Bennett Crew

As promised, we have more pictures of Crew. We finalized the name Saturday after much debate. We had Adam, Nathan, and Bennett in the final round of deciding. We loved the name Bennett for a long time. Blake was pretty close to being a Bennett 6 years ago. So we decided to use the name for this one. We call him Crew though. For Savannah it sounds more like "Cwoo".

How about a pictorial timeline.

Crew is born. A little messy and making some well received noise.

The weigh in. He was a few ounces short of Landen. 8 lb 11oz after some rounding. He came out sideways also making life a little harder for Becca.

Cleaner now. He was 15 minutes old in this picture

The proud dad!

The very excited siblings.

Beaming Grandma Jen!

Landen with Crew. Landen was probably most excited to see his new brother.

Savannah just has this look. "My precious little pet." - Think Tommy Boy - Yikes
She really loves Cwoo and wants to touch him and pet him and hold him all the time.

This was the next day. the kids couldn't get enough.

First day at home (2 days old). He sleeps most of the day away.

Blake likes holding Crew, but gets bored after 60 seconds. He is very good with him though.

The boys went to the Rapids game Saturday night to "get away". Really. I was getting the boys out of the house for Becca. It just so happened that it was for a soccer game. Rough life so far.

Landen and Crew again

Hooked to the pacifier already. Nice!
Pacifier = No crying

Grandma pulling an afternoon shift while Becca gets some needed rest and Dad gets the kids from school. She needs the rest too because she's been up all night also. But she gets to go home in a couple days.

SO cute! Great name too! I am so glad that Becca made it! That is a big baby - sideways must have been a nightmare (at least for recovery if she had good drugs!) What a beautiful family!
