Benson's 2 Month Update

I can't believe my little Benny boo is two months today! I feel like we just came home a few weeks ago! He is happy, healthy and getting so big! Poor little guy had jaundice for almost a month :( they called it "breastmilk jaundice" which they said wouldn't cause him any harm it would just take a little longer to go away. So his yellowish color is finally gone! He really is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I cant believe that he grew inside of me.

At two months now he has definitely continued to gain weight! He has grown about 4 inches in only two months. The doctor says he is going to be tall. He grew out of his newborn clothes at about 5 weeks and is now in all of his 3 month things. He has the cutest smile!! And I know he recognizes his mommy and daddy because when someone else is holding him, and we walk over to look at him, he smiles!!! One of my favorite things that he has started to do is make all of these cooing noises. He is a happy happy baby, most of the time. When he is not so happy, and won't stop crying, we have found that the vacuum instantly does the trick. I turn it on for about 10 minutes do my vacuuming and he either falls asleep or is totally calm :)

His sleeping has continued to be pretty wonderful. Most nights he goes at least for a 7 hour stretch and now goes up to 8. Adrian and I feel very blessed that he has been consistent with that thus far. Adrian definitely has had the touch when it comes to putting him to sleep, and I am so grateful for the fact that he works full time and then comes home and helps me so much! My boys are all I could have ever asked for!



Some of his favorite things are showering with his dad, being the center of attention, his bouncer chair that also vibrates and watching the Warriors whoop on everyone!
We LOVE our BENNY BOY!
