Benny and His Boys

It's been interesting to see how Ben has reacted to having another child, he was a lot more open to the idea of a baby than I was when we first found out Rowan was on his way and he helped me to come around and be OK with it too.

Ben fell in love with Rowan pretty much instantly, he's very proud of his fat baby. I find him just looking at the baby a lot.

Deacon always wants to be in Ben's lap whenever he sits down, even if his hands are full with 'Brother'. This is a very common sight when Ben takes the baby after he gets home. I sometimes wonder how the poor guy feels when he walks through the back door after a day at work, he's got dogs waggin and waiting for attention, Shryn even whines at him to pet her, then Deacon who always comes barreling down the hall as soon as he hears the door, I am always ready for some adult conversation or just a few minutes without a baby demanding all my attention, and we all converge on him at once! He sure does know he's loved though! ;)

Once again, Deacon must be in Daddy's lap, especially if 'Brother' is, they were watching something together but I can't remember what. I appreciate that no matter what I ask him to do for the baby or Deacon, Ben is willing to do it, he changes diapers, feeds, burps, bathes, puts Deak down for naps and bed, makes lunch and dinner, he's pretty good in that regard.

I gave Benny the baby to burp him after he ate (no, he does not have a burp cloth under him, this baby does not spit up at all, it's not normal) and Rowan passed out on his shoulder. There is nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby.
