Our Little Elf

Don't you just want to pinch his chubby cheeks??? :)


Ben loves his Christmas bib from Granma Cathie!!!

Ben's Many Faces...

Smiley boy!


Hmmm...not too sure about this Mama!


In the middle of a smile...

Are we done yet???

Every parents dream...

Ben slept through the night!!! He went to sleep around 10:30pm and didn't get up to eat until 5:30am!!! So exciting! I don't expect this to happen every night but now at least I know he is capable of it... I of course woke up a few times to make sure he was still alive and even poked him once when I couldn't tell if he was breathing...he was breathing and I got a little grunt in return :)

6 week Checkup

Ben had his 6 week check up this past Monday. He is doing great! He weighed in at 12 lbs 2 oz...what a bubba! He has also grown and inch and a half and his head has grown an inch and a quarter. We don't go back until 4 months unless we have to!

Santa Loves Me...

Ben's Christmas outfit from his Granma Cathie

Smiley Boy!

Ben has started smiling...A big gummy grin :) This is his new jumparoo that we set up for his cousin to play in while he was visiting...Ben wanted to be the first to try it out.

Ben's New Hat

I bought this hat for Ben at Old Navy...I love it! He just looks so cute!!!

Ben and His Cousin Landon

Me, Brittany, Landon and Ben at our house...

Brittany and Landon came in to visit on Dec. 7th. It was the first time that Brittany and Landon got to meet Ben. As you can see from the picture down below Landon just wants to eat his cousin!


Brent, Ben and I in front of our red door...


So sweet...


Mmmm...Ben your head is so tasty...

Ben's New Trick

The Pacifier Flip!

The pacifier was in his mouth...when I checked on him he had flipped it out onto his blanket!


He can even do this trick while sleeping! LOL!!!

Funny Little Guy

Ben's Fish Face
He has made this face since birth and it is Granma Cathie's favorite... I'm glad we finally caught it on camera!


Ben's New Outfit
I think he kind of looks like a chipmunk here!

Ben is really getting big! Next Monday we go for his 6 week checkup (6 weeks already???) - I can't wait to see what he weighs. It should be a lot since he eats almost every 2 hours during the day! At night he has been pretty good - lately he has about a 5 hour stretch between at least one feeding then it is back to every 2-3 hours. He does go right back to sleep after eating though so there hasn't been hardly any nighttime crying (I know I just jinxed myself by saying that...). During the day he sleeps, eats, sometimes plays and fusses. He also is quite the grunter...during sleeping and eating.
On Friday Ben's Aunt Brittany and Cousin Landon are coming out to visit. It will be the first time they have seen Ben. I am super excited to have someone to hang out with during the day and of course just to see them!!!
