Who is that cute baby?




It's been a long, hard, exhausting, yet exiting, three weeks and four days (but who's counting?) Babies take a lot of work, a lot more work than I've ever given new moms credit for, and much of that work is pretty monotonous (eating and crapping and eating and crapping), but it's completely worth it! I was blessed with a baby with lots of "personality," which means he parties all night instead of sleeping (takes after his mom), is defiant just to be defiant (takes after his dad), and is super gassy (again, takes after dad). We have been learning a lot and wouldn't trade a second for anything, but we did appreciate our first night off tonight (Nick and Norah's Infinate Playlist and dinner at a really nice restaurant), leaving Bennett to be fussy for Nick's folks. I also had my first experience with the pump and dump- I was too paranoid to feed the baby after a glass of wine and a glass of Champagne (back in the day I called that breakfast- now, it's the most alcohol I've had at one sitting in almost a year). It's definately a new kind of life. Anyway, enough of the deatils, you all want to see pictures, so without further ado, here are some pictures from the past few weeks. I may be biased, but I think he's pretty cute!

OMG - he is so cute! I can't believe I can't meet him in person. Sometimes not living in Seattle anymore really sucks.

He is absolutely adorable! I feel your pain mama. Babies can literally suck the energy right out of you. Someday, sooner than later, I would like my "girls" back.
