Ben@3 weeks old

Ben @ 3 weeks old --- he is growing bigger and stronger!


He started showing some smiling face these days. Here he looks almost smiling ...

Sleeping on my father's (his grandfather's) lap

Playing with Nanny



Benjamin held by Granddad Pete ("This is for you, Zoe! Your turn, next!" says Christine;-)


First Walk in our neighborhood (with a brandnew stroller)
The stroller is a gift from my parents 








   Last Sunday (May 11th) was Mother's Day - so we went to Story Inn to have a brunch there. Benjamin remained a very good boy, keeping calm and quiet (well, sleeping ;-) for most of the time during our brunch.
   I received a flower bunch and a Mother's Day card from Benjamin (!!), which his father brought to me "on behalf of Benjamin". Amar claimed that Benjamin asked him to buy flowers and write (dictate) a card for me. In the card, Benjamin said, "Thank you for being the greatest Mom in the world --- your milk is absolutely delicious!" Well, nice collaboration it was;-) And it certainly turned out to be a very nice, memorable first Mother's Day.
 Thank you Amar and Benjamin! 


Last Monday (May 12th) we went hiking at Brown County State Park for the second time since Benjamin was born (first one was on April 30th, when he was still 2 weeks old).  Last time we went with my parents, and this time with Peter and my father (Christine stayed home due to the pain of her injured foot).  

I pumped my breastmilk in the car on our way to the Park, and Amar bottle-fed Benjamin while walking in the park. (Amar really likes to feed him whenever we have a chance! ;-)
Look at his (daddy's) proud face ;-)




Amar trying to let him burp - but Benjamin seems to be more interested in looking around in the forest than burping :-)

"Dad! I saw something over there!!"
