Part of me wants to say I can't believe it's been two months, but really I can believe it! We have gotten into a good groove, and I'm figuring out my days with both boys. I can't imagine life now without our sweet Bennett! It has been so much fun this month seeing him "wake up"!
"What?! 2 months already?!"
Stats: Weight 13 lbs 15 oz 93%
Length 24 in 97%
Head 16 3/4 in >99%
Well it's pretty obvious we have a big boy on our hands! What can I say - he likes to eat! Bennett had a perfect check up at the dr last week, and he only screamed for about 5 seconds when he got his shots.
Eating: Bennett eats 4-5 oz 8 times a day. Last week we had 3 good nights in a row where he slept for a stretch of 5 hours, but then he got a cold and it's back to 3ish. Usually he eats about 2am, 5am, 8am, 11am, 2pm, 5pm, 7:30pm, and 10pm. Selfishly I'm so ready for him to consistently go for about 5-6 hours at night because I'm exhausted! I know the day will come soon enough that he'll be sleeping through the night.
Personality: Bennett is just too sweet! Just like Graham was, he's a very calm, chill, easy going baby. He's as happy as can be most of the time! The evening hours have even improved lately. We have really enjoyed seeing his sweet personality come out this month as he's started to smile and "talk" more and more.
Sleeping: Bennett sleeps in his room in the rock n play. We put him to bed at 7:30. I'm hoping to move him to his crib soon but not until he's over this cold. During the days he takes good naps in the mornings while we're out and about, and then takes one or two cat naps in the afternoons and evenings. He likes to nap in his swing or the nap nanny. He usually wakes up to eat, stays awake for about an hour, and then naps for about an hour.
Likes: lights, ceiling fans, sleep sack, sound machine, people talking to him, Praise Baby DVDs, diaper changes
Dislikes: baths, stopping at lights or in traffic when we're in the car
Milestones: He's smiling and talking to us! The past couple of weeks he made us work really hard to get him to smile, but now it is coming a lot more easily and frequently. His whole face lights up when you get really close and start talking to him! He's also learning to find his voice, and he always has the proudest look on his face after he makes a good sound. It's so cute! Bennett is holding his head up really well. We don't do tummy time as much as we should, but he gets plenty of practice other ways and is doing great.
Clothes: I had to pack away newborn and 0-3 month clothes last week. 3 months fits perfectly! He mostly wears onesies, pants, and pajamas. He has trouble keeping shirts down over his belly! Bennett is currently wearing size 1 diapers just until I run out, and then he'll be switching to size 2.
Favorite moments: Of course having him begin to interact with us has been awesome! I love when he recognizes me as I walk up to him or by him in a room. Also whenever Graham is around, Bennett follows him with his eyes as best as he can. Graham is starting to pay a little more attention to him, but he has yet to hold him!
Looking forward to: celebrating the holidays!
Chubbers!
Couch time with Daddy before bed!
And proof that he's not always happy! :)
Oh sweet Bennett, we love you and are so thankful that you're a healthy, happy, growing boy!
