One Month Old and Ben's First Road Trip to Grandma/Grandpa in Dallas

Well, we have survived the first four weeks of Benjamin's life. Now, when I say survive...I mean we made it through those nights with interrupted sleep and sharpening our detective skills. I have learned that my son likes to eat all the time. I am a real live milk bar. We have had an excellent support group help us make it through the month and we are very grateful. Jill came over and I slept for 4-5 hours - I woke up several times but was able to go back to sleep. I cannot say how grateful I am for those hours of sleep. Priceless. Thank you Jill.

But, look at his cute, cute little face.

We drove to Dallas for a surprise birthday party for Frank's brother (Benjamin's uncle). Ben did amazingingly well for such a long road trip. He cried a bit but he did more sleeping than crying (phew...) Benjamin stayed at Grandma's house for the first time. Nicholas really enjoyed holding his new cousin.

I cannot sign off without inserting one of those embarrasing bath photos because well, I am a mom now and that's what moms do. Embarrass our children. ;)
