The pups transition

Our little baby sitter Georgia 

Ever since Bennett came home our dogs have been extra cuddly - with each other and with people. While grandma Shirley was here - if I was holding Bennett then the pups where on her lap - and vice versa! 


 
Super interested in the baby


Ginny takes every opportunity to sleep in the boppy whenever she has the chance!

3 weeks old

Day 1
The time had flown by! It may be because my days have blurred together with feedings every 2- 3 hours. My little man has changed so much in the 21 days he has been on "the outside". He is now starting to focus on things, he makes the cutest little faces, smiles a lot in his sleep, he is so strong - since day one he led his head up and pushe his legs straight to stand when being held, he army crawls up my cest when I am holding him, and stretches his arms out just like his daddy. I'm loving that I can comfort him like no one else. He recognizes my voice. He is a cuddle bug. He has already grown out of his newborn cloths. 

I told Chris it's crazy how I grew him! I said I have a green thumb in growing babies! - and he said - good thing he wasn't a tomato :) (tomato experiment of 2013 was not very successful)

I am feeling so blessed to have this little man - my little Prince Charming as Chris calls him - in my life.

The struggles we have been through in order to become parents has been worth it to end up with Bennett. 

God has a plan - and I am so blessed to have this be in his plan.

Small accomplishments

Today I was able to get Bennett to nap in his crib. I guess I have spoiled him because he prefers to sleep in someone's arms. 

No matter how small this seems... It is actually a huge step for us! Baby steps but still! 



I love this little man more than words can say

First smile caught on camera...

 Probably from gas but I'm still loving it!


The many faces of Bennett...



I am so in love!
