Baby Benjamin: 9 Weeks!

Weight: 12 pounds 1 ounce!

Health: Nothing new here... had his 2 month check up yesterday and Ben got 3 shots!  He handled them well and slept most of the afternoon.
Sleep: Doing well... our nightly routine for the most part is to put him down around 9 then we do a dream feed at 11 then he will go till 7am... but he sometimes stirs around 4-5ish... and he will sometimes take his pacifier and that will sooth him back to sleep but not Sunday night... I ended up feeding him a 2 oz. bottle... guess our little man is going through another growth spirt!
 Social: Loves to play peek-a-boo and continues to talk more and more!  Love his little baby sounds!
Diet: Milk, milk and more milk!  He now takes 5 oz. during the day and a 6 oz. bottle before bed.

Clothes: 0-3 Month clothes and size 2 diapers!  After a few big blowouts we moved him up to size 2's!
Baby Gear Loves: I'm loving his new sound machine!  It offers many options for soothing sounds and also has an option for an iPod.  We use this for every nap and especially at night time.

Crying: Same old thing here... hungry or tired!
Likes:  Ben is starting to enjoy peek-a-boo!  We play by draping a light weight blanket over his face  then pull it off quickly... and he just smiles and opens his mouth... It gets him excited and he really kicks his legs... I'll have to post a video of it soon... it is really funny!  He also enjoys the mirror on his activity mat!  It is new entertainment for him!!
Postpartum:  Still not working out but we have started walking in the mornings and we are really enjoying it!  We get out of the door by 7:45ish and are back no later than 8:45... that is when it starts to get a little warm.  But I am looking forward to doing a little more exercise activities to help loose these last few pounds before we head to the beach in July.
Milestones: Continuing to sleep through the night!  And our 2 month Dr. check up... along with 3 shots!  He also enjoyed his first time in the pool and first time to swing!
