Cute photos of the day: "Baby Ben", as we are addicted to calling him around here. He has discovered his thumb, as you can see. While this should be cause for alarm, seeing as I sucked mine into middle school (I guess this blog just turned into "True Confessions"), I have to admit that we're elated since this will mean no interruped nights of sleep to go in and grope around for a missing "pipie" (as with Jeran).

The boys went to the doctor today, so here are their stats:

JJ: 31 lbs. 371/2 inches tall

NOT a fan of having his ears looked into, and seems to be lacking a filter as he let our doctor in on the family secrets (ie: the excessive intake of chicken nuggets and juice and serious lack of green veggies (or veggies of any color for that matter).

Ben: 15lbs. 5 oz. (what a chub!) 25 1/2 inches long

Took 5 shots to the legs today. What a trooper - he only cried for about 10 seconds, but it was a heartwrenching cry, nontheless.
