We had a really good Memorial Day Weekend. Saturday, we traveled up to Cedar Rapids to Kathy & Tony. Kyle, Julie, Alexa, Don & Verla also made the trip because Tony's birthday was on Monday. It rained most of the time, but we were able to get a small ride in Sunday evening and the boys went mountain biking on Monday. Josh had a good time playing with everybody. We got a little silly with one of Alexa's games and decided to decorate everybody's face, even Josh's while he was sleeping!

Busy Weekend & First Mother's Day

Busy weekend at the Benson household. Friday, I rode my bike to work, and Kurt & Joshua rode out to meet me and ride home with me. We got about 20 miles in that day. Then Friday night we enjoyed some yummy sushi with the Sedores. Saturday, Kurt, Joshua, and I rode down with Julie to the first Farmer's Market of the season. It was pretty busy, but we did get to sample some yummy treats while we were down there. Joshua didn't seem to mind all the people, he walked around w/ Daddy in the "Daddy-pack" (pictures to come). After we put in our 20 miles, I spend the day w/ my "bbf" Amanda, and we went shopping. Of course Joshua slept through most of the trip. Sunday was my first Mother's Day. Kurt and Joshua got me some cards, and Kurt took me to The Machine Shed out at Living History Farms for breakfast. Then we spent the rest of the morning spending time w/ our lil peanut and vegging. The afternoon we did some stuff around the house, inside and out. It was a great day to spend with my family.

Growing up too fast!

4 Month Checkup

Joshua had his 4 month well baby visit on April 26, 2011. He weighs 14.05 pounds and was 24.25 inches long. He is definitely a growing boy. He is also doing age-appropriate milestones such as cooing, laughing, tracking w/ his eyes, grasping, and having a more stable head. I also think he is getting a tooth. Joshua's doctor also told us that he has an upper respiratory infection. YAY! Just what we need, so he prescribed a nebulizer that we have to do every 4-6 hours until his cold goes away. Otherwise everything else is good, and in a couple of weeks we'll be able to start cereal & at his 6 month visit we'll discuss vegetables.

Happy Easter!
