First Month Musings

"Our Boy" (as he is reffered to at Casa Watson) had his one month birthday this past week. We can’t imagine our life without him. Ben grows cuter everyday and we love watching each new discovery, expression and wiggle. He met his Grandma Claudia and Grandma and Grandpa Watson this past week and enjoyed all the cuddles.

We have learned so much this past month…we found out that when Ben is having a fussy attack the only thing that will calm him is the sound of our rather loud vacuum. Mark recorded the sound, put small speakers in his bassinet and now we all get lulled to sleep by the vacuum’s roar which then segues into the ever soothing rainforest and waterfall soundtrack. Hard to believe Leah used to need silence to sleep!

Fall has arrived in Newton and we are enjoying the gorgeous colors, the crackle of leaves underfoot and the crisp fresh air. We love taking Ben out for walks and watching him enjoy the cool air on his cheeks. Our hearts are filled with grateful joy.
