We had a very busy summer, and I'm very behind on posting pictures. The highlight of the summer was Ben's big day. Born bright and early on a Saturday morning, June 28th. It was a routine c-section, with no surprises. Just what we were hoping for. Noah's birth was anything but routine, so we appreciated the lack of excitement this time around. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 2 ounces, but lost a good bit of weight the first couple of weeks. I think he dropped at least 2 pounds before gaining weight again. We went through the usual sleepless nights and nursing challenges, but overall he has been a sweet, easy baby. Around two months old he started sleeping more at night, which made life a lot easier. He likes getting baths and hanging out on the changing table. Sometimes he cries, but never for long.

Noah loves his little brother:
It's hard to tell in these pictures, but Ben's eyes are blue for now. Andrew and Noah's were brown from the beginning, so I'm curious if Ben's will stay blue or not.
Happy Birthday Ben! We're very happy you're here!
