So I created this website basically for Ryan and myself, so we can have an outlet and a forum for our obsession with Benjamin Ian Bartlett. We invite and expect all family members and friends to also be obsessed with him.
Ben was born on October 5th, and--don't let anyone tell you otherwise--it was extremely painful and it was 13 hours long and epidurals are a miracle sent from God. I haven't slept more than three hours in a row, and the other night, I fell asleep while feeding him, waking myself when my head lolled back and hit the wall. The plus side to all of this is that Ryan and I can't stop staring at him-- he is so beautiful--and his head smells amazing. Even his pooh smells like buttermilk (although that's just the breast milk talking).
A sidenote: today I learned that in Mexico, it is considered bad luck to keep the umbilical cord after it falls off. You have to take it to a forest and bury it--keeping it would make the baby fearful. I think I'll just stick it in my scrapbook instead.
A plea: please don't call him Benji. It reminds me of Benji the Hunted (that dog). You are welcome to call him Benny instead.

Congratulations, a beautiful boy! I became a grandmother this year and I have some idea of how you are feeling...or at least how your parents feel. The time goes fast so treasure each moment.
Congratulations guys. What a beautiful boy! I have no idea where he gets his good looks...(-:
Just kidding.
I have 3 years experience under my belt, I can be a good reference to any questions that you guys might have. You need a bit more help than that book next to you Ang.
Take care guys and wish you all the best.
Cheers

PS: Mmmmmmmmmmmm buttermilk poop
Ryan and Angela,
WOW, welcome to family world! Congratulations on a very handsome baby boy, Ben Ian! What a neat idea in creating the obsession forum especially for Ben. I would love to meet him! When you visit the Bay Area, please give me a buzz.
Take care and CONGRATS to both of you!
Hugs and kissess to Ben,
Auntie CJ
Congratulations Angela & Ryan - my favorite American family has a new addition!
You can tell Benjamin that he already has admirers Down Under, so when his pop career gets underway you know where to send him!!
All the best.
