In Ben's second month there have been many changes. He has grown so much! He's nearing 15 pounds, is much longer and is putting on chubby rolls all over the place. He can smile, reach for objects and even kind of sing along to songs he knows.
But the biggest event of his past month was his Midwest Tour. We visited friends, grandparents and great grandparents over the course of 2 and a half weeks. It looked a little like this:
LA>Denver, CO>Fremont, NE>Denver, CO>Chicago, IL>South Bend, IN>Grand Rapids, MI>Chicago, IL>Denver, CO>LA
or by time zone, it looked like this:
Pacific>Mountain>Central>Mountain>Central>Central -DST>Eastern>Central>Mountain>Pacific
So any routine that we had worked out with Ben has been thrown out the window.
The best part to come out of the trip was that Ben went on his first college visits. Our tour of the University of Colorado was shortened by rain, but the little guy seemed to like campus. Later we visited my alma mater, Lake Forest College, and he slept through my engaging tour. Lastly we visited Notre Dame and talked with an admissions counselor about Ben's admittance to the class of 2031.
Enjoy the pictures!
