Growing and growing






Benjamin is now 4 months old! He seems to be doing a lot of maturing all of a sudden. We are quite excited at every little turn and twist, expression and heartfelt emotion that he expresses. The daily circuit that was fun for him last week isn't as much this week. He is ever changing. Just today for the first time he reached his arms out to me to be picked up. I felt like I just won an Oscar from the Adacemy of Benny. I melted 1000 times over.
Benny is rolling over and scooting in his walker with great determination. Also this week we seem to have forgoten the awesome night sleeping habits we had going and have reverted to waking every 3 hours. (not so excited about this, but we are like mad scientists working on a solution ... at least I am)

I am headed back to work on March 17th. As my dear friend Gary says... "all good things must come to an end Carrie".
I have very mixed feelings about returning- all because I can't imagine not being with Benjamin at every moment.
What I have to be thankful for is that we have a WONDERFUL nanny solution for 3 days and I have a great job to return to. Jason will be off on Mondays and I will be off on Fridays.

I am also very excited to welcome a new member to the family. Sekou Zai Carey Kimmons. Born on Feb 18th to my cousin Ron and Thai-an. I had the pleasure of meeting him last week and what a wonderful beautiful dear baby boy he is!

And today, Alina got her first tooth!
Jason completed a duathalon and Moms and babies got to hang out.

Another chapter is about to unfold...
