Rollin...

Bentley Paige rolled over today! She has been rolling on to her side for the past couple of days and today she made it all the way over! It took her a while but she powered through it and then she did it again after waking up from her second nap.

Discovered her feet recentley and loves to suck on her toes.

And another big first....REAL FOOD! I have been studying her for the past two weeks now. She watches us eat with such intensity and she tries to grab at our food during dinner so this morning for breakfast I thought I would test the waters. I mashed up a little sliver of banana and gave her a little taste of the mush thinking she would spit it out right away or at least do the whole tongue thrust thing but much to my surprise (and secret dismay) she sucked it down and eagerly awaited more.

I love her so much and AM and will be sooo proud of her every accomplishment, but truth be told, as she approaches and and conquers each new milestone I often find myself torn between the "perfectly proud momma moment" and the "please stop time, I don't want my teeny tiny baby to be doing this yet" moment. Time is flying by WAY to FAST. I feel like I'm gonna blink and she will be moving out....I know its years away but I am already meloncholy over the whole thing. Oh and by the way, she is 16 weeks old today....

Happy Daddy's Day

Nothing more sweeter than the sound of babies cooing and little ones playing with their daddy! Watching you play with our babies and help them learn about this beautiful world and all the wonderful things in it...well it just makes me love you more and more with each new day. You are a wonderful father to our children and we are so lucky you are the head of this household. You provide for us, you care for us and you let us know you will always be there. Are children are so blessed! I always say it, but it is because I believe with ever fiber of my being that it is more than just LOVE, it is meant to be! You were chosen for me and I for you and us for THEM! I am eternally grateful for you! Te amo mucho babe and Happy Fathers Day!

Bentley Paige is 3 months old!

3 Months Old!!!!!

Daily she is growing right before my eyes. It is so fun to watch her change and discover her world. I love her so much my heart could burst!

Bentley Loves...

Mornings: She wakes up every morning with a huge grin. She is always so happy to see me so no matter how early it is I have to smile back! :-)

Baths:She LOVES her bath time. No longer a sling in her bath, she bathes laying down in her tubby and she loves to kick and splash. Bath time is my favorite time of day because it is the start of our truly one on one time. After bath we dress and sing and then she eats and goes to bed. (and lucky me....she sleeps a 7 hr stretch followed by another 4 hr one).

Kick Time: She loves to lay on a blanket and just kick and stretch. She really gets moving. And she does her tummy time pretty well too. She is a pretty strong little dolly who loves to get her exercises.

Brother: She looks for McCoy whenever she hears his voice and smiles when she finds him. He moves around so much and she is just completely entertained by him all day. I totally accredit the fact that she has such strong neck and back muscles to McCoy because she has to move around a lot just to follow him.

Daddy??? Well, since day one she has not had a fondness for poor Glade but lately she has let him hold her and she didn't cry and she even smiled at him a few times this week. Today he held her and she smiled at him and cooed with him. He said they had a great conversation. I think she is coming around!

Dislikes: Her car seat. Actually she HATES her car seat. As soon as I buckle her in she starts whimpering and as we drive away she is full on crying. But as soon as we get to wherever we are going she is happy as a clam again? Hoping this is just a phase. Hopefully a short one!

Sleep note to Bentley Paige: Oh my silly sleeper. Your sleep patterns are just like your brothers. You kick off all the covers and move around a lot. Sometimes I will find you in the exact opposite position I laid you in your crib. On two different occasions you kicked a leg out of your button up pajamas? Sometimes you scoot from one end of the crib to the other. And you often smile in your sleep. :) Sad though, you sometimes whimper in your sleep too :(. I always love to watch you sleep and it is always fun to go to the crib and she where or what position you will be in. :)
