Cardinals or Blues?!

Post season vs home opener? Too many choices! Since the cards lost today and the Blues are currently behind I guess Ben wasn't too much of a good luck charm. I had him in both outfits though just in case and to root them on. Hopefully the Blues come from behind and win, but if not, these pics should cheer people up.

Yes, that would be a puck on his butt. I was looking for a mini hockey stick, but guess I don't have any here. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure they are in my parents basement. Oh well - he'll get one soon enough!

Lions and Tigers and Bens - Oh My!

Just a random pic of Ben in his bear suit :) Couldn't resist putting him in it for our neighborhood party since it's starting to get cool out now and Brian and I have been dying to dress him up.

Did you see the paws?! Cmon - how cute is that!

Ben's Baptism

Ben was baptized this past weekend and the whole fam from STL came up for the event and yes it was quite an event. We even had the Archbishop baptize him since he's a family friend and baptize me when I was just a baby also. Ben handled it like a champ and didn't make a sound throughout it, but he was very curious as to who was pouring water on his head when the time came. Here are some pics.

4 Months

Ben's hit the 4 month milestone quicker than I'd thought. Sorry I'm a day late and my posting has slowed down so much, but it's been busy around here with work, studying, baptism prep and MRIs. Yep, Ben is still a pain in my behind, literally.

So to play catch up he's....(deep breath)...grabbing toys, making lots of interesting sounds, sucking his hand and thumb at times, watches football, making monkey faces, rolling over both ways, and laughing (especially when Brian does the theme from Monday Night Football).

He had his checkup today and basically he's average. He weighs in at a whopping 15 lbs 1.5 ozs (55%), 25" long (50%), and head circumference is 16-3/8" (40%). So he has a small head like Brian and I.

Here are some pics from the last month - click the pic for a slide show and there's a video below of just him lounging around.
