Torman Family Pictures

When we went to Utah we took some family pictures. Pretty good looking family if you ask me!

Bradley's face says it all!

Problem solved

6 Months

Bennett is 6 months already. He's growing up too fast. He's sitting up like a pro, he loves eating solids, and he seems ready to crawl at any moment. He'll get up on his haunches and rock back and forth. It shouldn't be too long now before he's terrorizing the house.  He also often emits a mixture of singing, yelling, talking, and crying.

Stats:
Weight: 20.8 oz (he's a chubby little guy)
Height: 28 in

Likes: he loves to be moving, he won't sit still (like his daddy). He loves all the new food he's trying like bananas, peas, and prunes (but not so much avocado).


Here are some of the pictures that we had taken by a friend from the ward. She did a great job! I still need to get some in his tie shirt

This one's A-Rod style.

Goofball

This little guy is such a goofball he makes us laugh all the time.

He's sitting up really well now, but occasionally he gets distracted and tips over. I found him tipped over just lounging on Lincoln's leg.  He loves hanging out with his daddy.

 This is the cute outfit that Grandma Judy got us. It's not quite Halloween but we needed something warm to wear on an outdoor adventure. It even glows int the dark (see video below)

     *Update: After posting this I realized you really can't see him in the dark. It shows up better on the camera. If you look really close you can see him kicking.

Bennett has been trying his hardest to crawl. It's super funny he's got the right motions he just can't get his big belly off the ground!

More Bennett

Trying to drink his bottle sitting up. Notice he's not in a Bumbo. His legs have been to chubby for a few months now.

I think he's probably rolling his eyes at Lincoln

It's been getting colder here. Our house was 65° the other day. I'm not ready to turn the heater on. We'll just bundle up. He looks really cute all bundled anyway!

He plays really well by himself and he's starting to talk (squeal). Some times he sounds like a baby raptor. I'll have to try and get a video of that.

Aggies and Vikings

Here are some more pictures...

We went to a friends house to watch the USU vs. Utah game (they're Utah fans) so we dressed for the occasion. It was fun to watch the Aggies win. We will be headed over to their house again for the Utah vs. BYU game. We will be wearing red!

The cutest little viking ever. My cousin Sam crochets all sorts of fun things. She does a great job. We love the hat!

Also he's sitting up really well now, which means he plays a lot better by himself!

Labor Day Weekend

It's been great living close to family. We get to visit sometimes on 3-day weekends. We went down for Labor Day. It rained a lot, but we went to the Bourne Supremecy and canned apple sauce. We even got to go swimming once it stopped raining. Oh and I chopped my hair off...more to come on that later!

Grandma's first time feeding Bennett cereal

Lillie changing Bennett's diaper

Lincoln felt the need to document this moment

Swimming, I had no idea Lillie was behind us!

I can't get over how cute he is

He loves to play with his toys and always manages to get his feet tangled up in them

 

Bennett LOVES taking baths. I don't think he understands when there's water and when there's not!

5 Months!

Holy cow it goes by so fast. I feel like he's HUGE! This month we don't have a doctor's appointment so the stats are from the wii and my sewing tape again!

Weight: 19lbs! No wonder my arm hurts all the time
Height: 29in

Likes:  His new toys (johnny jump jump and an exer-saucer), singing songs with Dad (mainly about Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys, British privateers, the Alamo, sinking the Bismarck, the Battle of New Orleans, Grierson's Raiders, and for some reason Old Yeller); going on stroller rides to the park; swimming in the bathtub (mostly breast stroke, like his mother); sucking/chewing on carrot sticks

Dislikes:  Keeping his diaper and lower back poopless when his Dad takes him to neighbors' parties; letting Mom sleep through the night; the new tooth coming down from his top gums, keeping the bumbo, himself, and anything else in a 4-ft radius clean during cereal-feeding time



Here are the pictures. He's very stubborn and would only smile at Dad, so that's why he is not looking at the camera.
