Tonight, I was singing to Benjamin, and he decided to join in. So adorable, I had to share (even though you're going to have to listen to my not so great singing voice too). "Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise." Matt. 21:16

Sweet Feet
I don't know why I'm so intrigued by Benjamin's feet. Ever since the first time I held him, I've loved his little feet! I remember looking at his sweet toes for the first time in the hospital. The way he crosses them reminds me of his brother and sister when they were little. He also crosses his feet when he nurses. It's just so sweet!
So today while he was napping, I took pictures of his feet.

baptism gown
All three of my babies have worn the same gown when they were baptized. And each time, I have their Aunt Shannon take pictures of them in the gown, Benjamin was baptized this past Sunday, and here are his baptism pictures.

Awwww!
I love this picture! Until this picture, I had never had professional pictures taken of any of the kids as baby babies. When Benjamin was born, he was dubbed our most beautiful baby. Then, he went through his "funny baby stage". But now, look how cute! Friday, July 27, 2007
Bouncy Seat
All three kids have used this bouncy seat, and all three have loved it! I put Benjamin in the bouncy seat this evening, and he was crying. As you can see from the video, he's not sure how he feels about being put in the seat. But he was won over by the musical fun, and is still there now!
Benjamin made this face not because of being put down, but because his brother and sister were screaming.
Lots of happy faces in the bouncy seat.
In awe of the musical fun!

2 months
On the 18th, Benjamin turned 2 months! I have yet to take a great picture for the two month page in his album, but will work on that this weekend.
At his check up he weighed in at 12 lbs and 6 ozs and measured 23 1/4 inches. He is in the 65th percentile in both height and weight, making his our smallest baby thus far (though not that far from where Elizabeth was at this age).
Fun/Random things about Benjamin
He smiles a lot now.
He can see things at a distance.
He sleeps through the night! Yay!
He crosses his feet when he sleeps or eats, just like his sister and brother.
His eye are still blue, and it looks like they will stay that way.
He cries when Micah cries.
Benjamin has been a delight! To think that this time last year I wasn't even pregnant is so strange. Already it feels as if he has been in our lives for as long as I can remember.

Health Update
On Wednesday, Benjamin had a follow up with the pediatrician. Everything looked great, and Benjamin was given a clean bill of health. The doctor said that he came through the whole meningitis thing pretty much unscathed, and we just had to wait for the results from a hearing test.
Today was the day for the hearing screening. As the doctor was checking Benjamin out before the screening, he noticed some fluid in Ben's ear. The audiologist did a pressure test, and it turns out that Benjamin had a lot of fluid on both his ears, which is fairly abnormal for a baby his age. Upon further checking, the ENT determined that Benjamin also has an ear infection. We were unable to do the hearing test today, due to all the fluid. He is back on antibiotics, and we're already starting to look at the possibility of tubes.
the ENT doesn't think that the ear problems are related to the meningitis, it's just something else that we're going to have to deal with. Thankfully, it's nothing major, and his long term prognosis is still great!
Please keep him in your prayers as we travel this weekend. He's been pretty cranky the past few days (for obvious reasons!) and isn't sleeping well. Thanks!

1 month
And what a month it has been. I'm still waiting for my feet to hit the ground, and for the kids to adjust to the new baby. It seems like just when we are getting close to normal, something happens/changes. It's been a busy month!But what a good month it has been! It's so strange to think that this time a month ago, we were still in the hospital after having him. It feels like Benjamin has been part of our lives for so much longer than a month.
He is the sweetest baby, and such a good eater and sleeper! He can sleep almost anywhere, unless it's too quiet, which is a good thing. He doesn't mind being toted around from one place to another, and when he learns to sleep in his car seat, life will be a lot better! The sound of running water can always calm him down. He has grown to love the swing, and will often take his naps in the swing. Benjamin is quite fond of his pacy, at least most of the time. It's one of the ways we get him to calm down to go to sleep.
In these pictures, I think Benjamin looks like a Who (from Dr. Suess). Curtis thinks he looks like a Smurf. So, we affectionately call these his Who-Smurf pictures. Either way, he sure is a cutie!

2 week check up
Benjamin had his two week check up today. He weighed in at 9lbs 6ozs, and measured 21 and 3/4 inches. It looks like Benjamin is trying to catch up with his older siblings! Another healthy Krajca Kid!
Benjamin was also circumcised, which is a whole other story in and of itself. Curtis told me that it wasn't blogable. :-) Poor Mommy! It was more traumatic for me than for him.... I think.
The new trick Benjamin is doing is attempting to hold up his head. It's so funny because when he does, he wrinkles up his forehead like a little old man. His other new trick is rolling over! Yeah, crazy, I know!!! We're trying to get it on video just so that everyone knows I'm not really exaggerating. I've lost track of how many times he's done it, but it's enough to where I know it's not a fluke. Like I said, he's already trying to catch up with his older siblings.
