Bennett at Four Months


This little guy is four months old!

 He's 25 inches long and 15.3 pounds (both a little under 50th percentile).  Growing well and keeping everyone cheerful with his beautiful smiles.

He's started rolling from back to front a bit, and doesn't usually like it when he does.  We are experimenting with cloth diapers (Orelia's old pink and purple ones), and I find that makes him even more mobile because they have extra padding.

He loves to be entertained by smiling faces, silly dancing, mirrors (what a cute baby in there!), and dangling things on play mats.  

He enjoys a nice warm bath and a long walk outside (especially if I let him go without a hat).

His grip is fierce, so make sure you don't let him near your hair or necklaces.

Every morning when I go in to nurse him and am greeted by his smiling face, my heart swells with love.  I especially love him after a nice long twelve hour snooze.  Good job, B!

Now that I'm alone with both kids, he has learned how to fall asleep on his own (without a paci or rocking).  Siblings mean that the young ones need to learn to fend for themselves earlier, which is good in the long run.

We are so happy to spend our days with this fun and cheerful baby.  Bennett, we love you to pieces!
