Week One






This week has been one filled with family and friends. We are learning something new about our little man every day and have loved every moment as we evolve as a family. Grandma and Grandpa Knowles come and "play" with Bennett whenever they can get away from work. We've bundled him up for many walks - he loves the motion of the stroller and tends to sleep through these excursions. The weather has been great and the sun has done wonders for Mommy's spirits...getting out of the house is very therapeutic. Lola has been spoiled with daily trips to the dog park. At the end of the day, we are all a bit tired and do sneak a few family naps.
Bennett had his first Dr appt and he's looking very healthy - his weight is 5 lb 15 oz but he's eating well and should be back to birth weight soon. He's sleeping well also - I have to set an alarm to wake us both every 3 hours to feed. We finally convinced him to sleep apart from Mom - he loves his carseat and slept the whole night there next to our bed!

Thanks to everyone who has spoiled us with their company, good food and spare hands around the house. Bennett loves you all and thanks you for keeping Mommy & Daddy sane and fed!

Your pictures are precious; I'm thinking of you a lot these days and hope you're recuperating well and getting the rest you need. I'll write an e-mail to you soon.
Hugs and love, rosanne
