Two Months Old

Where the heck did time go? Benny is two months old today!! That is insane! We went for his checkup and immunizations. Let me just start out by saying he was still pretty congested and clingy and not so happy in general. Add three shots to that. Fun stuff! You know those baby screams where the face is all contorted and it looks like there should be a loud sound coming out but your not quite sure if the baby is actually breathing? Benny showed me how nicely he can do that...

Anyway, on to the fun things...

Just a reminder, he was born 8 pounds, 15 ounces and 20.5" long. His head was 14 1/4 around.

Benny is now 11 pounds, 1 ounce and 23" long. His head is now 15 3/4 around.

That puts him mostly in the 25th percentile (some 25-50%)...

What a big boy!!

Poor baby!

Benny has his two month old checkup tomorrow, along with his immunizations! Poor kid has such a bad cold, he's extremely congested and has a hard time using his pacifier or even nursing sometimes. We're sitting by the humidifier right now, hoping to clear some of it up. He won't let me put him down, not even for a second! Thankfully, there's no fever so hopefully they'll still give him his shots tomorrow.
And Sunday we're off to New York again, for the entire month of Tishrei!!! This little boy is quite the experienced traveler! I'm really hoping his cold clears up before we have to travel!!!

Alright, I have to preserve my battery. Shuky is up at the farm this week and we have only one Dell charger but two laptops...Shuky has the charger! Bye for now, hope to see lots of people real soon!!!

Getting ready to leave....

Just one quick picture cuz I love it so much!

New York was nice but there were alot of people we wanted to see but just never got the chance...Fear not, we are coming back for the month of tishrei and will see EVERYONE then...

Off I go to sort things out in my room and then get some sleep before Benny and I head back to the land of cows and corn! Good night and good shabbos in case it takes a while to get back on here...

Fun in the Sun!

Wow, what a weekend! Let me start off by saying how exhausting it was getting here...long drive to the airport and all. Benny was amazing on the plane, actually had people around us commenting on how good he was and how surprised they were! He didn't cry until the plane had landed and we were just waiting for the doors to open. And that was because he pooped and I couldn't go back to the bathroom and change him...
Shabbos was really nice, the Bar Mitzvah boy did a great job and his parents put together a beautiful simcha! Benny was dressed to the nines, looking delicious in his little khakis and button down shirt!!! I was really tired from all the traveling and stuff, when we got back from the Bar Mitzvah on Sunday afternoon, I completely passed out for the rest of the day!
Today was nice and relaxing. We were supposed to return our rental car but when we rented it on Thursday, the guy must have forgotten that today would be Labor Day and none of the rental locations were open except the airport so they gave us an extra day for free and told us to return it tomorrow. So we went to walk around in some stores and help Ronnie and Roberta look for some stuff. Then we went to a pita place. I love being able to just go out to restaurants!!!
Afterward, we went to a friends place, everyone went swimming and I sat poolside with Benny asleep in the stroller...we kind of hung out the rest of the night. Got home about an hour ago...nice and tired. Benny was up for a REALLY long time, playing and flirting with everyone around him! I predict tonight will be a good night! I hope. (Fingers crossed!)

I hope these storms coming won't affect our travel plans! I really want to make it to New York this week...

Well, have a good night everyone.
