Bentley's First Play Date!...

My good friends Cheryl and Ashle, and Cheryl's baby Cash (who is 8 months) came over yesterday for a play-date. This was the first time Bentley had been around/played with another baby! It was adorable. Cash is a big crawler and he goes and goes; Bentley sat and watched him. I am so excited that Bentley will have a friend, growing up, that is so close to his age. :)

Instagram photos....

Bryan recently got an iPhone4 and downloaded a great photo editing application called "Instagram." I love the features it has! It makes pictures look so vintage; my favorite! Here are some of the photos he has edited with the app!

 Hanging out with his Grandpa Ronnie :)

Wow...it's been a while! OOPS!

Time has definitely gotten away from me. This summer has just flown by. A combination of moving, car problems, BENTLEY, family stuff, and everything else - I really haven't found time to sit down and blog! I  gotta make sure I am updating this every couple days (or at least once a week) for all of the family and friends who follow this! 

Just a quick catch up:
1. Bentley said his first word AND small sentence - "HI BUBBA!" soo funny and cute!
2. He isn't crawling yet, but he will be soon. He likes to rock back and forth right now.
3. He LOVES to be outside. Anytime he is fussy, take him out back and let him enjoy the sun! 
4. He had his 6 month check up on August 11th. He weighs 18lbs3oz and he is 26 3/4inches long! A big boy!
5. We started him on baby food when he turned 6 months, but it seemed like it was upsetting his belly and making him unable to sleep well at night - so we have taken a break for a few weeks. We will start back up soon :)

Other than that, he has just been a happy and playful baby! We are constantly doing things with him, taking him places, and discovering new and exciting things as parents! 

Here are a few pictures to catch you up!
 Cute hat at Gymboree! We were waiting for it to go on sale; we went back and it was sold out :(
 My favorite picture at the moment! My sweet baby right out of the bath (or should I say, sink!)
 Me & Bentley swimming at my mom's surprise birthday party!
 Another one of my favorites, taken today! He loves to be outside! 
Daddy & Bentley! <3


PS - I promise to try really hard to keep this thing updated!! :D

Bryan's Vacation so far....

Bryan's vacation started his week-long vacation last Wednesday. On Tuesday night, after he got off of work we went on a walk along a trail near our house. It was a very nice and relaxing walk, and Bentley enjoyed himself. He also looked so cute in his beanie; it made him look like his Daddy! 


On Wednesday, we headed over to Bryan's parents house to visit for a little while. We took our puppies too, so that they could run around in a backyard (since we don't have one, :( ) They had a great time, and so did Bubba! He enjoyed spending time with his Grandma Tina and Grandpa Ronnie! He rode his rocking horse and he played in the backyard with the doggies and his toys! :) 




On Thursday, we headed over to my parents house to visit and watch a movie! Bubba had a nice time playing with Grandma and Grandpa, and his aunties Kayla and Haylee. He napped on the floor while we all watched "Conviction" - great movie, by the way! Bubba had such a great time! :)



On Friday we went to lunch with Bentley's Nana. We went to Chili's! YUMMY! Bentley sat in the big boy high chair and enjoyed spending time with Nana. After lunch we headed over to Babies 'R' Us where Bentley got his new "big boy" car seat and a new tool box toy! :) Thanks Nana! 






After our busy Friday, Daddy and Bentley decided to sneak in a photo! 

On Saturday, I went to lunch with my mom, Grandma and sisters while Bryan hung out with my Dad and Bentley. We went to lunch with Miguel's which was sooo yummy and we brought the guys some In n Out! :) We hung out at my parents house for a little while; my mom and I also prepared for our Sunday coupon shopping! :) Bentley also got to try out his new walker that Grandma got for him! Bryan and I stopped and got some Frozen Yogurt on our way home, and let Bubba have a taste! He loved it! Hehe! Then we went home, got Bubba in bed, and watched our movie "The Switch." (Pictures of Great-Grandma and Bentley will be posted later, they are on my mom's camera!)

This morning (Sunday!) Bentley hung out with Daddy at home for a couple of hours while I went out and coupon shopped with my mom. I got $41 dollars worth of stuff for $12! Love saving money for my family and being able to save for fun things and trips! I also got a few little gifts for Bentley to add to my Christmas stash, as well as a bucket and shovel for our beach trip on Monday!

After I got home, we cleaned the house a bit, did some laundry, and then got ready for Bryan and my date day. We dropped Bentley off at my parents house, and we headed to Red Robin to split a burger, then went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides at the $3 theater (we are on a saving money kick! we love it!) Then went and picked up our baby love<3 

We are now home and watching the older Pirates movie and Bentley is already in bed for the night. Tomorrow we are headed to the beach for Bentley's first trip there! Tuesday we will probably relax, clean the house and head over to the pool for a few hours. Wednesday Bryan goes back to work; we will be sad, but we are so grateful to have had a full week together! :) 

Hope you enjoyed the update! More pictures and updates soon!!! <3

Sitting up!! ....

Our big boy is officially sitting up unassisted! He holds himself up for a good 5 minutes, and sometimes falls backwards/sideways! A few more days and he will have it down perfectly! We are such proud parents! :)

4th of July in Big Bear....

We had such a great time in Big Bear with Bentley's Nana & Papa! We got up there on the 3rd and went to lunch at Jasper's BBQ (they were pet friendly for KC and Kache!) and it was delicious!! We went on a beautiful site seeing tour with Nana and Papa and stopped at Boulder Bay, then went back to the cabin to relax. We bbq'd cheeseburgers for dinner and had white chocolate oreo truffles and strawberry angel food cake for dessert...DELICIOUS. We played a game of Skip-Bo and lots of talks! Just an all around great mini-vacation with Nana & Papa! :)

Bentleys Father's Day gifts for Papa & Grandpa ...

Bentley & I made some cute art pieces for his Papa & Grandpa for Father's Day :) 

I only got to take a picture of Grandpa's... but Papa's was the same, it just says Papa at the top :) They both loved these gifts so much! Something they can cherish forever<3

Hanging out with Mommy....




I decided to do a little photo-shoot before Bentley's bath time/bed time, while we were on the ground playing and doing some tummy time! He is growing so fast!! He is rolling to his stomach all the time, and holds his head up so well! Today we worked on sitting up by himself, he is still a little wobbly but he is trying hard to sit by himself! I think he will be sitting unassisted in a few weeks, definitely by 6 months! 

Bryan will be off on Bentley's 5 month "birthday" on the 29th, which is exciting! We will probably take Bentley to the park, and go down to our apartments swimming pool and swim for a little while! 

Until next time... :)
