Benjamin's First Christmas

Great Parenting at Work

Back to Westfield

Elizabeth and Benjamin got to go home today. Here's Mom trying to get Benjamin into his winter jumper for the car ride home; it's harder than it seems.

Here's the result

Benjamin was a little skeptical of the car seat at first...

But he managed to sleep on the way home.

Day 2

Here are some pics of Benjamin getting his first swaddle from Mom and one of Benjamin greeting his first visitors from outside of the family.

Benjamin Has Arrived

Benjamin was born yesterday at 11:36 AM.  He weighed in at 7 lbs 11 oz.  Benjamin decided to have his hand up by his face during the delivery, which caused some difficulties for Elizabeth; but Mom and baby are both doing well now.  Here are some pictures from the big day:

Baby Shower in Delaware

Here are some pictures from the wonderful shower that my cousin and mom had for me in Delaware. Many thanks to those who were able to come or sent their wishes along.

Elizabeth with Child

By popular demand (thanks for asking Carolyn), here is a picture of Liz, who is now in the middle of her 31st week.  Benjamin's presence has been clearly apparent for a while now, and it has been made more apparent through the increased frequency and strength of his kicks, punches, and rolls.  If his in utero conduct is any indication, Benjamin will likely be a handful.

Countdown to Baby!

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!

Congrats to the Redskins in their victory over the vile and loathsome Cowboys. Jim Zorn out coached Wade Phillips all day long.

Although my Mets blew another trip to the playoffs today, at least the 'Skins beat the 'Boys.

Wedding in Princeton

This weekend Elizabeth and I went down to Princeton to attend the wedding of my friend, Frank, and his girlfriend, Jenn. Here are pictures of the outdoor ceremony, the newlyweds being lifted up together at the reception, as well as the bride and groom's first dance.   We wish Jenn and Frank all the best, and we hope they have a great honeymoon in Greece.

Ultrasound- Week 20

Sorry this is so grainy- I haven't found a good way to scan these in yet. If you look really closely, you can see his little fist tucked under his chin.

Nursery Beginnings

This is our first official purchase for Benjamin's new nursery.  As you can see, he will have a safari theme for his room.
