Meet Ben's New Buddy: Vincent

We visited Vincent, Mirela, and Ramsay last night. Here are some photos:

What a cutie!

the proud Poppa

the proud Momma

Vincent is a little camera-shy [grin]

the happy family

there's always time for finger puppets!

Who's a Big Boy?

Ben is! According to today's visit to the doctor, Ben is 10 lbs. 4oz., 23 inches long, and has outgrown newborn diapers.

We also learned that he has two birthmarks, doesn't freak out about vaccinations, and smiles when the rain hits his nose....

Awwww....

Dudes

Ben was feeling particularly chipper and playful yesterday, so Momma grabbed her camera and started snapping:

(The noogie photos were deemed unsuitable for publication. [grin])

Front-Loaded Ben

Ben's neck muscles are sufficiently developed to allow him to enjoy the view from his baby carrier. He's wearing a cap because he's so darn cute!

Still.Not.My.Kid

It was only a matter of time before Oopsa decided to claim the loftiest position in Ben's room.

Napping with Grandpop

Ben and Grandpa Lou enjoyed a snooze on Thursday:

Smile! It's Your Birthday!

Ben is two months old today! Happy Birthday!

Way to grow, son!

Little Green Buddy

Meet Buggy-wuggy, Ben's first favourite toy. There's just something about the eyes that attracts his attention.
