giggles.

The smiles have turned into cute giggles. It seems that he giggles mostly for his daddy and grams. I especially love his squeeky ones!

This week we have just been relaxing and chilling now that the party has left. I am getting very excited to see our new apartment next week. We have no clue what it looks like but have driven around the complex...the outside looks great! There are lots of little play areas, it is gated, but no pool in sight. I will have to stake out the territory to establish my favorite beach. We get our keys on Thursday.

We have also been shopping for new bedroom stuff. I have decided to change our bedroom colors to tiffany blue, white, and a little bit of gold. So much for the money that we have been saving up! I am not excited to unpack because I have a feeling that all of my stuff won't fit! It seems that there will be another yard sale in our future!

grandad.

Bentley loves his Grandad. He has been smiling at my dad since he was 2 weeks old because he loves the deep sound of his Grandad's voice. Bentley loves when his Grandad talks to him and talks right back. If you ever need a quick pick me up stop by and talk to Bentley for a guaranteed smile and it will make your day a little brighter. I think it is more difficult to get a picture of him not smiling than smiling these days.

story time.

Uncle Garic read a story to his two girls, Shelbi and Kali, and Bentley. Bentley loves to listen and look at the pictures (smiling at them of course). He could hardly sleep with all of his cousins around. And he couldn't stop staring at his cousins. They spoiled him with attention, especially Shelbi, she is a baby pro! I think the next couple of days will be filled with lots of snoozing as he recoups from the busy and exciting week he had with his cousins.

grams.

Bentley adores his Grams. She tries to steal him away all of the time! He even smiles when he can hear her on the other end of the phone. In the morning I put him on his tummy infront of the mirror while I get ready for the day. This morning he had an added bonus...Grams (you can see her fluffly blonde hair in the upper right corner)!

11 weeks and still a charmer.

allison and britain.

Our good friend Allison and her daughter Britain came to town. We went to visit them and had tons of fun playing with them. Allison and I decided that Britain and Bentley will get married and that way we won't have any in law problems. It was great to see them. They are both beautiful!

santa barbara.

Matt, Bentley and I drove to Santa Barbara for Lindsay's goodbye party. She is leaving CA to go to medical school. Jane and her man Brian were there too! We spent the day at the park and ate some fabulous bbq, thanks to Seth. Then they played 'sloshball.' Sloshball, for those who aren't familiar with it, is kickball with a few different rules. Everyone in the field must be holding a can or cup of beer making it more difficult to catch and throw the ball. Once the kicking team gets to second base they must chug a beer before the next player gets to second base. If they do not successfully finish their beer and start to run to third by the time their teammate gets to second base they are out. Matt and I were definitely not sloshed. Matt ran from second to third while pouring his Pepsi into his red cup!

After the park we went out with Matt's brother Jerry and his fiancee Heather. Bentley adores his uncle and soon to be aunt. They spoiled him with gifts and we all had dinner together.

the fourth of july.

We drove down to La Jolla to spend the holiday with our best friends Ryan and Joselyn (and their little dog Matty). We had a pancake breakfast with them and then went down to Coronado to the beach. It was Bentley's first day at the beach. He chilled in his tent, had lunch on the beach, and dipped his toes in the water. At first it was a little too cold for his liking, at least that is what we derived from the scrunchy frowny face he made when the water shwished through his chubby toes. He is still a very white baby... interesting that I got the white baby and Janni got the tan one! Then we went to dinner and watched a movie. A fun filled 4th of July. We headed back home early, but don't worry, we saw a great firework show as we cruised up the freeway!

uncle garic.

My brother Garic and his family arrived early Tuesday morning. His 4 girls and 1 boy have kept us pretty entertained and give me an excuse to color, watch cartoons and do all of the other little kid things I love to do. Garic snuggled with Bentley on the couch so that he could get him to take his nap. I guess Bentley is a pretty great snuggler because he put his Uncle Garic to sleep too!
