Bennett 5 months

Oh little buddy how fun you are becoming! You are MOSTLY happy..as long as someone is in front of you entertaining you :) We will chalk that up to daycare and an overactive big sister.

This month you had an exciting month. We had our first big lake stay and you even got to swim in the lake. You loved it!  We had to start food with you because you arent gaining weight as fast as the doctor would like (Although I believe it to be because you were a whopping 10 pounds at birth!). You are also finally working out of your swaddle and only getting up one time to eat AND you mastered the roll from front AND back. A couple of days ago you even scooted army style to get something Norah had.

Your old man hair is still there, although, you have some blonde coming through underneath! I think its time for a hair cut...

Bennett, those piercing blue eyes are beautiful. You love to stick out your tongue when you smile. And, nothing makes you more happy than your sister being silly to you.

No other word comes to mind other than "blessed" when we think of the wonderful addition you are to our family!

Bennett-4 Months

APril 24-May 24th. We had a fun 4th month! You weighed in at the doctor at 15 1/2 lbs and 26" long. 81st percentile for height and unsure on weight :) Doctor wanted you to come back in in a month to reweigh since your reflux was not allowing you to gain enough weight. She also gave the go ahead to start baby food! This month we did lots of things. We went as a family to Davenport to Jackson's 1st Communion. You had your first dip in the pool at the hotel and after you had your first belly laugh. Norah and your cousins were hardly doing anything and you just thought it was hilarious. We also took a trip to Kansas City for a graduation and our first weekend at the lake. This month you also started to roll over. You enjoy sitting in the bouncer and actually like watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. (Go Figure-so did your sister). Momma is looking forward to summer off and spending some 1:1 time with you lke I got to with Norah.  You also still love your swaddle AND your paci. You still get "HANGRY" at night when you wake up and we are going to start working on the self soothing to get to sleep :)

Whenever we see someone their comment is "Look at that receding hairline!".

Bennett- Three MOnths

Once again! Time flies :) Looking forward to having my summer with you. This month, you have grown out of your "infant" stage. You arem uch happier at night and are much more content just hanging out. I got you this sit me up, and one Saturday you sat in there for hours happy just looking around! March 24-April 24 included traveling to see the Havercamps (You traveled like a rockstar) and Easter!

You are starting to put your paci in your mouth yourself, and want to grab your bottle too. You still puke up quite a bit!

You love your sister and are doing lots more talking, cooing, and even belly laughing!
