3 months!

Ben's Stats:
Height - ~23 inches (not too much change in height from last month)
Weight - 16.6 lbs


Things Ben Loves:
The ceiling fan
Owen (the dog)
Being tickled all over
When mom wiggles his arms and legs really fast
Kisses on his chin
Being lifted up and down on our laps
Being outside
Sitting up, looking out at everything
Going to the store with mom (unless he's tired, then he screams the whole time)

Things Ben Hates:
Having his bottle taken away (he screams bloody murder!)
Getting dressed
Being in his swing
Raspberries on his tummy (I'm hoping he'll grow into this one)
The car (he's getting MUCH better, but he still really doesn't like car rides)


In honor of Ben being 3 months old, and also because we haven't gone in about 2 years - we decided to go camping this weekend! This was Ben AND Owen's first time camping with us! They both had soo much fun! Ben loved looking at all the trees and watching the fire. He also slept really well in the tent with us. (As well as he does at home, anyway). I brought the mat from his Pack N Play with us and laid it down in the tent for Ben to lay on, and that worked out really well. 





And like I said, Owen LOVED camping too. He ran around the campground the whole time we were there. (We were the only campers there). I don't think there's a single speck of dirt in our campsite that he did not sniff. When it was time to go, and we were driving down the road, Owen totally crashed in the car. He was exhausted! I'm glad we found a way to wear him out. :) 

We all had a ton of fun and enjoyed being outside. I wish it weren't starting to get too cold, so we could go again soon! But I'm thinking we'll have to wait until next year to go again. But that's okay, at least we broke Ben in while he's super young. He's officially a camper! :)

Love his facial expressions! Love that you guys took him camping! Also, besides the bottle thing everything on his hate list is everything on Eli's love list haha. Babies are so funny!

Oh my goodness! I love that first picture!! He's so expressive and so cute. I'm impressed you took your baby and dog camping. I haven't even thought about taking Zoey camping. . . I don't think it would go very well :)
