Introducing baby Bennett Daniel!
February 3, 2010
8lbs. 3oz. 20 inches
Adam was extremely excited to get to hold Ben (he kept saying "I hold it?" until we let him) So far, he's handling a new baby in the house as well as can be expected :)
Noah and Elsie couldn't stop smiling and thought it was so great that he was finally here (mom agreed!)
Bennett's first bath-he took it like a champ, though the other kids were a little concerned that he was crying so much, until we explained it was good for him to cry :)
Bennett's first bath at home, given by Grandma Smith (one of her greatest joys in life is bathing her brand new grandbabies, and then cuddling with them after!)
The Grandma's Smith & Rasmussen (who were both there for Bennett's birth-yeah!!) got much better pictures of all three on the couch with Ben-I'll probably post those later!
He has as much dark hair as the other 3 did at birth, and it will be interesting to see if it stays dark like Elsie's, or if his lightens up like his brothers' (at least they all got the Rasmussen "butt chin"!)
Our little monkey (he's as hairy as one too!)
Same face, different angle!Even though it took a little bit to convince him to get here (I was induced about a week early), we are so happy that Bennett is here and that he chose our family to join! He is healthy and an awesome eater, and he has brought nothing but more happiness to our little (well, maybe not so little anymore!) family-welcome baby Bennett, we love you!!
P.S. And a big thanks to all of our friends and family for supporting us-we are truly blessed with the amazing people in our lives! We love you all too!
