Squeaky Clean

Finally, Bennett’s cord fell off and his twig and berries are all healed. Time for first bath. Unlike his sister, he actually took to the bath like a duck to water. No screaming his guts out. Just smiles and splashing. That’s a good boy, gold star on your chart for behavior.

Ben's first bath- two thumbs up!

Doesn’t it look like he is talking my ear off? “So I says to the guys, I says I says…”

Ben's first bath- two thumbs up!

Of course he received his first mohawk. It is the only true way to get initiated into the bathing world.

Looking a little googly eyed here.

I’m sorry Ben, could you relax those lips any more?

Just scrubbing a few more nooks and cranny’s. Can you tell where my kids get their dimples?

On to dragon world. Thanks Aunt Meri, we love our dragon robe. Don’t I look menacing?

There you have it. Don’t you feel like you were sitting in our bedroom with us?

    He is a doll. Just gorgeous! I love those lips. I think he looks older than he really is. The photos are beautiful. You all are so talented at making babies and photography:-)

  26. 26 Heather H May 25th, 2008 at 9:10 am

    he’s so sweet. i’m glad to hear that things are going pretty smoothly - he looks just adorable. can’t wait to hold him and kiss him a few weeks…

  27. 27 dikola May 26th, 2008 at 1:54 am

    You probably already noticed…but in the last photo of Bennett in his towel, looking up…it really looks like he has stars in his eyes. So cool! Maybe looking at the ceiling fan and that’s the reflection?

  28. 28 Holli May 26th, 2008 at 5:41 pm

    Love the Mohawk! I don’t think Xan will have one of those for at least a year! He’s so sweet and I can’t believe the rolls; they are so kissable and squeezable.

  29. 29 joy May 28th, 2008 at 8:54 pm

    he’s so freaking adorable! love the twig and berries picture- i’m sure Ben will love that you called it that when he’s 18. tee hee.
