A Beary Cute Boy!

Dressing Up

Mom is having so much fun dressing up Benjamin! He looks just like a little doll today, doesn't he?

Eric updated this today as well with the new pictures on top. They were taken by my great friend Anne who just graduated from photography school. She currently lives in Boston but was home to visit and took some incredible pictures!

Here is her website, so you can check out all of her great work:

A BUSY week!

Sorry we've been missing in action, but as you can tell from the title of this post, we have been SO busy the past week! On Thursday, we were extremely busy! Benjamin got a visit from some of his new friends and their moms from Farrand, where mom works. The top picture is Olivia, Benjamin, and Mary Jane trying to get a picture, how funny is that?!?!

Benjamin also went on his first major outing on Thursday-a trip to Detroit for our dear friends Mike and Molly's wedding rehearsal. He even got to go to the very fancy Detroit Athletic Club for dinner afterwards, and he was perfect. Barely a peep out of him! He of course got lots of attention and loved every minute of it!

On Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa Weaver babysat Benjamin while his mom and dad went to the wedding, and he did great there too! He really likes when grandma sings to him and grandpa even got to change his first poopy diaper!

On Sunday, Benjamin stayed with daddy for a few hours while mom went to her school's 50th birthday party. Again he was an angel!

We can't believe how big he's getting and how much he's changing in such a short time. Every day is a new adventure, and we're loving every minute of it!

My BFF

Our good friends Curt and Courtney brought over their daughter, Alexandra, on Saturday to meet Benjamin. We have already decided that they are going to be best friends, and possibly even boyfriend and girlfriend in the future! :) Alexandra and Benjamin hung out in his crib, and even grabbed hands a few times! Alexandra also decided she'd really like his MSU bib and started pulling on it, which Benjamin did not appreciate very much. They were so cute together!

Go State!

Benjamin watched his first MSU football game yesterday and loved every minute of it! We think he might be the good luck charm State needs to have a great season and FINALLY beat Michigan!

We had a great time dressing him up in his Spartan gear! Thanks Susan and Jordan for the adorable outfit!

1 Week Old!

It is so hard to believe that a week has already gone by since Benjamin was born! He is still doing great. Last night we were able to get 9 hours of sleep, interrupted by feedings every 3 hours of course, but it felt great! :)

We also went to the doctor today for another weight check, and he is 8 lbs, 5 oz! We cannot believe that he gained 9 ounces in 3 days. We are so fortunate that everything has gone so well and he is so healthy. I have a feeling he's going to be a big boy!

We are excited for his first MSU game tomorrow (on TV of course, not going to the real thing!) and will definitely post pictures of him in his MSU gear! Go Green!

Doing great!

We are so happy to report that Benjamin has figured out the difference between day and night! He FINALLY slept last night, about 2-3 hours at a time, which was wonderful for his mom and dad! He has been awake much more during the day and we are having so much fun with him. Yesterday we went for his first walk. He also took his first of many trips to Target and did great!

We went to the doctor yesterday and everything looks outstanding! He has gained back 5 ounces in 3 days, so his doctors were very impressed. He barely even cried at the doctor, although he did manage to pee all over his mom :) Mom didn't mind a bit.

We are working on getting some videos loaded so stay tuned!
