Ben's not-so birthday

Tuesday was Bens due date; however he is now three weeks old.  It's a good time to check in on his progress and see how much he has grown ex utero. Margaret says I should say post-partum but I think it's funnier this way. Here is his growth in reverse chronological order:

Why do all babies do this? Any hypothesis? Sometimes ben will be stuck in the whistling position for a few minutes as if this is normal.

Ben was banished to the basement for excessive fussing at 2am.  Garage and I joined him in his exile. Of coarse once we got down there they both fell asleep.

This is two week old Ben.

Week and a half...

One Week...

Couple of days.

Weigh in at a few days old.  I am happy to report he is a chubby boy now at > 7lbs.

Back in the day when all he would do is sleep.  I miss those days.

First day home



Remember when this baby was in there? Also that sunflower bloomed.



Initial reaction of the tribe

John is especially fond of him



This is a yawn not a cry.

Edie is usually much happier while holding Ben than she is demonstrating in this photo.  I made the mistake of telling her to smile.

We even got Oscar to come say hi on Bens first day home.


First time we saw him open his eyes for realzy.

It was short lived.

Hours old here! (also first outfit!)


Minutes old here!

Seconds old here!
