Places to go and people to see

Well, we have had a very busy few days and Benjamin has been such a trooper! I think part of the reason we've been so busy is that he's been sleeping 8-10 hours at night, so Mommy and Daddy actually feel like getting out and doing something!

Over the weekend, we got together with friends several times for movies, football games, etc., and even went for our first family portrait - previews coming soon! We enjoyed church Sunday morning and a potluck lunch after the service - though a blow-out diaper prevented Mommy from hearing much of the sermon. Thus, a bath was in order for Sunday afternoon...

I think Benjamin thought it was kinda funny :)

Then, the inevitable happened ... on Monday evening, we got our first real snow ... here's Will digging out to go to work on Tuesday morning...

Thankfully, the roads were clear by the time we had to leave to go to Benjamin's two-month check-up ... yes, he's really two months old already!! He now weighs 11 lbs, 11 ozs and is 22.5 inches long - right at the 50th percentile. He was even a trooper at the dr's office when an emergency with another patient required us to wait for quite a while, leaving Benjamin very ready for a nap!

Then last night, we braved the winter weather again to go to our prayer group, which is always so refreshing for Will and me! However, I did discover that people weren't kidding when they talked about the need to wear snowboots ... my running shoes were no match for the slush we had to walk through on the sidewalks. I've officially learned my lesson :)

Anyway, Benjamin slept through most of prayer group - despite another blow-out diaper :) But thankfully, Mommy dealt with it lots faster than the last one (learned my lesson there too) and didn't miss much of the group. On the way home, Benjamin fell into a deep sleep since it was almost 10:00 and way past his usual bedtime. He was so cute sleeping in his carrier with his big winter hat over his eyes, I just had to share some video - listen carefully and you can hear his sleepy breathing; watch carefully and you can see him still sucking on his binky every now and then...



Sorry the video's sideways - i can't figure out how to fix it :)
