4 Mo

Hi.  It's Bennett.  I want to tell you about my exciting weekend.

On Saturday, everyone in the house wore red and I watched the Huskers for the first time.  It was fun for me.  But, Dad was acting very strange.  He kept getting happy and mad, happy and mad and singing "There is no place like Nebraska."  And I'm not sure why they call it football since the ball is usually in somebody's hands.

Huskered out

Check out my new set of wheels.  Mom bought them at a garage sale on Saturday.

On Sunday I went to the duck race in Vail.  There were so many rubber duckies in the creek, I couldn't find mine.  I was kinda bummed because someone else won my $3000 prize.  Maybe next year. 

Today is Labor Day.  Dad says he is going to teach me about work ethic (funny because he didn't go to work today).  Mom says she is going to teach me about how she pushed me into this world. 

I turned 4 months old yesterday.  This is what the "experts" say I need to accomplish this month(I've already done many of them.  Please let me set my own goals):

•squeal and laugh with delight
•make "raspberry" sounds with lips
•experiment by making new sounds
•make sounds in response to parents
•track moving objects as his head and neck development work together
•roll over—usually from front to back—as muscles continue to develop
•raise up on straightened arms while lying on her tummy, looking all around as neck muscles strengthen
•grasp a rattle with stronger hand muscles
•bear weight on both legs
•start to sleep through the night
•begin to show interest in solid foods by reaching for mom and dad's food at the table or other food in her line of sight
 
I gotta go.  I can barely keep my eyes open - naptime!
