Andrew and I had a great birthday weekend last week. For those of you who don't know, Andrew and I are only 4 days apart. The first big Boise State football game was on Andrew's birthday. They were playing the Oregon State Ducks. We didn't go to it, but we heard about it. One of the Oregon players flipped out bad-sportsman like, punching a Boise player and trying to get into the stands to attack his booing fans. He got expelled from playing for the rest of the season and it was his Senior year too. My birthday was on labor day and we didn't go anywhere because everything was closed. And today I got my present from my family, a scanner/copier/printer. I've wanted one for a long time and so it's finally here! I can't wait to set it up!
Bennett was due for his 9 mth check up, so I got a referral from someone in our new ward. Its really close by and I love it so far! The rooms are all themed and ours was "Under the Sea." With every visit, Bennett will get an age-appropriate book. And here are his stats with the percentiles since some people ask for those:
Height: 28 3/4 inches (60%)
Weight: 22.8 lbs (75%)
Head Circumference: 18 3/4 (97%)
The visit went very well. Bennett seemed to enjoy himself. He tore at the tissue paper he was laying on and kept trying to pull on the doctor's stethoscope. The doctor was mildly worried that he doesn't crawl or scoot along furniture. Crawling isn't such a big deal since not all babies do, but he should at least be scooting. So now we're to give him more tummy time and prop him up against furniture. Its gonna be hard to motivate since babies do whatever they want. But hopefully he'll want to.
Bennett and I are also enjoying the local library. There's a weekly program called "Bloomin' Babies" that we're starting to go to. They read books, play a video, and sing songs. We even met a girl from our ward there too. Bennett didn't pay a whole lot of attention. He mainly stared at the ceiling fan and touched the brick wall next to him. But he did very well considering it was close to his lunchtime and nap time as well!

At least Bennett didn't EAT the paper he was laying on! Jonathan did...
Bennett has a large cranium! Perfect to fit that fabulous brain in! ;)
I left Jonathan alone for 15-20 minutes, even if he was crying so he'd learn how to crawl. I don't know if that would help or not. I made sure the area he was in had no cords, uncovered outlets, or objects he could pull down on top of himeself if he finally got the desire to pull up of grab things.
Looks like you are feeding him well! Clay has just reached 20 lbs and is in the 20th percentile, so the doc said I need to feed him more. Sounds like an exciting football game! I would've loved to see all that action. Oh and happy birthday to you both!
Happy (belated) birthday Lauren! I know it was almost a week ago, but I this is the first time on the computer for a while! I hope you had a great birthday. I was thinking of you! Take you!
