Ben is one week old today. He has slept through most of his first week of life. He is usually up a couple times a day for about 45 minutes. He has been a very mellow baby which has been nice for this first week. He had an appointment this morning and he is almost back to his birth weight which is great news. He was born at 7lbs 12.8 oz and he is now 7lbs 12 oz. He got down to 7lbs 3 oz at 2 days old which is too low so it's nice to see him gain.
Charlie is so in love with his new baby brother. Today at dinner we (Charlie) were having a conversation about things firemen might step on (who knows how we got to this conversation???) . They could step on the table, chairs, cups...then Charlie said what if they stepped on our baby? I said oh that would be really bad. We never put a baby on the floor because they could get hurt if somebody stepped on them. All of a sudden Charlie's lip quivered a little and he got tears in his eyes thinking about Ben getting hurt. I ,of course, cried because I thought it was so sweet that Charlie was so concerned about his baby brother.
All Sam has wanted to do all week is hold Ben. "I carry him." He has also been the kiss king. He wants to give Benjamin kisses whenever possible.
Chris is off to work tomorrow for the first time since Ben was born. Wish us all luck....

I can't believe it's only been a week. What are you doing blogging already???!!!! You have three kids. You are a superhero. Good luck tomorrow, I hope that they are all cooperative and that we have a heat wave so that you don't have to uber bundle three boys each time you go out the door.
Beautiful photos, Tami. The story about Charlie looking out for Benjamin was adorable. Congratulations on your new addition!
Silly... you were crying because you are post-partum! :)
