Holy Crap it's already June!

I guess it's time to post something new! It's been quite a busy week for us. It's been kind of crazy at work- but that's a good thing, it makes the days go by faster and in turn the week goes by faster as well. Ben's daycare has been a little bit in shambles. One of the pipes in the sink busted and so their room was flooded and wet all week except for today. It made things a little chaotic, but luckily he's really flexible and doesn't really have a difficult time with change. Plus, the classroom they were moved in to had a lot of really cool things to climb on and toys to play with. He also started his new class, which means a lot of big boy activities. I felt like he wasn't quite ready to NOT sleep in a crib, and in his new class they try and have the kids all nap at the same time and on little people cots. One of the crazy days there, they couldn't find another crib not being used with wheels, so they decided to give the cot a try. He was a champ and with a little back rub, fell right to sleep and didn't ever roll off (which is what I wondered if he'd do or not).Luckily, I was able to go in to check on him and got this CUTE picture. It was a bitter sweet moment for me as a mommy... my little guy is getting so big and I have no good reason why it makes me a little sad, but it does. BUT at the same time really happy because it is so much fun to see him grow and learn new things and become more and more of his own little person.

We've had a good weekend too. Friday night everyone but me fell asleep pretty early. Saturday morning Ben woke at like 7:30am and I was still pretty worn out and Ryan was OUT, so I went in and gave him his binky and told him to lay down and he did- and went back to sleep until 9:15! So we were able to catch a few extra Zzzz's. And on top of that, he went down for a nap two more times through out the day. We also cleaned our room and discovered there's carpet in there... I went and got my hair colored, then we packed up and went to the Roswell Park Pool for an hour before it closed. Ben was afraid of the kiddie pool, cried a lot. Maybe because the mushroom umbrella is loud, but was fine in the big pool. The clouds were covering the sun so he got the shivers so we didn't stay in too long- but he liked it. We plan on going back a lot. It's a huge pool and really nice. We're about ready to go over Clint's house to eat dinner with the Terry's and his parents... possibly other people. So... it's been a relaxing weekend, and we need it. This week will be crazy in preparation for our trip to UT! I am SO excited. I can't wait to see my parents and siblings and friends. And to have a week off work (with out being sick). Hopefully Ben will behave well on the plane, Ryan wont be too nervous, and we wont die from the heat in St. George! We went to the doctor for Ben's 15 month check-up on Friday and he's still itty bitty. Not even 21 lbs yet. Has a big head... and is in the 5-10% for his height and weight. I'm not worried about it though, uh consider the source! He also has thrush for the first time ever, which kind of sucks... but we've got it taken care of. He's got all 8 teeth now, and we've figured out he calls his binky "nigh-nigh"... I guess he associates it with going to bed. And "mo-more" we think he says because we always ask "want more" and that's kind of what it sounds like to him I guess. Anyway- I'm going to go now because Ryan and I are arguing whose contribution in the creation of Ben was more important.
