Pumpkin Patch

Today we rode out to Harmon's Pumpkin Patch.  What a great place for little kids- lots of stuff to do.  These are times I wish Bennett was old enough to do those things, but I know he'll be grown before I know it so I better not rush anything.  We went and walked around and snapped a few photos.  Then we found some animals that Bennett enjoyed watching.  It was such a beautiful day so we got some good pictures.

We had a great day and maybe next year we can go again when Bennett will be able to do more stuff.  Not only did we go to the pumpkin patch, we took his 6 month chair pictures yesterday.  He used to sit there while we took them, he now scoots all around on the chair.  :)  I honestly cannot believe 6 months have passed already.  I think back 6 months ago and still remember vividly his birth and our hospital stay.  Some things have gotten easier and then some things more challenging.  Now I look at my son and can't believe how much he has grown.  And he's only going to continue to grow and amaze me more!  He is a beautiful baby and we are so blessed to have him.  Right now he is almost sitting up.  Give him a few more weeks and I think he'll be sitting up really well.  We are starting to feed him food 3 times a day now.  At his 6 month check up, we talked in detail with the doctor about his feedings.  So for breakfast he's eating some oatmeal with bananas and now for lunch and dinner he's eating carrots.  He seems to like both.  I honestly believe he won't be a picky eater.  But I am saying that before giving him peas or green beans.  :)  At his appointment he weighed 18 pounds and measured 26 inches.  He received a good report and we'll go back again in 3 months!!  Dr. Delaney also gave him a book!  They are part of a reading program so at every well visit, Bennett will get a book.  How neat is that?!

Here are his 6 month pictures:
