Go Skins!

Benjamin got a Portis jersey the other day from grandpa and was cheering on the skins yesterday...I guess he's not their lucky charm!

Merry Christmas!

Benjamin and family had a great Christmas! He got some baby crocs and cute 9 month old pjs. We went to my parents house for lunch and spent the day lounging around. Benjamin in sporting a "Baby's First Christmas" outfit, courtesy of Miss Tomi :)

Benjamin had his 2 month check up on wednesday and he isdoing really well! He weighs 14lbs and 5oz! That's 95th percentile lol. He also got 4 vaccinations and two snoopy band-aids on his big thighs. The dr said his fatty thighs would help the shots not to hurt as bad, and he didn't have much local pain. Four more at the next check-up!

I got the smile!

I managed to capture one this morning :) Look at that little round face! He is doing very well- we have our 2 month check-up on wednesday and he is going to get his shots :(

He's been sleeping very well- he goes to bed around 11pm (it takes about 45 mins of fussing to put him down though), then wakes up once or twice to eat but goes right back to sleep! Not bad!

Welcome to target benjamin!

Rollin'

Benjamin can roll from his belly to his back! Im not sure if the video will work from my phone, but its worth a try to post.

Big boy

These aren't fat rolls, they're muscles :) But really, I can hold myself up for quite awhile! Mommy had to put away all my newborn clothes and bring out the 3 month clothes because I'm a hefty 12-plus lbs now! Stay tuned for me updates :)

mmmmm

Mm I just learned how to suck on my hands! Self soothing is a useful life skill :)

But I don't wanna sleep!

Benjamin definitely has his night and day senses backwards because he slept allll day and has slept 2 hours tonight. At least I don't have to go to work in the morning!
I also included some pics of him in his new bumbo chair. He doesn't quite hold his head up all the way yet, but we are practicing :)

So precious

This mom thing is pretty fun. Granted, I get really cranky when I don't take my nap (he does too!) but it is so fun to see him grow. I swear he learns something new everyday. He's started to smile and can follow you around the room with his eyes. He weighs about 12 lbs, according to dillons package scale heehee. As he becomes more attentive, its been harder for him to fall asleep on his own, so I've been trying to teach him how. I don't want him to be too dependent on mommy to put him to sleep or feed him. We're also starting to have him use a bottle for one feeding a day. He doesn't like it much now, but he is going to need it when I go back to work in january. He's moving on to 3 month clothes! The newborn sizes are just too snug. He's also moving up to size 2 diapers!! Thanks everyone for all the newborn and size 1 diapers, we used them all!
Ill try to get the thanksgivng pics up soon...
