Ben: One Month!

I am once again behind with blogging... though I am just a little busy right now!  There isn't too much down time in my day and when I find a few spare minutes I usually collapse in a heap on the bed and take a nap or catch up on a few DVR recordings.  But here it's been six weeks since our Ben arrived and I have barely posted a picture.

He is the sweetest little guy and I feel like we are finally getting to know one another.  I am anxiously awaiting his first smile.  Every time I think he is about to grin at me... it just turns into a cry.  But we are getting close.  I'm sure of it!

I love the way he looks at me while he eats, all wonder and big eyes.  He is such a doll baby.  The hardest thing we have had to deal with has been his reflux and tummy troubles.  The poor little thing has had some very uncomfortable days, but we seem to be making strides in the right direction now that he has medication.  At his one month check up he was 10 lbs and 5 ounces and 21 1/4 inches.  He has already gained more than two pounds!  As my sister says, he is quickly making his way up the Lewandowski growth scale.  He is drinking four ounces every three hours and has already graduated to size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes.


I'm not sure who he looks like yet.  Everyone has different thoughts, but he has his own unique traits.  At times I see a lot of James and occasionally I see Ethan.  I can't wait to watch him change and grow over the next year.  It's always so much fun to watch them change from month to month. 

Here are some pictures from his first month.














This is pretty much what his day looks like... eat, sleep, fuss and stare.  The life of a baby.  

I am slowly adjusting to life with three little munchkins.  It is very busy!  But I absolutely love these little boys!  We are blessed beyond measure and I am so thankful that God has chosen me to be their mom.
