Dear Ben,

Dear Bennie Boo,

Boy you are such a trooper!  You are only 4 months old and already having your first experiences at Garden City!! If you could talk, I bet you would say you felt confined to the bouncy seat the entire trip!!  (So sorry about that one!  I felt bad for ya too!!) Each and every day you would lay back in that seat with your passy and Doggy Foo Foo and drift off.  You actually did seem to enjoy the beach thanks to your tent and shade! You really had a good attitude about it and seemed to understand that we were a little busy with all the other children in the water and sand.  Don’t worry, you will be right there with them next summer!!  More than once last week we told you that you were the “winner” for the day!  Breakfast, lunch, nap, dinner, whatever the occasion, you usually had the best attitude and continued to wow us with your adorable and precious smiles! 

I love seeing your personality come to life each and everyday!  You continue to be a wonderful baby who is happy, content and easy to manage!  You sleep like a champ, are finally eating like a champ and love love love to be hugged and cuddled!   Plus you were so freaking adorable in your bathing suit- I could hardly stand it!!! 

Ben, you are a wonderful blessing!  All my love!
