For those who have followed our blog for the past 3 years you know that we used a football to help you see Andrew grow for the first couple years of life….we are going to do the same with Bennett.
The following are pictures of Bennett and Andrew 10 days after birth…can you tell that Bennett weighs about 50% more than Andrew did?
Bennett March 6, 2011
Andrew January 15, 2008
A couple pictures with the 2 together…
Andy woke up to an uninvited guest in his bed…
At first he didn’t mind and they had a good time joking around and telling secrets…
but after he realized that his guest was not leaving…
he decided to use force…
we won’t tell you who won…
As the warm weather has moved in so have the ducks.
Andy and Peter have enjoyed the outdoors while Bennett and mom get some quiet time inside…
We would like to thank everyone for the wonderful presents you have given Bennett and everything that you have provided for our family during this busy period.
We also wanted to share 2 special notes from Bennett’s cousins, thank you for the the heart felt words….
Don’t worry Bennett couldn’t even tell it was a girly bag 😉
Over the past 10 days we have seen several different faces of Bennett. We are still waiting for a smile but the faces in the meantime are quite interesting…
This past week has been filled with Bilirubin level and weight checks. Everyday we have had to make the trek down to Maple Grove to make sure Bennett continues to grow and keeps jaundice away.
Andy has been a tremendous help, but came down with fever early in the week. This caused an increased lack of sleep for everyone…
We have one final bilirubin level check tomorrow to make sure we are in the clear. Luckily we haven’t had to have Bennett under the “lights” yet. If you remember Andrew wasn’t so lucky:
During tummy time today Bennett decided to try and Crawl…
Andy is really enjoying his new brother
We came home from the hospital last night and enjoyed a peaceful night in our own beds. Bennett is doing great and Andrew loves being a big brother!
At 8:08 pm on February 24, 2011 we welcomed a new member to the Schneider family, Bennett Michael Schneider. He is a healthy 8 lbs. 4 oz, 21.5 inches long.
Baby and mom are doing great!
