Christmas
We had a great Christmas today! I have some nice pictures, but we switched the memory cards out in the camera in preparation for our trip tomorrow, so I don't have them easily accessible right now. Tomorrow we leave for Europe! We are all packed...tomorrow morning we do last minute things and clean the house and we're off at about noon! We're visiting London, Rome, Teramo, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. We're really excited!

12.17.13
Benjamin learned how to giggle! It's adorable. He's done it on two occasions... I tried to get a video of it but he doesn't like doing things on command. :-) So we'll have to wait until I surprise him with it. It's the same thing with smiling. Sometimes he's smiling so big and looks adorable but when I take my camera out he's so distracted by it he just stares at it and loses interest in me or smiling.
We went to Bloomfield to visit Grandma and Grandpa Sam for the weekend since they're going to Utah for Christmas. He got to open his first Christmas presents! He especially liked looking at the tree (not as much as cousin, Leena, did though! I'm regretting not putting our tree up this year. We never got around to it until recently but then we decided that since we're going to Europe the day after Christmas it's not worth the work of putting up and taking down. I'm pretty overwhelmed getting all the details for the trip finalized and starting to pack (sort of) that the thought of adding something else not necessary seems laughable. It's a good thing everyone else has a tree that he can enjoy staring at!
On our way back from Bloomfield we stopped to see Grandma Mary - Lamoni's paternal grandmother. She doesn't understand or speak much English so it's mostly smiling and communicating with the little Navajo that Lamoni knows, but she really enjoyed seeing Benjamin and held him for a good 30 minutes. He put on his best show for her too.

"What Does the Fox Say?"
I try to get a video of his baby sounds, but as soon as I get the video camera he stops! Here are a couple, though.

He is held by so many students and students' moms! Even when the babysitter is here most parents want to hold him the whole time anyway and the babysitter just sits there.
I finally got a picture I like with him. My friend from church, Nikita, had us come over and took some pictures of him.
He's in 3-6 month clothes at 7 weeks old!
His cheeks are so soft!
At Faith and Jared's baby shower
Yes, that is urine that leaked through his pajamas, but I thought his face was so cute!

Cute Stories
Cute things often happen with Benjamin and then I have the hardest time remembering what they were! I just thought of one, however, so I figured I had better post it quickly.
I was wearing him in the wrap one day (face in) and he was really grumpy. He finally fell asleep and I went to get something to eat. I very carefully opened a jar of peaches and was eating as carefully as I could because I knew if the fork even clinked on the glass it would cause him to wake up and scream (he's only a light sleeper when he's grumpy). Well, I ate a few peaches and all of a sudden low and behold, he woke up and screamed. I was really disappointed because I had been so careful and I couldn't figure out what caused him to wake up. I left the kitchen bouncing him to try to get him back to sleep when I looked down - a portion of a peach must have slid off my fork because there on the bridge of his nose was a peach just lying there!
We went to the pediatrician last week and as soon as the nurse took his diaper off he started urinating! She covered it in time, though. However, at the Sam's house for Thanksgiving Grandma Melinda changed his diaper and before I could get the new one to her she and everything around him had been sprayed!
This isn't a cute story, but just an update. At the midwife's this week (it feels like he is always getting checkups...) he weighed 13 lbs 6 oz! On his way to 14 pounds and only 7 weeks old! He is in 3-6 month clothes right now.
