Baby Benjamin: 7 Weeks!

Weight: Not sure but thinking 10+ pounds.

Health: Still has a little stuffy noes, but getting better.

Sleep: Benjamin has officially moved into his room!!!  We started him in there at night on Friday when my mom came over and got up with him so we could sleep more than 3 hours at time and have keep it up!  He is doing great and last night went a little over 4 hours then 3.5 hours in between his night time feedings!  We are headed in the right direction!
Social: He is all smiles these days... when he is fed, clean and well rested!  We enjoyed our first event at Waterway Square for the Memorial Day Celebration and he did excellent!  Then Sunday headed to our friends house for a crawfish boil and he didn't do so well... it was 90 degrees plus and I think he got a little hot and over tired... but he is still very alert and loves to take in all sights.

Sweet Cousins!


Diet: Breast Milk and one formula bottle at noon feeding each day.  Our Pediatrician advised us to introduce formula into his diet to get him used to it... in case we are ever in a bind and for when I stop pumping.  And we bumped him up again to 4.25 oz each feeding.  And he takes 8 bottles a day.

Clothes: 0-3 Month clothes and size 1 diapers!  Loving putting him in a new outfit everyday!
Baby Gear Loves: This weekend I found the best invention ever... it is an online website that tracks everything... and since we are trying to be more on a schedule/routine it is SUPER helpful... check it out... http://www.trixietracker.com.  It is absolutely amazing and I'm obsessed!  We are using it to track Bottles, Sleep and Pumping.

Crying: Baby boy isn't happy when he is hungry, tired and the new one... too HOT!
Likes:  He enjoys being outside... but when it isn't to hot... We enjoyed an evening at Waterway Square Saturday and he did awesome!  And yesterday we enjoyed a Memorial Day cookout at my sister and brother-in-laws and he enjoyed hanging out on the patio!  And he loves it when Daddy reads to him before bed!


Postpartum:  I had my 6 week postpartum check up last week and I am not 100% cleared to work out just yet... She said I should wait a few more weeks... so I'm going to keep walking and in a few weeks turn up the working out game plan!
 40 weeks and 6 weeks old!

Milestones: Officially sleeping in his crib at night!  This is a BIG milestone and we are all adjusting really well.  Also, we are getting out and about more and more which has been really fun!  Lunch dates with friends, summer cook outs and fun out at Waterway Square... Look forward to many more events and outings!

Extra:  We finally got Ben's birth announcements in the mail last week and love how they turned out!!
