When Benjamin Was One Month Old...

...he weighed 10 pounds, 15 ounces.  The baby scales once used by his great-granddad and now by his granddad told us so.



When Benjamin was one month old...

...he got to cuddle with his Grandma Huffman.  And you know what?  She put him right to sleep!







When Benjamin was one month old...

...he got to be part of a family photo shoot that his mommy REALLY wanted to do before his Grandma Fisher flew back to California.  He didn't get to be in ALL the pictures (some were for girls only!), but he was in most of them; and when the official pictures were over, his daddy snatched him from Grandma's lap and cuddled with him ON THE GRASS!  (Funny daddy!)  :)












When Benjamin was one month old...

...he had already had lots of adventures.  Like going with his family to the Virginia Mennonite Relief Sale and walking around in the rain to get donuts, and then discovering that the battery in the big white van was dead--so exciting.  And going into a great big giant bubble-thing and watching big brother Tobin take swimming lessons.  And going to the store so Mommy could go grocery shopping (boring!), and going to children's choir rehearsals, and going to a how-to-draw-cartoons class, and going to a homeschool mom's night out (but they let him come and be the only guy because he's so cute), and going to church services, and going to a place called Sweet Bee so the family could get frozen yogurt (but no one shared even one little bite with Benjamin), and going to a place where big brother David played his violin with a bunch of other people, and going to a restaurant called Kyoto so the rest of the family could eat some really yummy food (but mostly so they could watch the chef throw knives around and spin eggs in the air and make fire shoot up while he was cooking their food in front of them).  It was a busy month for Benjamin!

But the best part of all is this...

When Benjamin was one month old...

...he had been hugged and kissed a whole bunch of times, had been prayed for, had been sung to, had been lovingly bathed and clothed and fed, and had been cuddled for hours and hours.  And that was just the beginning!

Many more good times to come in month #2!!  :)

  1. This sounds like a dizzying pace even for someone without a newborn! I'm not sure how you keep up! Life sounds very exciting (Which is never how Josiah describes it on the way to SVCC practice. So far he remarks about how low-key, laid-back, and relaxed things are.).
