Abi and Tata came to visit once they heard word of Benjamin's arrival. Abi came a few days before Tata to help us take care of Mia. They had so much fun together. Mommy, Daddy and Ben came home a few days later from the hospital just in time for Tata to get here, then the real celebration occurred. We had a nice welcome home party with all of us and Jackie, Andrew, Jess and Dale.
Ben had his first doctor's visit. Big sister Mia came along with her stethoscope to help diagnose how he was doing.
We also enjoyed a few warmer days just in time for Easter. Mia and her Abi and Tata made sugar cookies, decorated Easter eggs, hunted for eggs, liked what the Bunny brought, and ate a ton of chocolate. We also had fun just watching Ben!
We also had a nice visit from Allen, Elaine and Owen. They came over to hang out and play. Mia and Owen had a ball on the swing set and laughed as they kicked off their boots into the air.
Mia is definitely loving the birthday party circuit as she attended Luke's 4th birthday at Wheaton Regional Park with trains and a carousel and Aidan's 3rd birthday at Silver Star Gymnastics. These parties were SO much fun!
It's hard to believe that it's already been a month since our little guy has joined our family. He's now measuring at 9 lbs. 3 oz, 21 inches long and his head circumference is 14.5in. He's adapting nicely to our family and our transitional life. He has a simple routine at this point: eat, poop, sleep. While he doesn't do too much yet, he is trying hard to lift his head, stretch out his legs, bat at his lion rattle, and coo more.
Oh yeah, and we are making progress on the potty and we still love bath time!
We are very much looking forward to a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Brown next month, Aunt Kari and Uncle Doug around July, and the Perrys and Camachos in August. Cousin Bernadette will also be moving here soon so she can attend Georgetown.
Please come and visit us soon if you can!
