Birthday Present for Mommy

Yesterday was my birthday and we had a great day! Since it was a Wednesday and therefore Steve's short work day, I got to spend lots of quality time with both of my boys. We played in the morning and then in the afternoon we went for a walk in a park on campus. There were some beautiful leaves and we decided to get some pictures of Benjamin.

Happy Boy!

Benjamin gave me the best birthday present a baby could give his mom - he slept for 11 hours in a row for the first time! Thank you Benjamin!

Recent Activities:
-He seems to prefer sucking on his right hand, especially when trying to fall asleep. However, he is happy to suck on his left hand sometimes too.
-He is starting to startle at more things, but it doesn't seem to upset him too much.
-I'm sure everyone wants to know this, but he seems to have less bowl movements per day.
-He takes around 6 oz. in a bottle, as we found out when Steve took me out to dinner last night and Grandma Zusman kindly took care of Benjamin.

The following are miscellaneous pictures of Benjamin from yesterday and today that I love.
Can you tell I brushed his hair?




What a cutie!
