Ben is sooooo tiny!!

Wee little face

Bassinet

He looks so much like Peter did as a baby!

Mom says he's got a long tongue. 

Itsie bitsie feeties

Very alert. 

Though his eyes are still aligning and he's often cross-eyed or got lazy eyes.

Playing with Momma

Maybe not exactly enjoying it....

Never mind, it's all good. 

...He almost looks like he's smiling....

Friday night:

Back at home!!!

Spending some quality baby-holding and visiting time.

Saturday:

Ben's baby quilt. 

Peter took this picture and it's a tad out of focus, but that's alright.
It's a sun ray cutting through the clouds, over a meadow and onto the water.

I tried taking pictures of Baby Ben this afternoon.

Didn't work so well since he cries the moment he's not being held.

Also, no matter how tight he gets swaddled, he still managed to pull his hands out to suck on them. 

:P

So precious!
