Summer!

Our summer is officially over and we're back in MI after 2 months in Las Vegas. It was our last summer vacation as students...I kinda wish it wasn't! I love our summers home, seeing our families, and getting a little break from the day-to-day. It's amazing how much a baby can change in two months. Here's a little summer review:

Benson learned to sit up! He'd totally rather stand or scoot around on the floor, but he can do it!

My cute friend Bre gave Benson his first haircut! The mohawk was totally out of control. He's kind of important so she made a house call for him, but you should go see her at Tonic Salon, she's legit.

Benson went to the zoo for the first time. I thought he might be a little young but this kid looovvees animals. It's unfortunate for him since I do not, but I'm cool with the zoo since they're all in cages and what not. He got so excited when they moved and especially when this little monkey came right up to him to say hi.


We spent a weekend at my Aunt Becky's cabin for our family reunion. Benson just kicked it in this swing as much as possible. He even took a nap in it, odd because it is almost impossible to get him to sleep anywhere besides his bed, with his sound machine, in the dark, with a binki. I'm totally having one installed in my living room.

Park City! My parent bought a beautiful house there recently and we love it! Brandon took a couple days off school and came for a week over labor day. I have visions of Benson playing outside all summer and learning to ski in the winter...I can't wait. And it doesn't hurt that most of the people that I love so much in law school live in Utah!

I turned 27! Seriously, almost 30. Enough said.

We started Benson on food which he is thrilled about. He looovves peas, they're his fave. He's been through all the Gerber purees and there really isn't anything he won't eat, chubby little guy.

He's officially tall, 95% tall! Obviously he doesn't get it from me!

My little sister is such a talented photographer. I pretty much love that she takes the most amazing pictures of Benson. These are my favorites from his 7 month shoot:

Benson loves music! Loves it. Nothing makes him happier. Kenz put on a personal concert from time to time and he could not have been happier!

It's officially fall, my favorite season and I can't wait for Benson's first Halloween. I can't help but constantly think about how it's our last here in MI. I plan on living it up and remembering all the amazing details.
