Weekend with Daddy!

Daddy and I went to California last weekend... yes without Mommy.  She missed me so much (she couldn't even sleep at night), and I missed her too. 

We had a lot of fun though.  We went to two football games, the homecoming game at Heritage and Uncle Jeffrey's game.  I spent Friday with my Mimi and Papa, and they were so happy to see me.  We also went to dinner with the Hyder's and went to Sausalito to Auntie Staci and Uncle Toms.  

It was a good bonding experience for Daddy and me.  He had to wake up at night and feed me and everything.  Even though Mommy said he wasn't getting a true taste of what she went through since I sleep through the night now, ha ha! 

We had a great time, but Mommy was very glad when we got home.  She brought me a rose to the airport (Daddy reminded her that I am a boy), and she made Daddy and I a welcome home cake. 

Look at me, I'm three... months that is!

I started to show a lot more personality this month.  I love to smile at my funny Mommy and Daddy.  I have even laughed at them a couple times.

I have grown a lot.  Mommy and Daddy measured me and marked it on the door frame in our apartment and I am 25 inches.  I'm not sure how much I weight because I don't go to the doctor until I'm four months. 

Oh, and I rolled over from my back to my tummy once... that was an accomplishment!

Mommy and Me!

Mommy and I spend everyday together.  She takes care of me:  she feeds me, clothes, me, bathes me, and loves on me.  Mommy calls me all kinds of silly names, like Boo Boo, but I don't mind.  She loves to sing to me and talk to me, even though she knows I can't talk back she doesn't seem to mind.  I go everywhere with Mommy, even to her creative writing class on Thursdays.  I'm a good boy there, so her teacher doesn't mind.  Mommy likes to write poetry about me and I will love to read them one day.  She is great at taking pictures and capturing memories for me to always cherish.  Mommy is very special to me, and I know that I am MOST special to her!!

Like Father, Like Son!

I love spending time with my Daddy.  He works a lot to provide for me and Mommy, so the time I have with him I cherish.  

I love to watch my Daddy play football and go to football games with him. 

We also love dressing a like, and I already have his love for shoes. 

Daddy and I love to snuggle together at night.  Because Mommy is a night owl and likes to work on her homework until late, I go to bed with Daddy each night... unless I'm being really fussy (he has to wake up early for work, so he gives me to Mommy then). 

I can't wait 

until the day  

that I can shoot hoops and throw 

around a football with my 

Daddy, and I know that he 

can't wait either.  We are going to be best friends... we already are!

I Love My Grandparents!!!

     

 
                    

I am such a lucky little boy to have to sets of wonderful grandparents.  I just wish I lived in the same state with them and could see them every day.  But Mommy and Daddy tell me that they are working hard to get done with school so we can move back to California and be around all of my amazing family!

Two Months Already!

At my two month check up my doctor was 

amazed at my growth.  I grew almost four

inches over these last couple months and 

am in the 95th percentile.  I'm also gaining 

weight like I should be but am still in the 

upper 20th percentile.  Just like my daddy, 

tall and skinny!!

My neck is getting stronger, so mommy thought that I might like my bebe pod chair. 

 I was a little shaky, but I liked it. 

My favorite seat is my bouncer.  I take excellent  naps here!!

I started to smile near the end of my second month.  But Mommy could never capture it on film.

Bentley's Blessing

        



I was blessed in California on August 3, 2008.  It was a wonderful day.  Both of my families were in attendance and we had a great party afterwards, which I completely slept through.  Everyone thought that I looked so cute in my knit outfit and booties.  It was such a special day being in my Daddy's arms.  Mommy cried and Daddy even got choked up!
 

Aloha Hawaii

        

My very first vacation at barely one month old... and it was to Hawaii.  How lucky am I?  Mommy and Daddy were nervous about how I would do on the plane, but I ended up sleeping the entire six hour flight... longer than I've ever slept before.  Grandma Greene was celebrating her 45th birthday.  We had a wonderful and relaxing time.  The Hyder's came with us, which always means a good time.  We spent five days on the north side of the island of Oahu.  The weather was beautiful.  While I mostly slept, Mommy enjoyed getting some R&R, and Daddy enjoyed snorkeling and spending time with Uncle Jeffrey.  It was a trip I will never forget, well, at least I will have pictures.  

I can't wait to go back!!!

The First Month

I'm finally at home after four days in the hospital on Mommy and Daddy's bed at our first house.  Yes, I've already lived in two houses, first in Provo and now in Salt Lake City. 

 

 

 

   My first official outing.  It was the 4th of July.  My Grandmas were here and my Uncle Jeffrey.  We went to Fuddruckers for dinner and then  watched the fireworks show!

My first bath at home!  I have loved the water ever since.  Mommy and I shower together every night.  It really calms me down and helps me sleep... which makes Mommy and Daddy very happy!

Our little growing Greene!
