My little vampire baby thinks that night time is time to party and day time is to chill out - so we need to work on that a bit before big mamma heads back to work. That could be disastrous for all involved.
Anyhow, we have had some company and learned how to make even uglier faces if that is possible in this last bit of time.
His first Badger Aunties came to visit him and present him with some WI gear. Holly and Jolynn decided that a baby shower for twins wasn't enough baby for them in one weekend so they trekked over from La Crosse to meet my offspring.
Luckily in a conversation I had with someone at some point I mentioned my distinct lack of Badger gear and they corrected that problem. Little Benjamino was appropriately attired for the WI-MN game this past weekend thanks to those gals - and prego Sarah who couldn't make the trip!
Oddly enough this fall has been the nicest I have experienced in a while, I guess I had to move back to the Midwest for nice temperate weather. Anyhow, for the second weekend in November, with temperatures approaching 60 degrees, we ventured out to the nature preserve a couple blocks from our house and tested the off roading skills of our gigantic stroller.
Unfortunately the poor little guy didn't have the best view - but better because his skin may burn if he is exposed to the sun (Vampire. . . . - not that paranoid -yet- about skin conditions)
Also, Nana got to show off her grandson to one of her peeps for the first time. Diane wanted to have a special memory of 11-11-11 so she drove all the way from Mountain, WI for the day to meet the little bugger. And brought the most amazing hat that she made for him! I almost bought one that wasn't as well made to put my poor child in for a photoshoot! Just you wait little guy, that day is a coming!
The little guy is a sucker, that is for sure. Unfortunately they recommend holding off on pacifiers until he is about a month old to make sure that he has breastfeeding down pat. It makes for some long nights and some experimentation on his part as to what he can put in his mouth if his mom is giving the milk factory a break - there are labor laws Benjamin! Luckily for us - one month is fast approaching and we will get a little break from his grunts, groans and grimaces.
And he wanted to show his dad too I guess.
His neck is getting stronger and he is opening his eyes more and more giving us a glimpse of what life is going to be like with a baby - not just a sleeping crying pooping machine.
