We were able to bless Bentley on Mother's Day, May 12, 2013. It was such a great way to spend my first mother's day we had so many friends and family come and support us. It is so wonderful to have a worthy husband who holds the priesthood and can bless our family because of it. I just love being a mom and I couldn't have asked for anything more wonderful than being a mom to my sweet Bentley.
I thought I would post on here how we came up with Bentley's name. First of all Bentley wasn't even on our list until the last two months or so. Our original list had Landon, Drake, and Dax on it. I also really liked Wesley but Josh was not fond of that one. I love having a family name as a middle name and I had already decided that if we named him Landon his middle name would be Keith after my grandpa but Keith just didn't go with Drake so I was looking through my family history for some other middle names. As I was looking I found my great great grandpa Joseph C Bentley and just fell in love with the name Bentley. But I wanted it as a first name and not a middle name.
Joseph C Bentley was sent by Brigham young to start the mormon colonies in Mexico so there is a lot of cool history there. As soon as I told Josh he fell in love with the name as well, and although there were still other names on our list both of us kind of knew that we were going to name him Bentley.
As soon as he was born Josh and I both looked at each other and knew that he was our little Bentley. So he is named Bentley after his great great great grandpa and his middle name is Keith after my grandpa.

| I made his whole outfit. I was actually pretty proud of myself and I think it will be kind of cool to have with all his baby stuff when he gets older. |

| He was hungry and not happy we were taking time away from eating to take pictures. |

I didn't know that was how you came up with his name - it's very cute and does seem to fit him so well! I love playing with baby names and loved reading your post - how fun!
