Lucas Alexander

Another new cousin!!! Lucas Alexander Van Hise was born January 27th. He weighed 9 lbs 2 ozs and was 21.5" long. We got to meet him yesterday and he is sooo precious. When Lucas was born his hair was red, but now we think it looks strawberry blond. Welcome to the family baby Lucas--we love you!! Congrats Alex and Sarah!!!!!!

November

First day of daycare.

This week, Ben started daycare. It was likely harder on us than him. He did great, but was a little tired when he got home.

Before

After

Crazy legs

After his bath, we like to lay Ben in his crib and turn on his mobile. His mobile is his favorite toy, as it never fails to bring a smile to his face (and ours).

Something was making him extra excited tonight.

Playdate with Cousin Clayton

They both slept and ate for most of the playdate, but Ben did wake up long enough to hold his cousin--0nly 1 and 10 weeks old and they are already best buds.

New Patient Exam

This patient was a handful. We tried to tell him not to eat all that Halloween candy (his Aunt Emily probably snuck him some) or he'd end up at the dentist.

I'm sure some of you were wondering why it took so long for us to take this picture.
