He's here! He's here! He's here!
It's no surprise, but again I've not kept up with my blogging as I would like to. A lot has happen in the last three weeks, namely
BEN IS HOME!!!!
It's been two weeks ago tonight since we welcomed our new little man home. He is doing SO well. He's eating and sleeping well. And yes, he is adorable. He is just a tiny little peanut. So small for his age! He and Eli are just three days apart in age (and Ben is older) but Eli looks like a giant when they stand next to each other. All his medical tests came back OK, so no worries there. It's hard to explain, but he feels much more like a "baby" than Eli does. In my mind, Eli is officially a toddler. Ben's just not quite there yet.
The last two weeks certainly haven't been without their challenges. While Ben has slept and eaten well, he does have some problems getting along with his brothers. When things don't go his way or he has trouble sharing, he bites! Poor Eli has gotten the brunt of Ben's chompers over the last week. We're working with them to keep the peace. I'm sure it will get better, but right now it just stinks!
I've got much much more to share, but I'd better wrap up this post with a few pics from Ben's homecoming day. Will try to post more over the weekend!
Here he is! Ben and his escort
Meeting Ben
Ben has a "lovey" - his special blanket. Thank goodness for it! I'm so thankful that he has something that can give him such comfort.
