Benson AKA Tub-o-love
Benson went to the doctors today. He had to get 4 shots, poor little fellah, but he was very brave. He only cried a little bit. But here are the statistics I know you are all waiting for.
Benson is 28.5 inches tall (50%). What? One of my kids is in the 50% for anything!!!! This is actually a first. I can't believe how short he is! I would be really surprised if he isn't about to start a growth spurt.
Benson weighs 24 pounds and 4 ounces (89%). That's my big healthy boy!
Benson's head circumference is 19 inches (97%). It takes a big head to hold all those brains.
He is the happiest baby I think I have ever met. He started saying "mama" a couple of days ago and yesterday he was laughing and cooing and smiling to a picture of me. Sure do love this little man!
In other news, we had a great 4th of July. Gracie got a mosquito bite on her arm. If you don't know what mosquito bites do to Gracie check out this post. This one wasn't as bad as some she has had in the past, but she thought it looked like "a boob" and kept on showing me that she had three boobs. I couldn't find my camera for a few days so I didn't get a picture of her third boob. Darn it!
Sammy loves trucks, cars, planes, trains, tractors, you know, all that boy stuff. He can't say truck though. He puts an "f" in front of it and leaves off the "tr." He does the same thing with croc. And he says it, oh about 5000 times a day. If I am not paying 100% attention to him when he tries to tell me about the truck he will say it over and over, louder and louder, until I acknowledge that there is indeed a truck.
David passed his step 1 boards. Yay David!!!! He has just one more year of rotations now until he graduates. He sure does work hard and I am so proud of him!

What a chunk! Orden started out big but has tapered off. He still hasn't even hit 18lbs! Your kids are super cute! Poor Gracie and her third boob!
Fun things are happening in your life! Congrats on passing the step 1 boards, I'll bet that's nice to get it over with.
Bo does the same exact thing when saying truck. Paul Chavez heard him doing it and thinks it's so funny that he starts Bo talking about trucks when ever possible. Drives me crazy!!!
Congrats on the boards that's awesome!! I love that tubby picture. Kids are so cute when they have roll after roll. I also love that picture of the Salt Lake Temple. I'm curious where you got it. I would love to get it in a bigger size for my wall. Glad you are all doing so well.
Sounds like you all are doing well. You definitely have a beautiful family. Congrats David on your step 1 boards! Have a great day!
LOVE chuncky kids! He is so cute! Love his eyes!
