Dinner Mates

Our Mommy friend was flying solo this week while her husband was out of town on a fishing trip.  Since their kids are the same age of our two, we decided to have them over to play and for dinner.  Lauren and Trenton enjoyed getting into the toys together.  It is so funny to see Lauren's reaction to a rowdy boy.  She'll be there soon because her little brother Sean, who is three weeks older than Bennett, grows up!

 Nothing like hotdogs, corn and grapes for dinner.  Oh yeah, and a popsicle for dessert!

 There is enough room for two.  Come on in, Chase!

And This is How I Sleep!

Because our video monitor is broken, Mommy goes in to check on Bennett before opening his door for bed.  She found him like this.  He's already a wiggle worm Wagers at this wee age!

Boxes

Big or small, Trenton likes to climb into boxes.

Lobster Crave

I tell you, Bennett is such a perfect companion.  We took him to Chops, yes Chops, this week for our date night.  No work involved, except lifting the carrier to and from the car.  Some stares came our way as we walked in, but when Bennett sat conent in his carrier the entire meal not even making a peep nor needing to be lifted from his position, people realize why and how we were able to do this.  Bennett was wide awake for the first half and then dozed off for the second half of dinner.  We love that Bennett allows us to do this at 7 weeks old.  We never would have done this with Trenton.  1. Because we were too scared  2. He was a good baby, but not THIS good of a baby. 
The baby wanted lobster.  What else could I say?
Somewhere between moving out of Buckhead and kids, I missed this invention.  This is the deluxe version of a hand dryer.  What ever happened to good ol' paper towels of the old fashion drying machines?
 Bennett patiently waits for the valet.

Trenton's Baby Mo

Trenton has a monkey we bought him from the zoo.  Today it really caught his eye.  After playing with it a minute, he wanted me to put it on him.  (It has Velcro hands and feet to hang.)  When I put it on his back, he said no, on his front.  So I swapped it around to his front.  That is when I found him bouncing the monkey, cradling him and whispering shhh, shhh, shhh.  I may have worn Bennett in the mai tie sling one too many times.  :)  Anyways, we named the baby monkey Mo and Trenton proceeded to make him a crib out of an old box and cover him with a blanket when it was his (and Mo's) naptime.  He's got the gist of a baby!
