Watch Ben Grow....and grow!

Ben is starting to coo and "play" with toys. He can swat at things and loves to look at toys. The boys fight over who can make him smile and put toys in front of him....of course this makes Ben cry because they are yelling in his face at each other. That's brotherly love!

Ben's Baptism

Ben was baptized this morning. It was a wonderful service! He smiled up at our new pastor while he was being baptized.

"Mom, take a picture." Charlie wants every moment with Ben photographed these days.

We are in the middle of an artic freeze. The high today and Thursday is suppose to be 0! Charlie and Sam have been busy creating buildings downstairs out of the canned food we store down there. They've also been busy doing Lite-Brite. I'm glad they are finding things to do that don't require us to get in the car and freeze.

Ben is 2 months old

Ben is 2 months old already. We went to the doctor on Friday and he is doing great. He definitely has nursing down....he's 16 pounds 5 oz already! He was 24 inches already as well. No wonder he is wearing 6-12 month sized clothing most of the time already!

He was born at about 20 inches and just under 8 pounds so the growing genes are growing strong. He must know he needs to pack on the pounds for future wrestling matches with his older brothers.

Charlie was 14 pounds 1 oz and 23 1/2 inches at 2 months and Sam was 14 pounds 3 oz and 22 1/4 inches!

The chubby cheek smile...we love to see these.

The half smile shows up all of the time.
