Jacob's Birthday Party
Jack enjoyed playing with his cousins and his buddy Jacob at the Kohl's Children's Museum yesterday. Ben got to go too and while he couldn't play, he did enjoy the people walking by.

Dress Up
The kids like costumes. They are so funny. We are going to scar them by making them wear matching outfits, but it is worth it!

Jackson Maidy for President 2008
Dear America,
This is to inform you of Jackson Andrew Maidy's campaign for President of the United States of America. Jackson is a maverick of the playground and intends to create diaper reform, eliminate dependence on butt paste, created nation-wide health care that includes lollipops after getting a booster shot, as well as help our country fight the terrorist known as Barney. Will you join Jackson on his quest for the White House?
Drool, Baby, Drool!
Jack and Ben B&W
Here is a shot of me and Jack when he was 3 months old. Next to it is me and Ben taken today. You can clearly see the differences between the boys, but also the striking similarities.

At Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch
It was supposed to be really cold, so Ben stayed home with Grandma. It turned out to be really nice. Jack said "orange," Kate fed the animals, Jacob wore sunglasses, Tea went into the Haunted House, and Ellie bought her own pumpkin. A very successful day.

Ben Stats Month 4
Height = 26 inches 80th percentile
Weight = 18.2lbs 95th percentile (not concerned as he is a long/tall baby)
Head = 75th percentile (measurement not given)
Shots = 2 (argh...he cried and whimpered all the way out the office doors)
Suggestions = Try to stretch feedings to every 4 hours
Overall health = great! Big healthy boy
Outside while waiting for the hospital valet folks to get the van, an older gentleman walked up to the stroller declaring he just HAD to see the baby in the stroller.
Man (after having studied Ben's face for a few minutes then looking up at me): "It's a girl, isn't it?"
Me: (I smile kindly) "Nope, a boy."
Man: (smiles wide): "What's its name?"
Me: "Ben."
Man: "He's got beautiful eyes. Hello Ben."
This isn't the first time someone has either mistaken him for a girl or commented that he was a 'pretty' baby. Everyone ALWAYS comments on how big/beautiful his eyes are though.
