Sweet Baby Ben, you loveto look out the big living room windows at the trees

Ben, your big brother Luke loves you very much! He asks about you first thing every morning!

Our sweet boys...we are so blessed

Ben, can it be that you are actually two months old already? So many days, its like it was just yesterday when your daddy said "it's a beautiful boy", and then there are days when we feel like we have known you much longer. You still love to curl up on my chest and it absolutely melts my heart. I smile just thinking about those snuggles we share and I will cherish those moments endlessly. You are becoming much more interactive and spending more time awake, which we love to watch your personality develop. It doesn't matter what you are doing, when you hear Luke, you stop and try to find him. I can only imagine how you two will be the best of friends, it is my wish:) So, what is Mr. B up to at 2 months old:

-you have moved onto size 1 diapers

-weigh nearly 11 lbs

-still nursing every 2-3 hours during the day

-you like to start bedtime around 6:30 p.m, then you will sleep until 3-4 a.m. which mommy loves!

-there are nights when you wake up at midnight, then again at 5 a.m but you almost always go right back to bed so I can handle our quiet, dark, middle of the night feedings.

-we moved you to your crib in your room upstairs on October 31st, it hasn't been going so well this week, but we will get there!

-you absolutely love your bath! We put your little bath in the big bath tub with Luke and he helps give you a bath and you two have so much fun together

-you have no schedule, what so ever...and it is driving mama crazy, but I know we will get there. we have been somewhat following eat.wake.sleep, but you really fight your naps during the day so it takes us awhile to get you settled in for a nap

-you love love love the baby bjorn!

-you still want to be held a lot while you sleep and this week we are starting to work harder at putting you in your crib or bassinet for naps, it is a work in progress:)

-I love to hold you my sweet little boy...but sooner or later you will have to nap in your crib!

-you are still wearing a few newborn clothes, mostly just the pants, the onesies don't fit too well and are hard to snap

-you rolled over from your tummy to your back twice today, on your 2 month birthday!

-you enjoy spending time on your tummy and you hold your head up very very well, even the doctor commented on how strong you are

-you love to stand on our laps and look around, you get so excited

-you are squealing, cooing, and love to be heard in our crazy fun house!

-you celebrated your 1st halloween as the perfect little monkey

Ben, you are a blessing and perfect addition to our family! We love our little boys more than we could have ever imagined. Each day I feel like you are growing so fast, I want to slow down how quickly time is going. Daddy, mommy, and your big brother Luke love to you to the moon and back sweet Baby Ben!
