Baby Ben's 2 Week Check-Up

I know i am behind on my blogging. For that i apologize. We just got our Internet Saturday and i always like to include pictures which i haven't quite figured out how to do from my phone...yet. So here is my attempt at catching you up on everything that is new with Baby Ben or Benjaroo as we call him. Ben had his 2 week check up last Wednesday. He was 7 lbs and 15 ounces. They weighed him with his diaper on but that is still a significant gain from the 7 lbs 1 ounce that he was one week before. Yes, 14 ounces in a week. He likes the milk. :) He was 20 1/2 inches which means he has grown an inch in his first two weeks. He is a wonderful baby. He loves all the activity. I guess it is a good thing. He doesn't like to be alone. He has a set of lungs but only uses them when he realizes he is alone. That might be bad later on. I am thinking he will get tired of all the kids in his face and will welcome the peace of his own room as he gets bigger. He smiles and chuckles in his sleep. I am not sure what could be so funny at his age, maybe it is his daddy's face. HA! He is usually awake for a bit in the morning and then again at night. Those periods of alertness are getting longer. He just looks around as if he is taking it all in. He is a beautiful baby and i could not have asked for a better one. The Lord has blessed me with four wonderful babies. I am so thankful.

Note: Birth announcements will be arriving sooner or later. By the time i get around to making them i would bet on later. :)
