Three Weeks Old!

First of all, if you are the one person that we know that hasn't seen the pictures Tammy took of Benton, you must click on this link. They are amazing, and we have no idea which 50 (just kidding Hunter) to order. Luckily, we will get a coffee table book to go along with our session. http://www.marcelainphotography.com/slideshows/Benton/
Benton is three weeks old today. I absolutely can't imagine our lives without him. Every time I look at him I think that his cheeks look chubbier. I couldn't believe it today when I put on a three month outfit, and it fit. Where has my tiny baby gone? He thinks he's big because he is constantly trying to hold his head up and look around. These pictures are not in the right orders, but oh well.
On Friday night, we left him with babysitters (Nana and G-Daddy) for the first time and went to a party. He was very well behaved in our absence.

Here is our family at baby blessing at church. I couldn't remember if I'd already posted it.

We made it to church on time!


I'm so grown up!

Thank you Brian and Haylee for my cute collared onesie!

I like to look at my turtle while I get my pants changed.

Now that my cord has fallen out, I take my baths in the kitchen jacuzzi sink.

I get very awake and lounge in my tub.

Mom usually finds me sleeping with my hands stretched out and the puppies guarding me.

When guest blogger Michelle did her who loves Benton post, she left out one family member. Fred dog loves Benton very much. Poor guy has been cooped up in the house while our mud turns into grass, but he hasn't minded too much. I can already tell he loves his baby too. He follows Benton around wherever he might be, sleeps under his cradle, and comes to alert me when he cries. Never once has he been anything but gentle. He gives him a few sniffs, but I haven't even caught a face lick yet. We love our Fred boy!


Benton enjoyed his tummy time today.

I like my swing, but only for a few minutes. This is where I watch mom eat her cereal.

Gotta run, Benton is ready to eat!

Precious post - I can't imagine life without Benton either! Can't count how many times I have watched his slide show. :-) We are so very blessed.

He looks so grown up in his onesie. And yes, I think he gets a little chubbier everytime I look at him, too.

You are a great mommy!

He looks happy and loved and very content. What a blessed little boy. His hair looks strawberry blonde in the pictures! My neighbours at the spa even got called in to see the slideshow of Benton, that was absolutely awesome!
