He shares his birthday with his daddy - 29 years apart.
When Helena arrived with Nani, she only had eyes for her brother. After holding him for about 15 seconds, she was ready to move on to other things - like hospital bed buttons!
Despite the allure of all the new things to experience, Helena did keep coming back to her brother. She was more than ready and eager to show him how to suck his thumb and to hold his hand.
Thank you for the lovely flowers Helena & Nani!

Isn't he purely wonderful? I love him so much.

Except for the part that you posted this at 4 a.m....congratulations! I love that last picture with Helena watching you intently. She has so much to teach little Ben and it's probably better that she doesn't know how much her carefree life is about to change. Tell Nani howdy. Now I have to go prove I'm not a robot. ~BBS
Congratulations, John & Charlotte! He looks just perfect, and the pictures with Helena are so sweet. Fun that he shares a birthday with Daddy!
LOVE!!!! What a handsome little man and a sweet big sister. Praying for you all during this time of transition and healing. And I'd love to hear the story of his arrival (when you get a spare minute.....in 20 years??).
