Ben's one month old

This past month has flown by. Maybe it's because I spent most of it in such a state of exhaustion that I don't really remember it all that clearly. Three kids has definitely been more challenging that I expected/prepared myself for. I can feel ourselves inching towards a daily routine and I can't wait for the day when I can predict nap times, play times, nursing, etc.

For those of you that have children you will understand when I say it feels like Ben's been here all along. He just fits right in. It's like he came home from the hospital and I suddenly can't remember life without him. Rett and Ellie adore him and he is really very tolerant of having them constantly in his face. Rett asks everyday if he can teach him how to crawl, and Ellie picks out toys for him to "play" with and tries to put them in his hand. Very cute!

We've had a little reflux issue so I ended up taking him to the pediatrician on his one month birthday. Low and behold the boy weighs 11.6 lbs!! He gained two pounds in two weeks. Whoo-hoo! Love it when I hear my baby is growing!

Here's Ben on August 8,2011 (his one month birthday)

DO YOU THINK THEY LOOK ALIKE OR WHAT?

Also, it just so happened that we went to my friend Lizzie's house to play on Ben's one month birthday and she did a little mini-photo shoot....here are some of those pics. She did a fabulous job considering he was pretty fussy that day!
