We had his baby blessing last Sunday. I love the baby blessing day. It is such a red letter day and I know that the new baby can feel that it is their special day. Benjamin's day was special.
(here is his blessing outfit, Michael wore the same one)
(look at that smile, he totally knows its all about him today!)
Tim did a good job with his blessing. I know he was nervous getting up in front of our huge ward and all of our family and saying a thoughtful prayer for our newest son. That's a lot of pressure! The thing that left the biggest impression to me was Tim's use of the word "determined."
Everyone asks if he is a good baby. Of course he is a good baby to me... but the word "determined" describes him perfectly. He has a determined soul, you can see it in his eyes. He was determined to come to our family. He is determined to be noticed in our family. He is determined to soak everything in. I hope he will always be determined to do the right things in his life. These new souls coming into our world need to be! Benjamin is determined.
(see the determination in those eyes, he is so alert to everything!)
Our little guy is ten weeks today (I hate how fast time goes with little babies). His newest discovery in life is smiling. His first smile was at his daddy, and yes I'm jealous. He is kind of hard to get to smile, so it is such a cool thing when you get him to. Those blue eyes light up when he does. And two nights ago he showed just how bad of a temper he has by getting so upset that he almost passed out (he was blue!). Mom was not happy about that one!

Here are some random pictures from Ben's blessing day. Tim took these so he isn't in them, but I am (nice change for once!).
(abbey was so happy that all her cousins came and played with her)
(wonder why Benjamin looks nervous and uncomfortable?)
(Mike is such a stud in his suit, everyone loves his suit at church)
