What's New?

It's finally here! The Rhodes Family Blog!!!! haha I've been trying to start a blog for about a year now so, this is a pretty exciting day. (I know... Terrible) 

Right now we're on summer break. Ben is working pretty much three different jobs. He got hired on at the Mayor's office to do some work for something called Envision Madison. He is also doing an internship with Senator Risch down in Idaho Falls. And, on top of all that he is studying like crazy for the LSAT which, he hopes to take in October. 



Carter and I are working very hard to learn new skills like rolling over, chewing food and sitting up. (Well, Carter is learning them i'm just helping him :) He is such a smart little guy! I know most moms will say that about their kids but i'm sure mine is different. ;) He is an excellent sleeper! Occasionally he'll wake up around 3 or 4 wanting to eat but, other than that he is an expert. He is four months old now, weighs  13.8 lbs. and is 26.3 in. tall. (Which is the 90% for hight and the 28% for weight) Growin fast! 



The new excitement in our life right now is baby food. Carter started rice cereal and carrots this week! He's doing an awesome job at learning to coordinate opening his mouth and moving his tongue. It's pretty funny to watch.
