Bennett Week 8 (Sept 26-Oct 2)

Bennett in an outfit that was Jeff's when he was a baby!

Growth
  • You are kicking your legs and moving your arms more and more! I put you on your playmat and your tummy was behind the bolster (see 1st pic). Went to tell daddy something, came back, and this is what you looked like (2nd pic)! You had scootched (sp??) yourself all the way forward! Silly boy!
Sleep
  • Wow! You slept for 6 hours most nights last week! What a champ!
  • We are trying to put you down for the night at about 8:30 each night to get you into a routine. We bathe you, feed you, and sometimes read to you and then put you in bed. You're doing great with this routine and we love it because we get some time to ourselves!
  • I have decided you sleep like daddy! We put you in bed at one end and you wake up at the other end, having scootched (sp??) down there during the night! You are our wiggle worm, that's for sure!

Eating
  • Almost every bottle you eat now is 5 ounces! Sometimes you're sleepy and you leave 1/2 an ounce or so, but for the most part, you eat it all!

Personality
  • You continually see new things that make you smile! A big source of these smiles is the many faces that daddy and I make for you--and we LOVE it!

Fun Fact
  • Your very first diaper blowout was this week. While I was feeding you. All over my leg. Fun times! (What made me laugh is that when he actually tooted as I fed him, I exclaimed, "Wow! That was a good one!", but didn't notice anything until a few minutes later when I realized I'd meant to change his diaper before feeding him but forgot! Thank goodness I saved a diaper!)
