Benjamin Turns 1!

One month that is.... Here are some of his "1 month" pictures. Several people have commented on how "old" he looks for being so young. Mom and Dad haven't been sure how to take the comments or why they've come. It wasn't until the Dr. actually stated, "he's only 1 month, huh? He looks like a 2 month old." Still not quite sure what that's supposed to mean. Anyone care to fill them in? Could it be the receding hair line? Which is already looking like it's filling in again - still reported to have more hair than Abie.

In case you want to know the specifics: 10 lbs 4 oz, 21"

Labor Day

Late in the evening on Labor Day the Lewis' made a trip to the hospital, uncertain if this was it since Jacqie had been induced with Abie and never really experienced contractions. So they casually got the paperwork started as Jacqie admitted she wasn't really having them anymore. But they immediately got things into full swing realizing she was at 7cm! Apparently it doesn't take much to have things working! Abie was quickly pawned off with some friends and a few hours later "Little Buddy" made his grand entrance. He weighed 8lb 2oz and measured 20."

Then he slept....and slept... Basically he's a good sleeper and needs a lot of encouragement to wake up and attempt to eat. He's got lots of dark hair, and now officially has a name! Benjamin Taylor Lewis.

Buddy's Room

While the newest arrival has yet to be determined a name (currently known as Little Buddy) his room is ready. Mostly meaning that the pink walls have been replaced with an obvious green. A little more "green" than desired, but given time & money, it'll work!

Abie has definitely noticed a difference but hasn't shown any real concern or desire to crawl into the crib! Just likes playing with the pile of blankies.
