Ben is 4 months today. It seems unbelievable how quickly the time has gone. After learning about an acquaintance whose baby has many congenital problems and is facing months of surgery and hospitalization, we feel very blessed indeed. Benjamin has had a fussy day, but overall seems to be getting more manageable. He LOVES his fingers and is always putting them in his mouth or looking at them. He also loves to kick his legs, either in his crib or on his playmat.
We spent the day today at Auntie Pam's house making applesauce. Steven joined us later for a great fall dinner of meatballs, acorn squash, and fresh applesauce. MMMM. Fall is wonderful.
The top 5 five things I love about being a mom are:
1) Watching the incredible love between Steven and Benjamin
2) Breastfeeding and special bonding time
3) Benjamin's smiles, coos, squeals, and the sound of him breathing as he is on my shoulder
4) Watching Benjamin learn new things each day
5) Marvelling at how he is "fearfully and wonderfully made."
We are truly filled with great joy at this incredible gift of our son. Happy Birthday!
