So it feels like forever since I've blogged, but on the flip side, I am stunned that Bennett is already over a month old. People say it all the time~ they grow up so fast. I guess it is true. We had our visit to the pediatrician today. Little buddy gained 2 pounds and 3 ounces and grew a whopping 2.25 inches. He is a little smaller than the average baby but totally normal and totally healthy (he may have small person genes; his mom is only 5'1''). In the realm of accomplishments and defying all odds, our little Hamiltot has rolled over from his stomach to his back 3 times. His doctor says that doesn't normally happen until 2 to 4 months old! He also has slept through the night for the past 5 nights; Kyle and I have a whole new lease on life! Check out my strong little man~

While each day the baby does something new, Kyle managed to get a new activity this month. He has bonding time with his co-workers every now and then. Typically they go bowling on a Friday afternoon, but last week they played WhirlyBall. Kyle had to forgo the opportunity to play with the young married couples group at church this summer because a third-trimester wife would not have had any fun. Thankfully the opportunity arose again. Here is he in action...

So Kyle's co-workers fashioned this cap as a trophy of sorts. Kyle was the only one who received a foul during the game thus he was "awarded" this special treat~ ridiculous!
As for me? I'm feeling really good these days. My body feels healthy again (except all the junk food I have been eating~ oops!). My midwife gave me the green light on running again. Now to just find the time and muster the energy.... I'm starting slow with walks around the neighborhoods before I hit the treadmill (Bennett won't get to roll out in his fancy jogging stroller for another few months~ he'd be all shook up!). I think I'm going to keep up my mile counter because it is a good motivator for me.
I miss blogging a bunch, but I always opt on the side of taking a nap or shower over writing a new post. I'm sure I'll get the swing of things at some point, but until then, see you back here in October? Only time will tell on this matter...
