Christmas 2008

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I thought I would share some photos of ours. We were very busy going from one place to another, but it was all worth it to see everyone. Grandma and Grandpa Boege came up from Minnesota and we enjoyed spending time with them. We also spent some time with the Boege side of the family as well as the Starmer side. We pretty much made the rounds. Hard to believe that 2009 is right around the corner. Next year at Christmas I will be the mother of a 13 month old... that seems so hard to believe.

Our First Family Photo

Tonight we went to our first of 6 Christmas celebrations. Bennett was a perfect angel (much to my surprise) and we even managed to snap this great photo. I'm sure it's one of many to come. Wish I would have had it a month ago because I would have made Christmas cards with it. Unfortunetley Christmas cards were not on my priority list this year. Hope all of you have a great holiday with your families.

Happy Holidays

Hello Everyone,

I just realized it's been FOREVER since I did a post so I thought I would jot down what's been going on with us which of course means baby. I need to remember to use this as designed which is a baby book of sorts. We'll Bennett has had a rough past week, but we are hopeful that things are getting better. We discovered that he had a food allergy and was having issues digesting his food which of course made him very unhappy. As of today Bennett is much happier throughout the day, but does get fussy at night. I have read over and over again that this is babies way of releasing fatigue from the day so I am hopeful that this fussy period will pass (quickly). Of course it's always at night around 5:00 and lasts usually until 9:00. Despite all our efforts we can't seem to please him much during this time. I've read that this should get better soon and usually peeks at 6 weeks (which Bennett will be on Christmas) and gets better and better eventually stopping around 12 weeks. It's very hard to deal with when you don't know what your son wants, but I am trying to just expect it and do the best I can. Other than that we are all doing well and we are excited to spend our first Christmas as a family. Hope all is well with you and your family. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Happy Thanksgiving

Bennett got dressed for his very first Husker game. Mommy and Daddy went to the game and Bennett stayed at home with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Jenna. It was hard to leave the little guy even for a short period, but we had tickets and didn't want them to go to waste. It was good to get out, but I missed my little man like crazy!!! Thanksgiving was great and Bennett got to meet all kinds of people and was the life of the party. Even if he did sleep the whole time. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!

Nothing really new with our family. Hope all is well with everyone else. Just wanted to post some new pictures of our handsome boy.

Getting Big already

Everyone keeps saying to enjoy every moment because they grow up so fast and I can already see that happening. Although I am in a bit of a time warp I look at pictures of him today compared to the hospital and he is changing. Bennett is doing REALLY well overall and sleeps pretty much for 3-4 hours at a time throughout the entire day and last night slept 5 hours at night. He is eating really well and sleeping well too. Wake time varies, but he seems to have more wake time every day which I LOVE. Daddy and Grandma Boege have been home with us so that's helping immensely. Bennett has had many visitors at the hospital and at home too so thanks to all of you who have visited him. Please enjoy some of our new pictures of our baby boy!!
