Benny is three months!

Benny baby is three months!







He weighs about 15 and a half pounds (!) and is 26 inches tall. Our boy is gonna be huge!

He is still eating every 3 or so hours during the day and then waking up once in the night and once early morning.

I don't technically have him on a set schedule yet but I need to get that going. We are thinking about sleep training him here in a couple weeks. Currently he naps in my arms most of the time and he needs to learn to self soothe because he's been waking up earlier because he gets restless and can't calm himself. I forgot how hard this part of parenting is...pray for us. Haha.

He holds his head up really well and is awesome at tummy time (when we remember to do it and when he's not in a bad mood.)

He loves being held or being in the baby carrier facing outwards.

He has the sweetest dimple! 

We blessed him in church a couple weeks ago. We had a lot of family that came and supported and the rain cleared up and it was a beautiful day at our home with lots of yummy food after. Thank you to everyone who came and helped! 









He likes looking at himself in the mirror on our baby swing. But the swing has to be going really fast for him to be content.

He kicks and flails and flings his arms like crazy. Especially right after waking up in the morning.

He has recently started smiling! Ahhh. He does the cutest big mouth smiles that absolutely melt me. He loves when you smile at him and talk to him in a high pitch voice. He's also done a few laughs but those are hard to come by at this point.

We started putting him in cloth diapers part time now that they fit him. He's the cutest in them!

So far it seems as though he hates his car seat and driving in the car if he's awake haha. My mom just said today when I was on the phone with her, “every time you're driving and talking to me I can hear Benson screaming in the background!” Haha. Hopefully he will learn to love it.

He still isn't very good at taking a binky. But we figured out the MAM ones stay in his mouth the best out of any other ones.

He is wearing 6 month clothes! He is so tall and chubby!

His hair seems to be holding on! We haven't noticed any falling out yet which is super exciting. Tucker had already started losing it at this point.

He has blue eyes! They're very pretty and I'm hoping they will continue to get bluer!

He has grown to love bath time, something he has in common with his big brother!

Last month he was put on zantac for reflux. He takes it in the morning and evening and its been a lifesaver! He is such a happier baby now.














He is getting bigger by the minute and we love our Benzy baby so much!
