Bennett means "Blessed".
Daddy got to pick out a girl name, and I got to pick a boy name. When we were deciding I heard your name and thought it was meant to be part of our family. We have been SO blessed. God is SO good. And being given the gift of YOU Bennett has been one of the best blessings in our family.
One MONTH! Flies by. Wow. You have been a good baby and allowing mommy and daddy lots of sleep! On the night before you turned 1 month you slept EIGHT hours between feedings! Praise God. We have been given gifts of sleepy babes!
After we left the hospital you weighed 9 lbs 8 oz. (We left on a Thursday). We went back in on that Saturday to weigh in and you were 9lbs 13 oz. On Tuesday, we went in for your 1 week appt and you were past your birth weight at 10 lbs 5 oz! You are a HAAS. and eat ALL. The. Time!
Your first few nights at home you were not a night time sleeper, but taht quickly changed. After night two yo ustarted sleeping 4 hours at a time during night, then 6, and now up to 8 hours at a time! You are a much needier baby than your sister. You certainly like to be held, snuggled, and bounced. You dont prefer to lay flat and you are not content just "being". But, thats okay because I am soaking up all the snuggles I can get while Im on my short maternity leave. Also, you HATE the bathtub! We are starting to see little smiles but no full on smiles yet!
