W. L. M. S.: Father's Day, Shots and All things Family

On Sunday last Jake and I loaded Bentley up in the van with an assortment of clothes and toys and snacks and we drove up to Brigham City to see Grandma Great and Papa Bear. It was too fun. When we first got there Bentley would have nothing to do with either Great Grandparent, but as you can see Grandma won him over with her sparkling charm:

So then the afternoon's entertainment then progressed to this:

Genius, right?

We ran into lots of family at the party, Anne and Devin were home with Boston but we got to see Kess, Kirk and Tammy, Todd and Alison, Emily and her cute family, Josh and Hilary and their kids, etc... It was nice to get to know them and spend time with the family. Hilary and Josh found a house, they are moving to being Dental School, I guess the dentist who Josh is going to work for is really particular in how she wants things done so he will be doing orientation for two weeks or something.

Emily's kids have allergies (I didn't know this but it was interesting to me, worth repeating) and so she made these amazing rice crispy treats with carmel, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, cookies and pretzels. wow. It was so good. and her twins? SO adorable.

After everyone left we sat and grilled Matt about girls he liked and school and things. Alison made him ask everyone still there a 'vital question' because all he'd done all evening was watch a basketball game. Then Kess told us about his dating life.

Jacob and I turned his phone into a baby monitor! Cool, huh? yes. Very cool. When Bentley cries, if he reaches a certain volume, his phone auto texts me.

I think that is really all that happened this weekend. Bentley eventually warmed up to Grandma and Grandpa but he woke up like every twenty minutes for like two hours during the night, I had to go into a different room than Jacob and sleep with Bentley IN the bed because he just couldn't sleep! It was Miserable.

Yesterday Jake and I stopped by to see Anne, Devin and Boston. We brought them diapers, wipes and outfits like machiel said to and they were very happy to receive them. They all seem to be doing well! Boston is tinier than Bentley ever was and just as cute as a little button.

Bentley got his shots and he didn't get upset until the second shot. He was such a trooper!! My tough little man! He looked at me after the first shot like... "Mommy wouldn't hurt me on purpose," and then after the second one he just got so sad and let out a wail. I will have you know that he only wailed for a second, he took his pacifier and all was right with the world.

Bentley is now 15.3 lbs and in the 49th percentile for weight. His head was almost 17 cm, which means that he is the 84th percentile, which is lower than last time, but still a big head. :) My favorite is his length. Bentley was 25 inches long and in the 72nd percentile for his age. That means he is a tall baby! Yay, Bentley! I love my little boy.

To end my day, my friends Isabel, Camille and her boyfriend came over and pulled staples out of the bedroom floor so we can get carpet and I got rear-ended by some girl while coming out of the wal-mart parking lot. Thankfully my car was fine. I think her bumper just smacked the back of my bumper and neither car seemed damaged. Bentley and I were fine too, though, it scared me half to death!

Okay, this was more of a play by play, at least I didn't go over everything we ate or what we all wore or something like that. Here are some pictures. I thought you would enjoy them

OH!!! One more thing. Bentley is taking Rice Cereal in his bottles now and he slept for almost seven hours last night. Hallelujah!
