Newest #1 Steelers Fan

Pittsburgh meet Benjamin!  We just had the best time today!  Tyler ran the 5k while Ben and I waited for him at the finish line. Tyler had a personal best today, 23 minutes!!  Im so proud of him and his hard work. 

Initially, I wanted to walk the race w Ben in the stroller, but when we got there, everyone was in beast mode, I didn't see any stroller runners.  The last 5k Tyler ran, there were stroller runners everywhere. I decided to sit this one out. My official first 5k  will be The Color Run in October!  We will be doing that w our friends in columbus. 

Benjamin 3 months 

Little Pacers Childcare

Benjamin loves his teacher, Ms. Ashley. She takes such great care of him and keeps him so busy all day!  We love that he is cared for in a home environment while being able to socialize with other kiddos all day. There is a kid named Owen who make Benjamin laugh so loud. I love that he is making friends already at such a young age. 

Strong neck

He's such a big boy now!  His neck is so strong.  Instead of whining and screaming during tummy time, he now likes it.  When I'm getting ready for the day, I put him on his tummy to play.  My mom also scared me saying that he will have a flat head if I don't keep him off of his back.  I've been obsessed with having him lie on his side or belly.  

Sir Grips A Lot

Ben is learning how to grip things now.  It is so cool to see him stare at things trying to understand it.  We are just having so much fun watching him grow up everyday.  It is just going by so fast.  I can't believe he is already 3 months!

He always falls asleep on his way home from daycare.  The drive is only 4 minutes!

Classroom

It's been so busy with the new school year starting!  Ben went into school with me to set up the class.  It took a lot longer to set up the class this year because of having little Ben in my life now.  Although there was always someone watching him that I totally trusted, I couldn't stop thinking about what he was up to long enough to get anything done.  There were times when I stared at the pallets I needed to unload and started to daze off into "Ben Land".  My heart actually ached because I wanted to be home with him so bad.  I thought that I would be a mess with him going to daycare, but with it being so busy, I haven't had time to daze off into that Ben Land.

Classroom is all set up.  

The year has begun.  

Trying to keep my head above water.

It is so much harder being a mommy now and going back to work.  How did women before me do this?  There is so much guilt involved now.  I'm just taking it day by day.
