Welcome to the world, baby Benjamin!

Benjamin Steven Lightle was born at his house on September 29th, 2009 at 10:06pm after a roughly 8-hour labor. He weighed 8 lbs and 15 oz at birth and was 21.5 inches long. He scored a 10 on his 5-minute Apgar evaluation!

He's a very easy-going baby so far! He sleeps for most of the day and night, only waking up every couple of hours to eat. He has two longer waking periods in the morning and evening, when he likes to just look around at the world. He mostly only cries when he's hungry or when he's having his diaper changed. The cynic in me is waiting for the other shoe to drop, but at least for this transitional time, we're very thankful that he's so low-maintenance!
