I'm Just Sayin'

That while Benjamin definitely has hair...


















...it's just not quiiiiiiite as much as Nicholas had. Note how Nico's hair is attempting to suffocate Jacob. Also, the more you look the more hair you'll see.


















Good thing we live in Chicago now and will have to wear hats until about May.













'Cause Benjamin rocks hats.



A few notes: the above photos of Benjamin and Nico were taken at the same age (4 months). Also, while Benjamin has the most darling laugh and smile around (see top photo) he clams up pretty hard when he sees the camera. So I have hundreds of pictures of "Serious Benjamin" (see last photo). Maybe he thinks he's giving me different looks and calls them things like El Tigre, Magnum and Blue Steel. Maybe.

One Year Ago

We visited the beach with Matt's family. As a family of four.


















I also took a pregnancy test at 1:30 in the morning on that trip. I then woke Matt up at 1:31 am to tell him the results. Benji was on his way.

After an incredibly full year, we are here again. All five of us. It feels pretty good.
