"March Madness"
Ben is quite the charmer in front of the camera! This month, he turned 5 months old on the 23rd. His four month check up put him at 17 lbs and 26 inches long, so we'll see what months 5 & 6 do! His newest thing is sticking out his tongue, and he gets especially giggly just before going to sleep. He loves soft things - especially on his face! We are working on rolling over... keep your fingers crossed for that one! :) The doctor gave us the go ahead to give him solids after his 4 month check
up (February 23rd) but we waited to start fresh at the beginning of this month. Here are some snapshots of how that went down:
Everything is set up and ready to go!
Ben is thinking, "I'm not sure about this cereal business!"
It was so good, he licked the leftovers off his bib! :)

Then of course, there was St. Patrick's Day. We went to Lewi & Bonnie's annual party. They even had "flare!"
<3 Thad & me: Thad had been traveling around doing boat shows on the weekends, but except for a trip to Michigan, he was home for most of March. I have signed up for Graduate School and start in May! We both ventured to the dentist this month for the first time in many, many years... the verdict was NOT good! Thad had four cavities and I had.... drum roll please!..... NINE! Oh my, I wish I was speaking German so I could say I had none ;) haha It will be an adventure getting those bad boys taken care of! Aside from that, we are still silly and have the best time together! Our five year anniversary is coming up this year in July :) Yay for LOVE!
Murr-dog: Murray turned 4 last month and is doing okay. He still has those random seizures, but we just continue to love him and keep up to date with all his shots and Heartguard pills! He seems pretty happy-go-lucky otherwise and now that the weather is warming up, he looks for his friends Beckham (golden retriever) and Rocko (german shepard) to play with through the fence! He also likes to snuggle with Ben at Grammy's house and do tummy time in Ben's room
Other than that, everything is going well in the Nurmi household. Stay tuned for the April update... don't worry, that one will be timely ;)
