First photo shoot

It is wonderful to have both a father who loves to take photos and a mother-in-law who is a professional photographer. When Jan came to visit, Benjamin was in a cranky mood. We ended up giving him a pacifier and took some adorable shots. He still looks a little yellow in them, but he is making great progress packing on the ounces and getting his color back!

We tried to file his nails. The nurse said we could either do that or bite them. We chose to file!

Benjamin has Jeremy’s detached ear lobes, my pointy chin, both our window’s peak hair lines and my long fingers, toes and monkey feet.

He loves to fold his feet together. I didn’t think anything of it until Jeremy and I were lounging in bed and he pointed out that I was doing the same thing with my feet.

He is so alert and has the prettiest eyes. He likes to look at us and stare like we are so interesting.

I love to cuddle with him. He is so soft and warm and PRECIOUS!

When he was on his way out, the nurses kept telling me how much hair he had. I didn’t believe it until I saw. Isn’t it adorable!

My mom was cooking a chicken the other day, and said she couldn’t help get an image of Benjamin posed like this. Poor little guy needs to put on a few pounds!

Look at his long legs and feet! His head is starting to get bigger, and the hat Papa bought him doesn’t fit so well.

  1. Benjamin has a talented mother that can put words together so beautifully to tell the story of each image. I love this. It helps me feel closer to Benjamin, you and Jeremy, when I can not be there. Keep it up, this is great!
