The young and the phoneless

 

Hello again, It's me, the young and the phoneless; just chilling on a Thursday afternoon.  Jake and Bentley are both sleeping. I cannot wait until school starts in the fall so we aren't sleeping all day. It is SO hard to be rested when my child wakes up every four hours and Jake comes home between one and two AM. Oh well, such is life. As you can see, featured here is a picture of Bentley sleeping in his stroller. He fell asleep on our walk home from church and was just too cute to wake up. 

Bentley is able to hold his head up when he lies on his tummy, he can either lift up his bum or lift up his head, but not both at the same time. It's really cute. Every time I put him on his stomach he inevitably cries. That is also cute. Ha ha. And Today when I was pretending to toss him into the air he started laughing for me. YAY! Bwa ha ha ha. I'll try to get some video of it for you guys.

   

I know I shouldn't do this either, but Bentley is tasting things all the time. He watches my food and stares at me when I eat. I know he's too young to eat human food but every now and again I let him lick my otter pop or taste my yogurt. It's cute because he likes it like a little puppy. 

Yesterday I handed him off to my friend Bella and he suddenly started SCREAMING! I let her sit it out for a few minutes but it didn't get better, so I took him back and tried to pump his legs. When he eventually calmed down I handed him back to Bella so I could check on my Banana Bread and he looked at her, gave me a wide eyed look and began screaming again. Haha. Mom Edwards says He is too young to be afraid of strangers but I am beginning to wonder. Here Bentley is testing out his Johnny Jump up. He isn't really a fan of it, he sits in it with his toes just touching the ground and he spins in a s l o w circle and when he gets bored he sits forward and eats the fabric and then he starts crying.

 

And here is yet another picture of Bentley wearing his froggy hat that his Aunt Camille bought for 13 cents at old navy. You heard me. 13 cents. What a bargain.
It's crazy to me that soon he will be four months old. It's almost time for his 4 month shots. :(  My little bug is growing up. I love him. Our most favorite things to do together are: Bath time, singing/playing time and snuggling when he wakes up to eat in the middle of the night. I love my little Bentley. I want to see him grow but I hate to see him get bigger. I guess it has to happen this way :) Wouldn't it be awful to be a baby your whole life? Ha ha ha ha

You guys should see the farm, it's incredible. Grandma Wendie and Grandpa Ted have chickens and baby chicks, goats, sheep, pigs, a dog, a growing corn field and a bunch of trees. Did I mention they have beehives too? It takes ALL day long for them to water the trees. I don't know how they do it. They work all day to take care of the farm and I can't even summon the strength to function on 6 hours of not consecutive sleep.

Well, we miss you guys out in Alabama. Keep safe. :D We are thinking about you. We hope all is well in the ward, the stake, young women, at home, and at work. We love you and hope to see you all very soon.

Courtney, Jake and Bent.
