Camping/ Bentley's first food

Bentley just had her 4 month appointment. She's really healthy, she weighs 14lbs and is 25 inches now. I can't believe she's 4 months. She's rolling over now and loves to have conversations and laugh. Me and Josh are having so much fun with her. She's such a good baby. I decided to start her on rice cereal, which was a fun experience. She really liked it, but just wasn't quite sure about the spoon thing. She has an ear infection in both ears and just got her shots. She has been super cranky today, I feel bad for her.






We went to visit Josh's Grandma Ludwig on
Memorial Day.

The boys playing redneck horseshoes. We went camping at my parents property this past weekend. Web had a good time, even though it rained the whole time.

Josh and Bryce shootin the birds, I think between the 4 boys there are no birds left up there.

Melissa and Gabe trying out our bows.

Bentley's first camping trip....

Me and my mom took the babies for a walk in between storms!

Mother's Day/ fishing

I love that she can fit into her cute skirts. My friend, Melinda gave me this one. Thanks Melinda...

I cannot believe how chubby she looks in this picture!!!

Saturday we went celebrated Mother's Day with my mom. We had a BBQ and made stepping stones to put up at their property. That afternoon we went to Salem Pond and went fishing with Melissa and Gabe. It was such a nice day!
Josh also spoiled me on Mother's Day. I woke up to the fire alarm going off, he was making me breakfast, so sweet of him. He got me some flowers, hiking shoes, and some tomatoe plants. He is such a good husband...

It's so nice the have Melissa around. she takes care of Bentley the whole time, she just can't get enough of her.

This was the only fish I caught, an Albino Trout.

Bentley was so good, we put her under an umbrella to keep the sun off of her.

Making stepping stones...

My mom wanted to take a family picture to put in their new trailer. They turned out pretty cute for just doing them ourselves.

Happy 3 years!

Today is our 3rd year Anniversary! I love Josh so much, he's such a great guy and is so good to me and Bentley! I look up to him in so many ways! Love ya Josh...

Tonight we are going to go out to dinner and then my sister, Melissa offered to watch Bentley overnight! Hopefully Bentley is good for her and doesn't keep her up all night! Thanks so much Melissa!

Colorado/Josh's b-day

Gabe and Melissa loving Bentley!!

Josh turned 26 on the 25th of April. I keep teasing him about how old he is now, even though I am only a couple years behind him. He got pretty spoiled this year! He got 3 parties, one with his mom and family, one with my family, and his sister made a yummy turkey dinner for him. It's so nice to have such great families. Thanks for being so good to Josh!

Bentley doesn't really like to be on her tummy, but the doctor told me to make her do it a couple times a day to get her stronger. It's hard to make her do it when she's screaming, but in this picture she happened to be doing really good.

She loves to suck on her fingers.

We went to Colorado this past week to Josh's mom's house. Josh did a bunch of things around the house that his mom had been wanting done. He cut down two big trees and this small one, he painted the whole basement, put up some crown in one of the rooms, and a few other things. It was nice to get away and to be with the Seely family for the week. We love them and we had so much fun hanging out with them.

Easter

Bentley sleeps so good in her crib. We put her down at 9:00 and she usually sleeps til about 5 or 6 in the morning. I love to go get her in the morning. She is so happy and gives the biggest smiles.


The Easter bunny came. I am totally late posting our Easter pictures, but I just haven't found the time to do it lately. I made Josh and Bentley go on a hunt to find their baskets. Josh got a bunch of candy, a shirt and tie. Bentley got a dress, a new binki and a toy that she lays under, which she absolutely loves. I got a hat and a shirt. That day we went to the Baldwin's for dinner and dessert. It was a great day...

I thought she looked adorable in her Easter dress and she even smiled for the picture.

Bentley is getting big so fast, I can't believe it. She is so much fun now that she's found her voice and is smiling. She got her first cold a couple weeks ago. She had an ear infection and a cough. It was so sad, and I didn't hardly sleep because I was so paranoid every time she'd cough. Josh always tells me I worry way too much, but I can't help it.

2 Months/Blessing

We Blessed Bentley this past Sunday. Josh did such a good job blessing her. We had a luncheon at our house afterward. Thanks to all our family and friends for coming to support us and for all their help.




This is Josh's family on his mom's side, 4 generations and me.



This is Josh's mom, MaryJane. She made Bentley's blessing dress, it was so pretty, she did an awesome job. She is so talented an we appreciate her so much for making the dress.

These are my parents, they love Bentley so much. She's their first grandchild and they're having so much fun.

This is us right before we left. Bentley was not too happy and I was so worried she was going to cry the whole time, but she slept through the blessing and pretty much the rest of the day.

Aren't they so cute? Josh loves to have Bentley sleep on him.

2 months old!!!!

We went to her 2 month doctor appointment. She weighs 11lbs 8oz now, she's gained 4 lbs since she was born. She had to get her first shots. She was smiling at the nurses and just so happy, then they gave her the shots and she was screaming. It was so sad, I've never seen her cry like that before. I got all teary eyed, it just broke my heart to see her in pain.

Bentley's photos

We had a photographer come to our home and take Bentley's pictures. It was kind of nice doing it at our house. She was 3 weeks old when we got these done, it was really fun.

This picture was supposed to be done with a tree branch, but our photographer forgot it, so Josh told her he had something that would work perfect. He went downstairs and came back up with one of his elk antlers and a huge smile on his face. I think it actually turned out pretty good. Josh thinks Bentley's going to be his little huntin buddy, He loves this picture.

This picture has a funny story. First of all, she hated the tutus and she pooped all over me, the tutu and the blanket. It was a huge mess, I guess that's what I get for having her diaper off....

I like this pic of Josh holding her, even though she's crying. Josh is so cute with her.

She was pretty mad for most of these pictures, I guess she doesn't like her picture taken when she's naked.

She's so tiny in that big crib.
