Matthew Benton Wilson, Jr. was born February 19, 2009 at 4:44 p.m. We are so excited that he is here, and although I am 8 months since my last blog and 6 weeks into life with our newest family member, I have decided to take on the challenge of keeping you up to date! The picture to the left is from his one month birthday :-)
Benton is a great kid--he is already sleeping through the night, and he is as pleasant as they come. He is our resident spitter upper. His cousin, Daniel, who is three weeks older than he has been having a lot of fun with Benton. We are so excited that they will be great friends!
Of course these first few weeks they change so much--today Benton looks a lot older. He is really starting to fill out. In his first month, he gained 7 pounds 2 ounces. Today he is well over 10 pounds. He is a good eater for certain. He enjoys chatting with Mommy and Daddy and he is working on his real smile. I am pretty sure he has found it finally.
Matt and I went away last night and Benton stayed with his Grandma Campbell. He was an angel. He did have a major blowout, but everyone in our family is getting really good at handling those!
We are about the wrap up our semester at BJU and will head out to Arizona again to help out with Camp on Wheels. We are excited about our summer staff and cannot wait to share Benton with everyone. We truly are thankful to the Lord for His blessing in our lives and are looking forward to what He has in store!
