Benjamin
Michael
Singer -- May!
UPDATED 05/18/2004
On the 24th anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens,
Benjamin's eight weeks old -- almost two months now! He's
definitely starting to stay up longer stretches (taxing the patience
and ability of his parents), but he's also sleeping longer stretches
through the night. One night he slept more than eight hours
straight! (Causing me to wake up every two hours -- "Is it time
to feed him yet? Huh? Huh? What's wrong? He's
still asleep?!) He's holding his head up and looking around at
things, starting to focus on pages of books now and then, or bat at
objects. And he's smiling occasionally! (One of these days
we'll get a good picture of it -- of course, the stubborn guy refuses
to do it on-cue.)
These last few weeks were highlighted by a four-generation celebration
of Melissa's first Mother's Day! Jack and Lucia Gilbert and
Lucia's mother Nonna Albino all travelled here to see us. And the
following weekend, Benjamin's godfather Michael Cohen visited.
Looking
appropriately Machiavellian in the pictures below, he intends to teach
Benjamin the Italian Club bidding system at the first possible
opportunity. On a lighter note, he was highly excited to read
Benjamin his first book, in which he found the answer to the question
"What Do Bunnies Do All Day?" We also took a walk around the pond
and saw ducklings, goslings, turtles, and egrets.
