Long time, no post

We've been very busy since I last posted. Bentley and I were in Arkansas for 2 weeks. Two weeks is just enough time to visit everyone a couple times and eat at the places I've missed (Daylight Donuts, Miguels, Sonic, Homey Hearth, etc.). We were constantly going, which we are not used to. This was Bentley's second plane trip and he did fantastic again. On all but one plane we had an empty seat next to us so we could spread out a little bit. I didn't take very many pictures while we were there, but here are a few.

Bentley with his cousins, Abbie and Simon. Simon didn't want to pose for pictures.

He was getting really cranky because I had to keep waking him up to get him in and out of the carseat so I just carried the whole carseat into the house. I was telling a girl I used to work with about it and she brought her infant carrier for us to borrow. I am now very thankful we have the carrier at home. He almost always fall asleep in the car.

I taught him how to "give sugars." Here he is giving very slobbery sugars to his Aunt Erin.

He was trying so hard to roll over, but his arm was always in the way. The night we got home I laid him on the floor and he just flipped right over. Now every time I lay him on his back, over he goes. At first he would roll back over to his back (he started belly to back rolling at 2 months), but now it's like he forgot how. He doesn't really like being on his tummy for very long so he just gets mad.

First sippy cup experience: I put a little bit of milk in his sippy cup so he could practice with it. He did really well. I was surprised that he even held it.

Paul graduated from his second class today. He will start his third and final class at the end of May and he will graduate at the end of September. Hopefully then we will get to move. If he does get stationed here, we will be putting in for a change of residence. I don't like to complain, especially about something that we aren't having to pay for, but our house is soooo small. It's a long story, but we ended up with a two bedroom instead of three. There is a major size difference in the living space. Paul "cleaned" while I was gone, but really what he did was take all of Bentley's stuff up into his room. So of course I had to bring it all back down when we got home so we're cluttered again. It's going to be a real challenge to babyproof this place. I should probably start working on that.
