Almost 4 Months Old & a Bit of Mama Bragging

Benjamin 1 week old


Benjamin 4 months old!!


Yes, another big headed baby boy! Thankfully they grow into them !!! He is a cutie though!! Stats to come on Thursday!! I wonder how big he is now?!?



I got a nice surprise this afternoon when I picked up Trenton from school. Jefferson Elementary does a test called an IRI, to see where all the students are with reading skills. For Kindergarten, they test on 3 things, letter recognition, letter sounds, and Phonemes (hard to explain but kinda like syllables) . They see how many they can do in 1 minute. I cried when Trenton brought home his results.
Letter Recognition goal of 33---Trenton 69
Letter Sound goal 20------ Trenton 44
Phonemes goal 20----------Trenton 39

Yes I am bragging and I probably should not be, but Trenton and I have been working so hard and practicing nightly. His hard work has really payed off.

Wow! That's definitely something to be proud of and is brag-worthy! WAY TO GO TRENTON!!!

Ben is getting SO cute! I can't wait to see his stats! I weighed Robby the other night and he's about 17lbs. Geesh! lol

I think you're completely justified in bragging. And imagine how Trenton feels, knowing his mom is so proud of him! That's worth heaps. Congratulations to him on those achievements!
And yes, Benjamin is darling!
