Whoa...time needs to slow down! This sweet boy will be 1 before we know it! What a huge month for him - lots of fun changes! He's still happy as ever!
Stats: We didn't go to the dr. this month and don't have to go back until his 9 month appointment. He's about 25 pounds. I will be anxious to see his length - his legs look so long!
Eating: Bennett eats at 7 oz bottle at 8:30, 12:30, 4:30, and 7:30. And, yes, he still wakes up to eat sometime between 3 and 5 am! For breakfast he has oatmeal, a fruit at lunch, and a veggie for dinner.
Personality: He is so happy all of the time and is always ready for the next adventure. He will do anything to get somebody to look at him, and then he'll start smiling and talking. He loves attention! Bennett has proven to be very tough this month. With his new mobility, he has taken quite a few tumbles. Most of the time he'll just roll over, get back up, and take off again. He is also getting more into Graham's toys, and we've had a few moments of Graham being a little rough with him. Bennett doesn't mind at all! A lot of times, Bennett is the one to try and "tackle" and play with Graham! He is into everything right now just exploring now that he's so mobile. I can let him out of my sight for a second. It's a very busy stage!
Sleeping: At night Bennett sleeps from 8:00pm - 7:00am, with waking up once and going right back to sleep. He naps from 9-10, and 1:30-4. I usually wake him up after an hour of napping in the mornings because if he sleeps much longer then his afternoon nap won't be as good. And that one's important because it's the same time Graham naps!
Likes: Graham, singing, clapping, being outside, interacting with people, bath time, toys that make noise
Dislikes: making him be still for too long while changing his diaper or clothes, being told no, having something taken away from him
Milestones: As soon as he mastered sitting last month, everything else just clicked to. He is officially a crawler (May 8th), and he can go from his belly to a sitting position. As soon as he started crawling, he started pulling up on anything and everything. His legs have gotten so much stronger and sturdier in the last few days. He is BUSY, BUSY BUSY. A 3rd tooth, one on top, broke through today. There are 3 more on top that look like they can come through any day. I'm so ready for them to...teething has been rough on B!
Clothes: He is in 9 month and 6-12 month clothes. Diapers are a size 4.
Favorite Moments: This past weekend was baby dedication at church. (blog post coming!) It was a special day for our family as we committed to raising Bennett in a Christian home. We are so thankful for our family, friends, and church family who have come along beside us in this crazy journey of parenthood.
Looking forward to: We are going on our first vacation as a family of 4 next week! It will be Bennett's first time on the airplane. We are scheduled to fly during nap time - here's to hoping he falls asleep! :)
Teething stinks!
So proud of himself!
Look at those long legs!
Crawling around in the sanctuary before church on Sunday!
My view A LOT!
Pulling up on the table, being told no, and looking right at Trent and flashing his huge smile - trouble!
My shopping buddy today!
Oh Bennett, you are such a joy! We love you!
Bennett has changed so much just in the last month. Still as happy as always.
