Two Months

I can't believe my little baby boy is almost out of the newborn stage! Why, oh why, do they have to grow up so fast!?! I'm trying to take in every second of this sweet and cuddly lil' chunk, but the days seem to go by so quickly! I can't help but to kiss, kiss, kiss his sweet perfect little lips and those adorable chubby cheeks!
 Bennett's sweet personality is starting to shine through! He has quite the calm and relaxing disposition. Just this morning as I was getting ready, Arrington went over to give him a kiss while he was in his bouncer and he gave her an ear to ear heart melting smile! It was the sweetest thing and Made. My. Day! I'm pretty sure these two are going to get along great! I sometimes will look down at Bennett and he is just gazing up with the biggest smile on his face! He sure loves his Mommy!
Bennett has been sleeping in his crib upstairs since Sunday, June 26th. He has done amazing and is not waking until around 6:30 or 7:30 am. Thank Goodness! Bennett is in the stage now where afternoon naps are a little struggle. Arrington went through this as well, and I know it too will pass. I just have to keep on working with him!
We had Bennett's 2 month checkup on June 20th. He weighed 11 lbs. 10 oz. and the doctor said he is gaining weight like a champ! He gained 4 lbs. 10 oz. in 6 weeks! Dr. S. calculated that he is stacking on about 1.5 oz a day... she estimated about 85 oz that he has put on so far! He loves him some Mommy milk! Bennett went from the 25th % at his 2 week appointment to the 50th % at his two month checkup! Bennett did great with his shots and just cried for a second... I hate those stinkin' shots. All in all he is one healthy and thriving baby boy!
