Benson was blessed in our home last Sunday morning (actually in the backyard because we couldn't fit everyone comfortably in our living room). He was given a beautiful blessing by his father. Much of our family was there, and it was intimate and lovely. Benson behaved well and just kicked his legs during the blessing.
He also behaved well by sleeping through the WHOLE night for the first time. I had put him to bed at 9:45pm, and he slept until 7am. I even woke him at 7 because Madeline, amazingly enough, was also still asleep and I didn't want him to start crying and wake her up. He promptly went back to sleep after I brought him into bed with us and fed him. Until 10am. He's the best baby. He was up just in time to eat again and get dressed before everyone arrived. 
We took lots and lots of pictures. It's getting a little more difficult to do now that he's discovered his hands. A good portion of the pictures have my hand in them trying to hold his hands down and away from his mouth.

I loved his little outfit. Madeline insisted that he looked like a girl, and it WAS an outfit that I had gotten for her, but she had never worn. I maintain that it was unisex and just fine for my sweet baby boy. I'm not into the stiff little suits at his age. This was soft and cuddly.
Under him are the blankets Scott and I were wrapped in when we were blessed.
