Bentley is already growing! It took him awhile to get started, but he eats so much that I can't keep up. The older he gets, the more he looks like Matt. He has Matt's eyes, nose, mouth, fingers, toes, ears, and even his chin...just what I ordered...mini Matt. They even sleep the same, and twitch in their sleep.
His favorite things to do are sleep on his daddy's chest and try to pee on anyone who changes his diaper. He got his dad in the face the other day, and tried to get Grams today, but she is just to quick...she had 3 boys and knows how sneaky they are. Most of the time he ends up peeing on himself and he really doesn't like that!
His nicknames to date are: Squeaky, Stink Bug, Sleepy Bug, Scrunchy Face, and Red. I call him Red because he turns bright red when he gets mad! I'm sure there will be a plethera more of nichnames that come his way...from me anyway.
This week is going to be a busy one. Matt is finishing finals and graduation is on Thursday and Friday. Ranae and Richard get here on Wednesday and we can't wait for Bentley to meet them. Then Bentley gets blessed at church on Sunday by his daddy. And after that we're packing up and driving to California.

I traded in my old baby, Tito the big black Yukon, for a brand new Bentley on Monday, April 2nd at 8:12 pm. Literally, we sold my car while I was in labor! The guy even came and picked it up at the hospital! Bentley's early arrival was a surprise. He came 10 days early, just like his cousin Luke who was born the day before. He's just a little guy at 6 lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long. Though we still can't figure out which of us he looks like the most, he is a doll! His Grandad keeps teasing that he has red hair, but I firmly contest! His hair is blond! He is so much fun and we are so glad that he is ours! I can't figure out if I am more happy about being a mom or if it's just the fact that I am not pregnant anymore!
Matt is a great daddy. He is involved in everything, even middle of the night surprises. If you thought he had a perma-smile before you should see him now! He was even the first to change Bentley's diaper!
We are grateful for all of your love and support...so thank you! Our little family is doing well and very happy...tired, but happy! Hopefully I will be better at keeping up to date with pictures and everything else!
