Motherhood

My blog has now officially turned into a baby blog, sorry! Since Benz is my life right now, he is the only thing that I have to blog about. I am totally okay with this though. I am loving motherhood and can't believe how much he has grown in the last 8 weeks that he has been alive. He now weighs a whopping 15 pounds and is super chubby! I am also starting to get to know him a little bit better. Lundon and I have discovered that he is pretty laid back and content, but if you don't listen to his little whimper letting you know he needs something, it can get ugly really fast. Lundon says that he gets his quick temper from me, but I beg to differ. He loves car rides, walks, and when I sing and dance to nursery rhymes for him. I am such a dork, but I will do anything to make him laugh and smile. He is a very cuddly baby and hates it when I try to put him down. My life has changed completely and although I can't seem to get anything done, I am enjoying the chaos because I am completely head over heels for my little man.


4 weeks old


Just cuddling with Mom

These last two picture were taken at 7 weeks old. Those cheeks are so chubby and kissable!

He's so cute, and I can only imagine kissing those cutest chubby cheeks. I'm so happy for you! Motherhood is totally great! Hard sometimes, but there's nothing better in the whole world!

I can't believe how chubby he is. I can't fathom you having such a big baby. My boys were both small, and skinny. I want a chubby baby!

OOOOHHH, I totally want to kiss his chubby cheeks. He is such a little man. I can't wait until him and Bentley can start playing together! Fun summer trips back and forth with the both of them from Vegas to Ohio!!! I can tell he is such a sweet little boy!

Isn't being a mom the best! Your little guy is so cute. Thanks for reminding me of that fall. That was one of the best moments for me too. I still remember feeling dazed, I was on autopilot so I didn't realize what had happened!

Oh he is so cute! Aren't we so lucky to be moms? I am so happy you get to stay home and snuggle that baby, rather than wiping thirty first grade noses. Seeing these pictures totally reminds me of my little man. Dawson hit the twenty pound mark when he was three months old, so I know how strong your muscles are getting! Thanks for sharing these cute pics.

For anyone who hasn't seen Benson in person I can vouch for his size. He was in my office today (not alone, he is big but not walking yet) and there was another little boy in at the same time. The other little boy (also cute) is 7 months old and only weighs 2 pounds more than Benson! It was funny to see the two boys next to each other. Five months and 2 pounds apart!

How adorable!!! I can't wait to meet him. Don't tell Darren, but reading about how much you love him and seeing these pictures of a baby that is to die for makes me baby hungry. He is just the cutest and cuddly too, you are one lucky mommy.
By the way, I love the memory you wrote on my blog. That was a great weekend and one where you all got to know me a little too well.

That is one cute litte fatty. Don't tell Tiffany that I saw her comment and know she's baby hungry. I think with me bringing it up every little while and you posting more pictures of the little chubster she'll be great with child in no time at all.
