Ben: Three Months

Ben isn't quite three months, but we will be travelling that day so I thought I would write. We have had a busy December already.
Daycare is going well. He had his first "performance" for Christmas. His class was pushed in to the sanctuary in their buggy strollers while the audience sang Joy to the World. Later that weekend he played Jesus in the children's program at church. He was wide eyed the whole time, but didn't make a peep (a big relief to mom). The kids thought it was fun to have a real baby on stage. He was so popular that Mary (Rebecca Mathis) and Joseph (Parker Smith) had to play crowd control.
We had our first visit with Santa this week. We asked for lots of toys, books and maybe a little rest for Mom and Dad. We also made our first sick visit to the doctor. :( It was just a cold, but Mom and Dad wanted to be sure before the holiday weekend came. Because we went to the doctor we also found out that Ben weighs 15 lbs 3 oz now! No wonder Mom's arms get tired carrying him around.
Today we are packing to head to Kansas to be with Dad's family for Christmas. We will come back to Tulsa next week to celebrate with Mom's family. We look forward to Ben's first Christmas and enjoying the rest of the vacation days we have off to spend with him.
Merry Christmas!
