The Middle Child

I made a vow when I found out I was pregnant with Ann Phelps that Ben would not be the typical middle child. I have tried so hard to make sure he doesn't feel pushed aside. When I was in the hospital after AP was born, he would cry and try to run from the room. He didn't want me. Things have gotten better since we have been home. I have taken him on some "mommy and Ben" trips to Wal-Mart and the grocery store. He is still adjusting to not being the baby anymore, but he still has his moments. He went for his 18month check-up yesterday: he weighs 33lbs.!!! In the picture, you can tell he has a hard time understanding what is his and what is Ann Phelps'!
