Week two of being a family of four. Yesterday marked Ben's 1-week birthday, and his first trip to the pediatrician. He passed with flying colors! My little chow hound weighed in at 8 lbs 7.5 oz, or 1.5 oz over his birth weight, which (I guess) is a big deal at a week old to already have surpassed birth weight. They also measured his height at 21 1/4 inches (or 1/2 inch over birth height). The way height is measured is about the most unscientific measurement in the world, so I'm doubtful that he grew 1/2 inch in a week, but I guess stranger things have occurred.
Eric also went back to work yesterday, which left me alone with both babies. After quickly realizing that getting what I wanted to get done for the day wasn't going to happen, we regrouped, made a bigger mess with toys, and took some pictures to commemorate our survival of day 1 all alone.
one week old
begging me to let her take the pictures
I challenge you to find a sweeter pair of faces
I think she's wondering why all he does is sleep and eat
but then quickly discovered that sleeping Ben makes a good ottoman
