My sweet Bennett boy,
You my precious boy are such a joy and added light to our family! You smile so easily and so sweetly. You love to watch your big brother and hold your Momma. You have become very chatty these last few weeks and make the sweetest noises. You, my dear, are just that... sweet.
We have been busy this month! You experienced your first Christmas with all our traditional stops. You were loved on and passed around and thrown off your schedule without complaint. You didn't know what was going on, but you were a trooper!
You continue to get stronger. Your head gets less wobbly everyday and you're beginning to prefer sitting up right as opposed to reclining in the arms of whomever is holding you. You are content in your bouncy seat, but love your swing less then you once did. You are beginning to grab things and hold tight to your finds, especially Momma's hair. You love bath time and are getting less and less fond of your car seat, but I think that has to do with how much time you had to spend in it over Christmas.
You graduated to size 2 diapers this last week and size 3-6 months clothes. Your 0-3's still have plenty of room width wise, but not length. You were sporting high water pants and 3/4 length sleeves until we washed you hand-me-downs.
You biggest accomplishment this month is you sleep almost all night every night! This is AMAZING!!! You go from 11-12 every night until 8 or so every morning. I don't know if this is due to our Babywise schedule or if you are just fantastic, but we'll take it either way! I really can't believe how good of a sleeper you are. If you do wake during the night, you eat and go right back to sleep.
You are eating 5 oz. of formula at a feeding and eating about 6 times during the day. We visited the doctor about halfway through this month and you weighed 13 pounds, 6 ounces and were 34 inches long. Right on target with where Tucker was at your age.
This next month will be a big one for our family. You will become an older brother! We are busy getting ready to add Casen to our brood and I hope you adjust to having an almost-twin without too much fuss. It's gonna get crazier then usual for a while! But you will always have a friend and playmate who will grow up right beside you.
Bennett we love you so fiercely and are so honored to be your family. You are precious in every way and are so easy to love. Thank you for the beautiful addition you are to our family and the way you smile! You are pure joy!
Love you more,
Momma
