My 1st Thanksgiving

Today was my first Thanksgiving. Mom, Dad, Uncle Mark, Aunt Kristie and I all went over to Great Aunt Suzy's house. I got to meet a whole bunch of my dad's family there. I slept a lot and was held ALL day! They got to eat a whole bunch of yummy looking food, but I just drank my bottle. Must go....I have to mentally prepare myself to go shopping with mom tomorrow morning. She must be crazy....

Ben - Aged 2 weeks

Here I am - 2 whole weeks old. Things have been good. I am eating from a bottle now and I love it. I went to see Dr. Park for a checkup on Monday. She saidI am doing very well and am on track as far as weight gain. I heard her say something about shots when I come in at 2 months. Not sure what that means, but it doesn't sound like I am going to enjoy it.

I have been out and about visiting people. I have now napped at Aunt Kristie's house and at Great Grandpa Len's apartment. I have kept Mom and Dad very entertained. I have "wowed" them with all of my array of facial expressions and my ability to soil a diaper (and the wall and my clothes and their clothes and (oops) my face) before it's even fastened on me. I have watched more episodes of Law and Order with my Dad than most grown-ups and have learned so much from the many hours of TLC that I watch with my mom.

Mom and Dad are taking me out to dinner for my 2 week birthday. I wonder what I will order...if I don't fall asleep on the way there. Mom has put me in pants and a hoodie today. Buh-bye to those sleepers!!

Tomorrow I am going to have my first modeling session at Proex. Mom's friend Diana is going to take my picture. I sure hope they don't do anything embarrasing.....

I'll miss you Grandma Lola!!

Well, I'm just over a week old now. I've been so busy between eating, sleeping and diaper changes. I love to be held by everyone and have been drinking my food from a little cup.
Everyone is very impressed by how good I am at it - they say I'm so grown up.

Today was a little sad, I had to say goodbye to Grandma Lola until Christmas. I am going to miss her a lot, but I know she loves me a lot. We said we will talk to each other all of the time on the webcam. I told her that even if I am sleeping or screaming when we talk, I love her and am happy that I get to see her and hear her anyways.

We all had dinner and made sure to get some pictures before she left. I can't wait until Christmas when we can all play again.
