Benjamin | 2 Month Update

9:30 PM

Another month has come and gone and Baby Benjamin is now two months old.  I don't know  how this has happened.  Times passes by too quickly!



Height: 23.5 in
Weight: 13lbs 3oz 


Sleep



Benjamin continues to sleep in the dock a tot which is in our bed at night.  He mostly still sleeps in 3 hour stretches at night.  He did give me one really good stretch of sleep from 11:00-5:45 one night (I unfortunately didn't get to sleep all those hours because both boys woke up at different times).   



Eat



Benjamin is still exclusively breastfeeding.  He loves to nurse.  He is still nursing about every three hours, sometimes more frequently during the day.

My Sweet Benny Bunny



How has two months passed us by so quickly.  I feel like you just arrived, but at the same time like you've always been apart of our family.  You are starting to be more awake and continue to just have the sweetest go with the flow personality. You have decided that being awake from about 8-10pm is something you enjoy and I have been enjoying getting a little one on one time with you after you brothers and sisters are asleep.  You are growing so quickly I can't believe how big you look now compared to pictures of when you first came home.  I love you sweet boy and can't wait to see what this next month has in store for you!


Love you forever and always

Mommy
