The week after Ben came home Nick's brother Matt and sister Sarah (both missing from pictures before) came over to the house for a visit.
Then, things calmed down a bit, and Ben started to make himself at home.
At 3 weeks Nick and I took Ben to visit his Dad's grandparents- both first-time great grandparents. Here's Nick's Dad's mom. She wasn't sure if she was up to holding Ben but decided after about 5 seconds that she could handle it.
Then we visited Nick's mom's parents at their house in Springfield. This is Grandma and Grandpa Paul with Ben.
Nick and I took Ben apple picking last weekend. He had a great time!
Our most recent discovery is that Ben loves fuzzy blankets. Here he is taking a wonderfully long snooze in his swing wrapped up in his fleecy frog blanket. Isn't he cute! Of course, we have to keep an eye on him when he's all bundled up like this. Also... notice his newly developing bald spot. He no longer has hair on the top of his head. Hopefully that'll work itself out as soon as possible!
