Wow...3 months!
Stats: He weighs about 16 pounds. We don't have to go back to the Dr. until his 4 month appointment.
Eating: Bennett eats 6 times a day, 5 oz at each feeding. He eats about 3:30 am, 8:00, 12:00, 4:00, 7:00, and 10:00 pm.
Personality: Oh this boy, he is just the sweetest thing ever! He's very much an observer, just watching and taking it all in. Most of the time he's quick to smile and sometimes he'll make noises and "talk" back to you. But he just likes to sit back and see what's going on. He doesn't like to be laying down - he wants to sit up so he can see everything! For the most part, he's still very calm and easy going. He definitely likes a good schedule and routine, which is good because that's a necessity with 2 kids!
Sleeping: We had about 2 weeks of good, consistent night time feeding and right back to sleep, but this last week has been rough. He goes to bed about 7:30 - in his crib! - at night, and sleeps great until about 3 or 3:30. After he eats, he's been having some trouble settling down and going back to sleep. Usually he sleeps until about 7:00 am. He naps in his crib when we are home, and I'm so thankful he always goes down so easily! We put his sleep sack on with arms out, read a book, sing a few songs, and put him down. There's MAYBE few minutes of fussiness, but most of the time he just goes right to sleep!
Likes: lights, ceiling fans, Baby Einstein DVDs, following his brother with his eyes, having someone pay attention to him, his play mat, sitting up, bath time, diaper changes, his bouncer
Dislikes: being put down in the evenings, stopping while in the car, tummy time
Milestones: sitting up in his Bumbo so well, sleeping in his crib, talking and smiling, starting to bat at and grab at toys, holding rattles, tracking really well with his eyes - even when I think I'm far away across the room, he'll still find me!
Clothes: 3 month clothes are too small and tight! He's wearing 3-6 month and 6 month clothes. 3 month pajamas may last another week. We just switched to size 3 diapers. What can I say, we have a big boy! :)
Favorite Moments: Of course we love seeing his personality emerge more everyday! Also, we played Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus for our church Christmas program yesterday. Such a sweet and special memory that we also had with Graham 2 years ago!
Looking forward to: hopefully some easier nights! :), Graham paying more attention to Bennett - he's talking to him more and more but has still yet to hold him! :)
For these monthly pictures, Graham was running around like crazy behind me so you can see how Bennett is following him with his eyes!
Oh this sweet face!
He has yet to lose any of his hair! I think we are close to getting a hair cut soon!
This was too funny! While Graham was napping, I put Mickey in front of Bennett - he loved it! He just smiled and smiled! Later I did it while Graham was by me, and he immediately grabbed Mickey and took him away. And so it begins! :)
He loves his bouncer! We actually already put the swing away because we hardly used it, and he just wanted to sit up!
Who me?! I kept you up all night?! Good thing I'm cute!
Trying out the exersaucer at church - we are going to get ours out in the next few weeks!
Sweet Bennett, you are the perfect addition to our family! We love you so much!
