More pics of Ben's first week/update on second week


Here are some more pictures of Ben's first week (from my mom's camera.) Ben had his two-week appointment this morning, and he is doing great. He already weighs over 10lbs and has gained an inch, so I must be doing something right. He is sleeping well (knock on wood) and is becoming more alert each day. Maya absolutely loves her little brother - she loves to sit with him and say "Hi, Baby Ben" over and over. She thinks it is hilarious when he looks at her or makes sounds. Larkin is in NYC for Broad stuff until Wednesday, and Wendy is here helping me hold down the fort. Maya and Ben (and I) love having ShuShu around and are super-thankful for her help!

Once Wendy has a chance to download her pictures, we'll post pictures from Ben's second week and Maya's second birthday party!

What a wonderful time for you all. Ben is gorgeous, and all of a sudden Maya looks so old! Big sister. I love about the counting. Ask her to count noses for me - and ears.
