Well, it is time to finally update the blog. Benton Leon was born March 24th at 2:24pm. He was 7lb 15oz and 21 inches long. Oh, are we on the ride of our lives! This little man captures our hearts hundreds of times each day. I'm not sure how he does it, but he does. We are ever so grateful for this little, yet huge, blessing.
Benton loves this book. He is very entertained by it :)

We made an evening trip to visit Great Grandma Steen. Benton's middle name is after his Great Grandpa Leon Steen, who was very special to Luke.

Benton imitating Daddy, or the other way around ;)
First semi-real bath
Daddy time
Kinsey & Luke went to the lot we're building on to pick up some rock in preparation. She even drove the truck around where the house will be!
Benton's first trip to his future home. They are just inside the garage...yes you must use your imagination.
We are extremely excited to live in Garrison so Luke can see Benton more and not have to drive every day!
Grandma Hanson came over & I got to shower!
This reminds me of a picture of Luke when he was little.
Kinsey is a super Aunt!She is amazing with babies! She even stayed the night and helped out with the night feedings. It was very helpful! We love her!

Right after Benton was born
Benton was born on Grandma Hanson's Birthday! Grandma & Grandpa Hanson along with Aunt Kinsey came to visit that evening. Great Grandma Sevig had made a Birthday cake for my mom's Birthday get together and it ended up here.
Grandma & Grandpa Steen came to visit the next day and went out to lunch with Luke.
That evening we even got to visit with Aunt Alissa, Uncle Tony, and cousins Stuart & Kate...AND we later found out their Baby #3 to come!!! Stuart couldn't get enough of the gloves...they were blowing them up and having a blast.
Here is our last pregnancy picture day...Luke's Birthday!
St Patrick's Day get together & Luke's Birthday celebration!

So cute! I can't WAIT to meet Benton! Some of the pictures reminded me so much of what Leif looked like as a newborn! See you guys soon hopefully!
I've thought the same thing. It's funny how at different angles he looks like different people! It keeps me guessing what/who he will end up looking like!
