“Bennie Boo” as his sister Wylie and I often refer to Ben is 4 months old today! And bless his heart , since we are on summer schedules around here, this child has been the ideal picture of the word patient and perfect! He is such a go-with-the-flow baby! Thank the Lord!!
These days, it is highly likely you will just glance at Ben’s big blue eyes and immediately have your heart melt as he flashes his adorable and innocent smile at you! I could stare at him all day long and never get tired of how his little spirit shines!!
In true Bailey fashion, Ben is also attached to his “Foo Foo”! Not that I was shocked about this but all of my other babies around 3-4 months “discover” their foo-foos and it quickly becomes the point of no return! I really think Ben’s Foo Foo has magic powers because the child immediately (not kidding) closes his eyes when his Foo-Foo hits his face. And in true fashion, exactly like my other ones, he too covers his eyes with his Foo-Foo for his sweet dreams to begin!
If you aren’t careful around here, you just mind find Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum up to NO GOOD with Ben! I have walked in countless times on Wylie trying to act like me and changing Ben’s diaper, trying to burp him or picking out his clothes. While she is a big help, she has failed to realize she is 3 and is just quite capable of all that momma is! Bless her for trying though!! Bess, on the other hand, is a wild card. Some days she helps Ben readjust his passy and then 2 seconds later she is trying to sit on him! I am hoping her heart means well !! Both the girls LOVE to have Ben in their room at night while we are doing pajamas and especially love to rock-rock with him in the chair! Hence this picture. Clearly Wylie is being the mom and I am pretty sure Bess is in her Wild Card mood! It is like she is already contemplating her next move with Ben! Bless his soul, he just looks scared!! He is such a trooper!
Other than rice cereal and some baby foods, this month marked 2 other milestones in Ben’s life! Just the other day, Ben met the Bumbo! Such a crucial turning point for him because he loathes his bouncy seat some days!!
His second major milestone was taking a dip in the pool water! He started out happy. Didn’t really enjoy the sunscreen part but he was semi-enjoying himself …
until his dear sister Wylie jumped from the 3rd step and this happened!
then is was VERY MUCH OVER for poor Ben!
We are so grateful for the blessing of Ben and the precious spirit he adds to this very active house! Each night as I rock him, I can’t say thank you enough to the Lord for giving our family this blessing!
You are very loved “Bennie Boo”!
