

You weighed in at 14lbs. 12oz. 

You measured 24.75 inches long.

And apparently, you have a "big" head because you measured in the 90th percentile

for your head. The doctor

said that means you are smart.

*We also dedicated you at church. It was a precious and sweet weekend for our family.

Mimi, Papa, G, Pop, Uncle Joe, Aunt Jacqueline, Abby, and her son were all there for you.

You are LOVED little one!

I picked this special outfit out for you to wear. At lunch that afternoon though, you 

quickly got it dirty. It took G, Mimi, and Mommy to clean up your mess. It was pretty funny, you

little stinker!

*You also tried food for the first time. We gave you rice cereal mixed with your formula.

This is the face that you made most of the time. We have fed you for about 5

days now. You are beginning to really like it! It is just taking 

you a little while to learn. You have started grabbing my hand when I feed you and pulling my hand towards you.

*We are so proud of you Ben. You are a blessing to our family. I praise God everyday for allowing me to be your Mommy. 

Mommy & Daddy got to have date night on our anniversary. We ate dinner together and then went to Starbucks to do our homework for Baby Dedication. It was a sweet time to reflect on our plans for you, or better yet God's plan for you. God has BIG plans for you, little one.

We pray that you will be humble and love the Lord with all your heart and soul.

We chose a verse to pray over you. This is our verse for you.

"And what does the Lord require of you? 

To ACT JUSTLY, To LOVE MERCY, AND To WALK HUMBLY WITH YOUR GOD."

Micah 6:8

That verse is so simple, but means so much. We hope this is reflected in your character as you grow and learn.

Love you buddy!
