Boys are so fun!

So when I had my surgery, I couldn't lift Banick or carry him for about a day. So Aaron had to take care of him all thru the night! He did such a good job and was incredibly exhasted afterwards. He said to me, "I don't know how you do that every night!" I just said "You just do it with Love!"
But sometime during the day, Aaron changed his diaper, (yes, he even does that!), and he said it was really messy. Then ten minutes later he had to change him again, because he went again! But this time when he took his diaper off, Banick pottied straight up and everywhere! it almost hit the wall, Aaron said!
Ahh, the joy of boys! He hasn't hit his mommy with that trick yet, but he has no problems tooting in a Lady's presence! He-He-He!!

One Month Old! June 18th


Photos

I went to view the professional photographs that we had done when Banick was just eight days old. They turned out absolutely perfect! I had to chose between about a hundred different ones. It was incredibly hard. I wanted them all!
He really has grown since then. I didn't really realize how much because he is just still so tiny. But in those photos he has layers and layers of wrinkley skin! On his back, his hands, his legs...and now all those wrinkles are pretty much filled out!
The Announcement should be done in about two weeks. It is adorable and well worth the wait!

Kick the Daddy

Daddy Aaron has invented two games to play with Banick. "Kick the Daddy", and "Running".
In "Kick the Daddy" Aaron uses Banick's tiny feet to well,...Kick the Daddy! Banick laughs at him!! Really! It's so sweet!
In "Running", Aaron uses Banick's arms to make it look like he's running. Intense, I know. He loves that one too.
His attention span is as short as his arms and legs, but it is so fun to watch Baby and his best friend play together.
He is smiling a lot more every day, and he knows his Mommy and Daddy just love him to pieces.

Laughin in the swing!


Sleepy Baby and Daddy!


Aaron + Robyn = Banick!!

Banick Andrew Inabnit
Born: May 18, 2008
Wgt: 7'7"
Lngth: 21"

Our beautiful first son is finally here! We have been so blessed! He is a perfect 10! (fingers and toes, that is!) He has guite a bit of hair on that little head of his, and it is a reddish-blond color!
His eyes are blue (so far), his nose is teeny, and his fingers are long--so everyone tells us!

I have never experienced a love like I feel for this little bundle. From the moment they laid him on my stomach all gooey, and cone headed-and I held on to his skinny little leg to keep him close, I knew I would never stop loving this beautiful creation that God gave me. Made inside of me. Was and is part of me.

Aaron cut the cord, they cleaned him up, and handed him into my open heart. We both cried, and I couldn't believe I was a mommy. The labor was "laborious", painful, exhausting, etc. The days after were nothing I could have ever prepared myself for in trials. But none of that matters now, and I would do it all again, just to hold the darling angel in my arms, and have him look at me with those big, innocent, totally dependant eyes.

Some of my favorite memories of Banick's birthday are- my water breaking on the couch at 5:30 in the morning, and me running into the bedroom to tell Aaron "it's time!". My mom, dad, and Aaron's mom being there supporting. Aaron praying the sweetest prayer for me right before I was about to push. Me having to hold my own legs up while my arms and hands were completely dead numb. And holding Banick's naked little body up to my heart to feel it's beat for him.

We love you Baby Boy. Can't wait to spend life with you.
