Yes, I am officially a bad blogger. Hopefully my faithful (few) followers are actually still checking to see if we are still blogging. I haven't blogged in WAY TOO LONG. Forgive me please! Martin is doing great, and we are gearing up for our Beach Trip!!! We are headed to Fort Morgan, and I cannot wait to get my toes back in the sand, and get some stuffed shrimp at The Oyster House and fried cheesecake at King Neptune's!!! Hey, don't knock it til you try it. And, if you haven't tried it there, you are missing out. We ordered it once with my Aunt and Cousin out of curiosity, and now when we start talking about going to the beach that is one of the first things that comes to mind. But, so as to not sound like someone obsessed with food, I will stop talking about the food aspect now! I need some more sun, and I can't wait to walk on the beach and pick up shells. My mom and I joke that I really am becoming more crunchy granola everyday. Maybe I am more like my hippies for parents than I realized!! I am still making Martin's food, and he is still loving it. He likes everything except PEAS. But, he gets it honest, I hate them too....and let's face it, they are nasty looking, tasting, and smelling! Our two latest loves are squash and zucchini. He likes both. He also eats puffs now, and tries to stick a bunch in his mouth at once. That boy loves a good snack!
Martin now has 3 teeth, and #4 is very close. You can see the bottom two really good in the picture, and the one on top if you look closely. He is still sleeping great at night. Sometimes a little too great, I get worried and have to go peek in the nursery to check on him when I don't hear him on the monitor. He helps me all day. I can never go far without him following me. He is pulling up on everything!!!! And, even walking while holding on to different things (love seat, couch, chairs). It won't be long now, and I will be chasing him all over the house and/or neighborhood! He loves to swing outside, and loves to help me water flowers in the front (anything that gets him outside is great with him). He claps now. Mainly for the TV....that Moose on Nick Jr. is just so talented -- makes Martin clap every time. And, he claps for himself a lot too! He talks non stop all day long! Mainly da da da, but that is ok with me, maybe when he gets a little older and starts calling for one of us when he wakes up he will call for Daddy!
Bryan and I are still doing Couch to 5k, and we are on week 7. It really is going well. I am so impressed that we have stuck with it. We are doing our first 5k together July 3--Firecracker 5k in Memphis. Here is hoping we can finish with a decent time! Bryan is really doing much better than I am (faster, not as out of breath when we finish)....but in my defense, I never get to run alone like he does. Such is life with an 8 month old. Big weekend at the Benton house! Our 5 year anniversary was Friday. And, then on Sunday was Bryan's birthday and first Father's Day. What a great 5 years with a great man and now Daddy. We had a great weekend!! Martin stayed in the nursery during church yesterday for the first time, and sweet little Mrs. Joy said "he was so happy, and boy does he love music". Yes, he does! Glad he was so good in there, I was scared to death about leaving him, and watched the beeper like a hawk during the service. But, I enjoyed actually hearing the sermon, and I know he had a great time with LOTS of attention. Speaking of attention, I need to give baby boy some fruit and oatmeal, so I will close here. I promise to be a better blogger!!
