Party of 4!

Baby Benjamin: 4 weeks!

Weight: I think he is pushing 9 pounds, but we will find out for sure on Thursday at his one month dr. appointment!

Health: Good, but not looking forward to his one month shots later this week.  Also, he has a little baby acne... but know that will clear up in the next few days/weeks.

Sleep: Same as last week... going 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 hours at night... looking forward to stretching this to 5 hours more constantly soon!
Social: We have had a few outings and play dates lately... and look forward to a few more later this week and next!  We also enjoyed a little facetime with Great Mommom and Great Poppop Baker!  Look forward to seeing them this summer!
Diet: Mommas milk!

Clothes: He has outgrown most of his newborn cloths... and officially in 0-3 month gear!  I love the photo below... he looks like a little man!
Baby Gear Loves: With 4 weeks of baby behind us there are so many baby gear items we just LOVE... I'm going to do a separate post about "One Month - must have baby gear"... but right off the top of my head... this weeks must haves... Medela Pump, bottles and calma nipples, and his Mamaroo and bouncy seat!
Crying: He is pretty content unless he is hungry... we are working on patience!  Haha... let me rephrase... we are prayerfully asking for patience... both for Benjamin and momma.

Likes:  This week we have realized he really likes to be outside... we went for a short walk the other day in his Baby K'tan and he was wide awake just looking around at the trees and sky... and then today we were outside for a little bit and he loved it!

Postpartum:  Lots a few more pounds this week!!  Still waiting to be cleared from my dr. so I can begin working off these last few pounds!  Also finally packed up my maternity close this week!  I bought some space saver bags to pack them away in and LOVE them!  Will be using them for Ben's newborn clothes!  They are quick and easy and definitely save space!
Milestones: Aunt Jessica and Grandma Ingram came for a short visit!  This was Aunt Jessica's first time to meet baby boy!  We also ventured out for our first "out to eat" meal on Cinco de Mayo for lunch and Benjamin slept the entire time!
