Hi everyone,Bea continues to grow grow grow! She visited the doctor earlier this week with her first cold of the season. The cold is no fun and has turned her into a snot-monkey, but she is gaining weight really well and is now 10lbs 11oz! With the onset of "cold and flu season", she got her first Synogist shot today which will help her little lungs fight off the dreaded RSV virus. Most kiddos will get RSV during the winter months and this shot provides Bea with extra oomph to fight it off when and if she gets it. She said the shot was just terrible and tried to kill the nurse who gave it to her, but now is kicking away in her bouncy chair. If only we could all forgive and forget so easily.
In other news, M flew to VT last weekend for her friend Katie's wedding. The wedding was beautiful and she got to spend much needed quality time with her oldest and bestest friends and is much rejunvenated. D and Bea bonded at home, complete with many long walks and football watching at a friend's house. M, albeit exhausted, was so happy to see her family on Sunday night.Here is the little one enjoying her nightly story time with D. More pictures to come soon!

Wow! That's "Madeline" isn't it? I recognize the drawing. It was my favorite book throughout my childhood. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to see you reading it to Bea.
I think the same thing about shots. Gaia forgives and forgets, but Faolan is much less so. He is now interested in the scientific process/procedure before allowing the doctor to do anything! Thank goodness kids get these vaccines before they have full strength and brain power to fight back. :) I wish I could find English books so easily, but have made the leap to trying to read (and understand) books in Italian.
Love to all, The Benedicts
