Blue, White and Nude

Andrew has decided to start Ben off on the right track at an early age by dressing him in none other than a pint-sized Yankees jersey. He went out last night with another purpose and came home with not one but TWO Yankees outfits for our baby boy, one for now and a larger one for the fall and winter. Pop Caulfield certainly was proud of the newest Bronx Bomber in the family! Soon we'll have to take Ben to his first Yankees game to put his gear to work. ***We do welcome comments to be posted to our blog by non-Yankee fans; however, please be warned that any Mets or Red Sox gear that arrives in the mail for Benjamin will be Returned to Sender :).***

Below is Benjamin posing in his blue and white jersey, cap and all. A mini Derek Jeter in the making, wouldn't you think?


Sporting his gear during naptime. Those calves and biceps are a sure sign of a future short stop if you ask me:


Tonight while getting Ben ready for bed I realized that we hardly have any pictures of his little naked 11 week old body so I decided to take a few photos of our little guy. For the sake of his own dignity, I kept his diaper on :). What a big tummy!

We love close-ups of our little man and he seems to be getting used to having them taken. Below is just a cute photo from his changing table,we couldn't resist posting it. As a brief update on our guy apart from his photos, Ben has been officially sleeping through the night for one week now and last night he slept for about eight hours. I actually woke up before him this morning and started my day before going in to rouse him close to 7AM. He has actually been a fairly good sleeper from the start, since we got him accustomed to a regular feed-wake-sleep schedule early on, and had been only getting up once at night since the second or third week. But last Sunday night he started to sleep through without that 4AM awakening and it seems to be sticking. We just hope that it keeps up, especially once he starts to teethe. For now we are all happy to have some uninterrupted sleep!
