60’s in January?

Yesterday we all got really lucky and had a gorgeous day that felt like spring.  So while Jamie was playing with Hayden at the playground, I got to rock my new little man on our front porch.  I can’t seem to savor these times enough.

Love those Baby Blues

Here are some recent pictures of our new little sweetie.  Bennet’s doing well and is loving life so far by eating and sleeping a lot.  He has beautiful eyes like his big brother and now likes to look around and observe everyone when he’s awake.  He’s becoming quite spoiled and we all can’t seem to hold him enough.  Here’s Bennet at a week old. 

He’s dreaming of some good ole Hawkeye football.

Hayden loves playing with Nana’s hair clip.

One of my favorite afternoon past times.

Bennet’s First Doctor’s Appointment

Yesterday Bennet had his first doctor’s appointment and of course, I had my camera with me just like I did with Hayden’s first appointment almost two years ago.:)  He’s doing well so far and has gained two ounces.  Thought I’d share these pictures, because he was such a relaxed baby and slept almost the entire time the doctor was checking him out.  When Jamie and I got home, Hayden was there and ready to help us take Bennet out of his car seat – so sweet.

Welcome Baby Bennet!

We are proud to announce the arrival of  our beautiful baby boy, Bennet Jamison Ronin!  He came into the world on January 11, 2011 at 2:28 pm.  We had a scheduled c-section and everything went well, and he was born a healthy boy weighing 7 lb. 8 oz. and was 19 inches long.  He’s such a sweet little baby and resembled his big brother a lot when he was born.  Bennet’s been home for three days and so far, has been a very good baby.  Hayden has been a great big brother as well and has been quite spoiled by everyone with all of his big brother gifts.  He absolutely loves his visitors and definitely enjoys his time with Nana, Papa, Gigi and Uncle Bryan. We’re very blessed and so excited to now be a family of four.  Thank you all for the great presents, calls and cards.
