Baby Boy!

Bensen Bryce was born Saturday, January 3rd at 4:56pm. He weighed in at 7lbs 5oz and was 19 inches long. We brought him home Monday afternoon. Staucie was SO excited to have him at home and she takes good care of him, but doesn't want to hold him. Parker smiles at him and points and jabbers something. Bensen is jaundice and has been in the bilirubin lights. I am sad that he has to spend all day and night in them because I just want to hold him. Unfortunately, we haven't taken very many good pictures. We have been busy and tired and he is in the lights except when he is eating. Hopefully we can get some better pictures soon.

We love our Bensen and we are so glad to have him out of me and home! He is so cute and sweet. He has the cutest little squeal/cry. I wish I could hold him more though.

Oh, he is so so so cute. I bet it is hard not to hold him and keep him under the lights. He looks snuggly in the last picture, and I thought he was supposed to be all undressed under the lights. He is adorable!!! Can't wait to see him. Nice work Sheena!

Congrats Lee Family! What a precious little boy. I can't believe how fast that was. I think it was just the other day I was reading about how sick you were & grateful for good neighbors! Enjoy this time & the special spirit Benson brings!

Oh that is so exciting! And I love the name Benson . . . that's my brother's name. It isn't too common, but it's such a nice name. We're so excited for your family and new addition.
