3 Week Update

Ben is now 3 weeks old. The last week we've enjoyed a visit with Memaw and Papaw Womack. Amelia is, of course, loving all the extra attention. She's going to be so bored next week when it's just Momma and Ben at home with her! I need to try to catch her talking on camera and post it to the blog. She's grown up so much lately and she is such a big talker. Ben is doing great as well. He's growing like a weed. He'll probably be out of the newborn size clothes in another week or two. He's still sleeping well at night. Hopefully he'll keep that up after daddy goes back to work next week! Here are a few pictures from the last week. Hope everyone is doing well!

Quick Update!

Ben is 12 days old today and had to take him in to the doctor for a quick check-up. He now weighs 8 pounds so I can let him sleep as long as he wants at night. Last night it was 6 1/2 hours and I had to wake him up because we had to get ready to go to an appointment this morning. Hopefully tonight will be as long or longer.

Hangin' with my big sis'!

Happy 1 Week Birthday Ben!

Ben's been with us for a week now and, of course, it's hard to imagine life without him. So far he's proved to be a pretty good sleeper. I have to set an alarm at night to wake him up every 3 hours to eat. Hopefully I'll only have to do that for another week or so. We'll ask at his two week check-up next week! Amelia seems to be adjusting well to her "baby brudder" but I think the true test will come in another two weeks when all the visitors are gone and her daddy goes back to work. Here are a few more pictures of the family. Notice Ben's blond hair. He's got a dark patch on the back of his head but everything else is blond!

Hello World!

Amelia's Call of the Wild!

The Services (Recreation) Department is sponsoring a 2-week winter fun time. The kick-off was today at the ski area on base. They had special ski and snowboard specials going on as well as free dog sled rides. We took Amelia out this morning to watch and found out we had to get on "the list" so we went back out this afternoon for our ride. She had a great time. There was a slight moment of trepidation when we think she thought she was going by herself. Michael said that she started squealing as soon as he peeled her off of his neck and turned her around in his lap. She was sad when her turn ended but she really enjoyed it!
