Already 1 week old


I have a feeling I am going to blink and then it is going to be Benjamin's 1st birthday. Time flies when there is no separation between night and day. Although I am exhausted things are going really well. I am trying to take naps as often as I can. Tom keeps sneaking pictures of me.Benjamin is a good eater and is very peaceful and content when he is awake. With Benjamin's sweet little spirit in our house we now feel the presence of our Heavenly Father so much stronger. We are so blessed to have been able to bring our little guy into this world.







Happy 1 week birthday Benjamin!!!!!

Congratulations Violet! he is so handsome. I am so glad to see that you and the babe are healthy. Do you remember that Benjamin Thomas is my brother's name!?!? How cool! And Ben was born on Lyla's half birthday!

I hope you can get some sleep. If you are ever feeling deprived in that department, read On Becoming Baby Wise. It is a great book and it will save your life, or at least your eight hours of night sleep. Congrats Again!!

Derek and Emily said...

Congratulations! You have a beautiful little boy there. And if you do blink, they'll completely change. I still can't get over the fact that my baby is 25 years old. Wasn't he just in diapers? Take lots and lots of pictures. You can almost see them change from picture to picture.

Kristen said...
