Benjamin was 2 months old on May 6th. It's really amazing how fast babies grow at this stage. Last month he was just a cute little lump that didn't interact much. Now he's smiling and cooing and quite the little chunk!
If Benjamin is on Xander's level you can bet they'll be hanging out together. Usually Xander is good and he knows to be gentle with Benjamin. However, immediately after this picture was taken Xander gently put his foot on Benjamin's head, looked at me with a sneaky grin, and said "Gentle?" Ugh!
I'm not sure if B is going to be the water baby that his brother was. He seems to have a love/hate relationship with the bath right now. Sometimes he's cooing and kicking, other times he LOOSES HIS EVER LOVING MIND!
He does enjoy the warm cuddles after the bath though! I don't mind too much either!
So when we're at home B wants to be held non-stop and sleeps for 15-30 mins at a time MAX. But if we're out he sleeps the entire time! He loves his car seat and stays warm and snuggly in his down bag. We end up getting out of the house a lot because he's so much easier than when he's at home.
And this is how we survive days around this house. He HAS to be worn almost the entire day. I'm just thankful to be able to get some things done!
SMILES! We have smiles people! And that makes everything SO much easier. This kid loves to smile! And he's got some adorable dimples too! And thank you Martha for the gorgeous blanket! We all fight over it! :)
We went out for the first time as a family of 4 for my birthday. All my boys looked incredibly handsome and most of them behaved :)
At 2 months Benjamin is tipping the scales at 12 lbs, which was Xander's weight when he was 4 months! I LOVE seeing his little chunk and knowing I don't have to worry about his weight like I did with Xander. He rapidly grew out of his newborn and 3 month clothes and I've already had to dig out 6 and 9 month clothes!
Can I be completely honest about something? While it was "love at first sight" for both my boys it took a few weeks to fall in love with them. Its like, there's this little thing that has all of a sudden joined your family and you have to get to know them, just like in any relationship. Well...I am now smitten with my little B! He's a terrible sleeper and an ton of work but I'm so in love and glad he's a part of our little party of 4!
