This is a picture of Ben the day we brought him home from the hospital. He was 3 weeks old, weighed 4 lbs 8oz. and was 18 inches long. He was our little preemie. Born 8 weeks early and weighed 4 lbs and was 17 inches long. He stayed in the NICU for about 3 and 1/2 weeks. It was quite a challenging time in our lives I must say but we LOVE having Ben in our family. I can't imagine life without him. It's hard to believe that he has grown up so much since those early baby days. He's started school, he's learning to read and is starting to love being with his friends more than is Mom! He's out growing the "little boy" things he used to love like trains and Elmo and peek a boo and now he's all about bikes and scooters, video games and the computer, playing with friends, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Transformers, etc. The next thing I know, he'll be asking to take the car! I hope he doesn't grow up too fast.
We had an Indiana Jones Birthday party for him this morning with a few friends. They had a fun time hunting for treasure, watching some movie clips, and eating cake and ice cream!
