6 Weeks Old!!

Today Benjamin is 6 weeks old. Isn't he one of the cutest babies you have ever seen?? Actually, are not they two of the cutest boys you have seen?? We love every minute we have with these two little boys, even in the midst of our crazy lives, and Jacob's insane curiosity.
We were suppose to go down to Illinois for Easter, however the major snow storm of March of 2008 made us change our minds. We had enough driving after trying to get Molly to the vet, Benjamin to the doctor for his 1 month check-up, and picking the car up from an oil change. Saturday, we decided to get a home improvement project done that we probably should have had professionally done. Let's just say it was an experience we will never forget. In the midst of the project we did decide to go down to Illinois for the day so everyone could take baths and showers and to see Great Grandma Schultz. The project took much longer than expected and Josh had to take 2 extra days off work. Josh is back to work and we have now completed the project and will probably never do it again.
Benjamin weighted in at 9 lbs. 6 oz. at his appointment and was diagnosed with a severe case of cradle cap. I thought cradle cap was only on the child's top of their head. Oh no, Ben had it all over his face, neck, sholders, upper back and chest. Poor boy needs to be lathered in Vaseline twice a day. Supposedly it is in the same family as eczema. Besides that he is doing well and growing well. He has almost gained 3 lbs. from his birth weight!! Not quite were Jacob was, but not far behind!!
