Benjamin is now 8 weeks old.....that's right, I said 8 weeks old. I am proud to announce that he slept for a total of 7 hours (in a row) last night (11pm to 6:15am)! I think that by definition he slept through the night!! I am such a proud Mama. I am by no means naive enough to believe that he will do this from hear on out, but I do believe he is on the right track. I think that one of the biggest reasons he made such progress is because we started putting him in his crib at night (in his room upstairs). He seems to be a very light sleeper so I think that having us in the room may have cramped his style!! The other thing that is new this week is that he started eating like a pig. He went from eating ~3.5-4 ounces at each feed to wanting 5 ounces (and sometimes even 6 ounces) with each feed. His little cheeks are getting chubby and I love it!
I know that these first few pics look the same to most of you, but to me his expressions are so different. I just couldn't pick my favorite one so I posted them all. As you can tell from the pictures his head control has improved drastically from just last week. What a rock star!
This picture cracks me up. I asked Luke to lay on the pillow like his brother so I could take their picture. He is such a literal little boy!
We have been working on smiling with our eyes open. He is making some progress.
