You can't make me smile.

This morning while I was hanging out in my crib, chatting with the animals on my mobile (those guys crack me up), Mommy attempted to obtain photographic evidence that I am a happy baby. I refuse to humor her.

4 month check-up

I went to my pediatrician this morning for my 4 month check-up. I am now 15lbs, 7oz and 26 inches long. Dr. Sanders said I look great! She thinks that I might be an "early mover", so I have to remind Mommy and Daddy to baby-proof the house very soon. I can't wait to get moving. I've been eyeing that CD rack for months. I had to get some shots, which I did not enjoy at all. (Mommy didn't enjoy it either). I felt much better once I was back in my car seat and going home. I took a nice, long nap to recover from all the excitement.

Mommy got a bargain.

I am the proud owner of a new bumbo seat.

Apple-picking

Today Mommy, Daddy and I went to Honey-Pot Hill Orchard in Stow, MA to pick some apples. My parents like to mess with me by showing me a bunch of fruit I'm not allowed to eat. It's okay though because I had fun pulling leaves off the trees and falling asleep in my Baby Bjorn.
(Uncle Andy thinks I look like "a chick" in this hat. I was trying to keep the sun off of my face. Does his skin look this good? I think not.)

A day in the life of Ben

Yawn




Good Morning, I'm hungry!


I said "food", not "diaper".



The TV distracts me while Mommy tries to get me to burp.


Napping in my swing.



Not for long.


I had a surprise for Mommy in my diaper. I usually prefer to poop in the evening.


All dressed.


Working out on my gym.


It was a battle of wills, but Mommy won and I took a long nap.


When I woke up, it was bathtime.



I played with my toys in my bouncy seat.



Then Daddy was home. Yay!!


Time for my bottle...yummy.


Storytime and off to bed.

Good night!

Who is the cutest octopus ever?

I'm not sure what this "Halloween" thing is. I've heard that there is candy involved. I'm not sure what this "candy" thing is either. All I know is I'm wearing a very strange outfit.

Look at those cheeks!

Welcome to the world, Beautiful Boy...

It's cold out here and I'm mad.


This is much better.


My family...
