Funny Things From Cole

Bringing a new baby into the home has been trying, yet pretty fun and entertaining. Cole says the funniest things to me, and I thought I'd better write them down before I forget them.

"Mom, do you still have another baby in your stomach?"

"No buddy, why?"

"Because your stomach is still really, really BIG!!!" (put the emphasis on BIG)

As I'm sitting on the couch feeding Benson.....

"Mom, Benson is biting you!!! Does it hurt"

Since this I have now confined myself to my room while nursing Benson, or covering up better.

As Cole was holding Benson.....

"Mom, he's sucking on his fingers, he's going to get milk out of them."

Who knows what he'll say next!!!

I have a feeling that these two will be the best of friends, and possible cause some trouble.....

Pine Wood Derby 10'

Cris, opps I mean Kaden had his first pine wood derby a few weeks ago. I'm not sure who had more fun building the car, Cris or Kaden. It turned out pretty good for their first car together. They worked on it for about a week. I should have taken pictures of them working on it together. It was really neat to see them work so hard on it, and have some one on one time together. Cris named it the El' Camino.

Kaden was so excited, and had a lot of fun racing it.

Here it is winning a race. Kaden came in 4th. He missed getting 3rd, by a hair!!!

All in all, he had a great time, and did awesome!!! He can't wait till next year. Cris and him already have some plans. Boys will be boys. :)

Benson Josef Moss

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!

Benson Josef Moss was born on February 25th 2010 at 8:44. He weighed in at a whopping 7lbs. 11oz. and was 20 inches long.

I was so excited to meet our baby. Not knowing whether he was a boy or girl was really fun!!! The anticipation in the OR was killing Cris and I. When they pulled him out and said, "It's a boy!!" I really wasn't too surprised. We had been calling him a boy the whole time, so it just seemed fitting. He didn't have a name until later in the afternoon. I had thought of Benson just a few days before he was born, but just wasn't sure about it until we saw him. Josef is after my Grandpa Cziep. My Grandma was so excited that we spelled his middle name "the right way" Benson was our first c-section baby that didn't have to go to the special care nursery, and it was really neat to have him and Cris in the recovery room with me.

Benson is such a content baby.(now that I've said that he just might change his mind and get fussy:)) He sleeps really well at night anywhere between 3-4 hours between feedings, which is really nice!!! When he's awake he hardly fusses and just looks around. Out of all our kids he's been the best baby.

Here's some pictures of our sweet baby Benson.

Right after he was born, screaming like crazy.

Cris lovin' the little guy.

The kids getting there first look at Benson. They were all so excited when we got home. Cole was jumping up and down in the window, but when we got in the house we couldn't find him. He went and hid behind the couch. I was so sad for him he's been the baby for the past 3 1/2 years. I couldn't lift him and I felt so bad. Cris was finally able to coax him to come out.

Cole's first look at Benson. It took him awhile to warm up. He didn't get to close to him for a while, and he wouldn't hold Benson until the next day.

The kids all had a turn holding him, and still have to hold him several times a day. He is well loved. Kennedy has even changed a few diapers.

He's so bright eyed!!

This has got to be my favorite picture I've taken of him by far!!!! He's a week old in it.

We are so thankful to have another healthy child!!! I'm so glad that I finally listened to Cris, and the spirit about bringing a new life into this world. We love Benson's sweet little spirit, and the joy he's brought into our home. We can't wait to see him grow up!!!
