Eventually we will return to our originally scheduled program. . .I didn't mean for this blog to become the "All About Bennett" channel, but the facts are that I am not exactly doing a whole lot else at the moment. I am slowly coming out of my "confinement" and merging back into society though so I should start to have other things to blog about :)
So a drive-by of what we've been up to for the last 6 (!) weeks:
Two weeks old: Michael had a 2-day workshop kind of thing for his work in Park City. I couldn't bear the thought of being alone for 2 whole days with our tiny newborn so we made arrangements for me to go along. We stayed at the Cliff Lodge at Snowbird, it was a fun and adventurous getaway with such a new baby! (as a sidenote, you can see in this picture that Bennett at this time was still swimming in his preemie clothes!)
Three weeks old: I heart baby butt!
Four weeks old: Little slugger :) I tried putting him in a "newborn" size clothing to see how close we were to growing out of the preemie stuff. Not ready quite yet apparantly. Couldn't even snap the top couple snaps otherwise it would cover his mouth. He's just so cute and tiny!
Four weeks old: Little model pose. You can't quite tell but his shirt has circus animals on it. . .it's my favorite outfit from his preemie things. BIG thanks to my boss who bought out the preemie section of Gymboree when Bennett ended up being a couple pounds smaller than expected. That little wardrobe is all he's worn so far!
Bennett's blessing day, 4 1/2 weeks old. I am so proud to have a husband who is worthy to give our son his official baby blessing in our church. It was a beautiful blessing. I had planned on passing the baby around to all our family and friends during the rest of the church meeting but once Michael brought him back to our seat all I wanted to do was hold that newly blessed baby! Sorry everyone!

I am proud to have a son that is worthy to bless his own baby son! What a wonderful blessing it was! And I don't mind at all that you held Bennett through all of sacrament meeting...I can imagine the emotions that you were feeling that day so I'm glad you kept him with you :)
I was so glad I decided to go to Sacrament that Sunday:) There wasn't a seat in sight but I stepped in so I could hear the blessing and got teary eyed. Such a beautiful blessing. So happy Bennett is here and doing well.
I'll probably do the same thing too at Jaxon's blessing. "No! He's MINE!" Sorry we weren't able to be there, but...I'm sure you understand. :)
Bennett is SOOOOOO cute!!!! His little face is just to die for cute! So happy for you! Plan on always being a bit behind in the clothes department! Zaylie was a bit smaller than Bennett and grew out of newborn clothes at 3-4 months!
You guys make such a cute little family! I heart bums too :)
He really is adorable. I'm so overjoyed for you 3!
