Long Overdue - Bennett's 4 month Check-up

I know, I know. I have no excuse for not blogging other than I've been on SEVERAL adventure and I can't wait to share them with all of you!  FIrst of all, I made an adventure to see Doc MB Mahoney for my 4 month check-up! 

Stats Below:

1. Height: shorty, 25% percentile
2. Weight: 14lb, 15oz - 50% percentile
3. Head Size: Big, 75% percentile

So, to put it simply, I'm short, chunky (kinda) and have a big head.  Ha!

I don't know if you all remember, it's been a long 4 months. I've been fighting a gassy stomach, allergies/eczema and big fussiness.  We have tried several techniques, diets/changes, but Dr. MB said she thought we should try SOY formula. It took awhile, but seems to be making my tummy feel a bit better and make me more content.  I have medicine for my eczema which helps!  I'm ALMOST rolling over now, am getting much more active and have tried a little bit of rice cereal which I'm not lovin' so much quite yet.  I still haven't quite figured out how to sleep through the night, I'm still getting up 3-4 times a night on average. Please check out some of my favorite pics below - I'm getting to be a big dude! 

Love, Bennett

Hangin' with our Homies on a beautiful weekend

Summertime is HERE! I know, I know. We are lazy boys.  So so lazy about updating our blog because we've been buys partying outside cuz the weather has been BEAUTIFUL! We love playing outside and being able to be outside with our friends.  Last weekend, going into Friday we had hardly any plans for the weekend.  This doesn't typically happen to the Sherck household.  What did Bennett and I do? Well, we made plans.

• Friday night - we invited all of our friends over for chicken enchiladas (well, we call them cheeeeken enshila-the's)
• Saturday: We went shopping and bought a new patio set for the deck. It's really cool and comfy. I already dropped ketchup on one of the cushions.
• Saturday night: Jenny came to babysit, we went to another pizza party while Mama & Dad went out on their fancy anniversary date to Pittsburgh Blue for steak and wine. They said it was delicious.  We call our parents the "carnivore couple" Ha. It must have been special because Mom wore her black strappy sandals.
• Sunday: We hadn't had enough so we rigged up the boat and headed for BIG LAKE with our friends.  Pictures are below - enjoy!

 Love, Bennett & Brady

A Sign of Summer

A note from Mom today....
I've been finding these little dirty socks all around the house the past week...I think summer is here! I start to act like I'm mad, but it truly makes me smile inside. I love cleaning Brady's dirty socks and his dirty hands because he's been digging in the flower pot.  I don't tell him that this makes me happy - but it makes us smile every time because we know he's having a blast.

Because I'm obviously fascinated with our boys - wanted to keep sharing some fun pictures. They are SOO FUNNY!

Dad: "Brady close the bleepin' door!"

Memorial Day 2011 @ the Lake!

Ernie's on Gull Lake

 

We're back from a great LONG weekend at the cabin!  Mom, Bennett & I headed to the cabin Thursday night, had some fun with Gma Sherck & Aunt Pat until Friday around lunch time. Daddy came home from Canada on Saturday and we had an awesome time spending the rest of the weekend together as a family.

We really are lucky to have a place like Gma & Gpa Sherck's cabin to spend time away from home.  It has been so dang freezing all of the time we've been up there lately. Bennett and I want to go swimming!!  I even bough a new pair of snazzy swim trunks to show off with all of the ladies "little girls" up at the lake.

Busy week ahead of us and a weekend AT HOME (for once!)  Whooppee!
Love, Brades & Bennett

The start of summer? I THINK SO!



Bennett 14 weeks

This is a night in my bunk room at the cabin. I love the bunk room - and I sleep so great, especially with big rain & thunderstorms at night.



Reading books with Dad in the dark.

 

Here's me with daddy...with the flash. Cute, huh?




Playing with my main bro. He's getting so big, he looks like he's going to EAT ME.
