TCU Homecoming

This weekend we took our first family roadtrip back to Fort Worth for TCU's homecoming. For those of you that don't keep up with Horned Frog Football we won 54 to 7!! We enjoyed seeing all of our fellow frogs and hanging out in our old stomping grounds...

Mini me???

Chillin @ the game with uncle Alex (hey girls, is he lookin good or what?)

Enjoying the afternoon with mi Abuelo
As you might've noticed in the pictures, The Gregory's where in Fort Worth for the weekend too...what a treat for Benjamin...we came home with all kinds of new toys and clothes...thank you grandma Lynne y Abuelo!

We Love Fall

On Sunday afternoon we had the family out to the lake for lunch to celebrate grandpa Swanie's birthday...on the way Mimi and I picked up a few "props" for these adorable (if I do say so myself) photos!


Let me just tell you what a struggle it is to cross those legs in boots (yes, the boots that won't velcro in the back because those adorable little calves are just too plump)!

4 Month Stats

We always have so many different poses for each picture... I just couldn't choose the perfect picture today so here are all of them! While this outfit never quite made it out of the house Friday morning (yes, it was one of those mornings) I just love how it makes him look like such a little man!

Here are his 4 month check-up stats:

Weight 17lbs 15oz (97th %ile...Yes, our Dr. says this is a "Healthy" boy!)

Height 24 3/4" (63rd %ile)

Head 17 inches (84th %ile)

We were given the ok to begin cereal and such...however on our first attempt last night @ dinner Benjamin decided this was a highly inefficient way of eating and he much prefers the bottle for now! Bananas...definatley NOT going to be his first love! We'll try the outmeal again tonight...bananas, maybe we'll wait a little while before we go there again!

Next Visit @ 6 months on Friday, December 5th.

If you've noticed in the many pictures of Benjamin that he never has on shoes that it because we have had the hardest time finding cute little shoes for boys. Never fear, Mimi to the rescue! We found several pair of adorable shoes yesterday...yes, it took serious shopping and several stores, but we now have 4 adorable pair of shoes so be sure and look for them in future posts...

Smile

This smile is what gets us through the day...we hope it brightens yours!!

4 Months Old

Can you believe this little boy is 4 months old today???? We can't!! Of all of the advice that we were given from the time we found out I was pregnant, "enjoy every minute because they grow up so fast" has definately been true!

In just 4 months Benjamin has:

Moved from Fort Worth to Tyler

Boated around Lake Tyler on Gaylon's barge

Sat through "Big Church" without making a noise!

Taken 2 roadtrips to Shreveport...and spent the night @ the El Dorado!

Spent a day in the ER

Survived his first ear infection

Spent his first night away from mom & dad...you guessed it, he stayed @ Mimi & Swanie's

Helped with his first garage sale (O.K. maybe "helped" isn't exactly accurate...he smiled at the customers...that helps, right??)

I can only imagine what the rest of the first year has instore...
