At 4.5 months
Weight 15lbs. 14 oz.
Height 25 1/2 in.
He is smiling and jabbering constantly. Pretty sure he is the happiest and sweetest baby I have ever seen in my life. Sure he has his moments but typically only when he is hungry or tired, or if Ethan has bitten him somewhere, and I'd be mad too.
He has been sleeping through the night since 2 months old, and when I say sleeping through the night I mean 10-12 hours EVERY night. Ben, you spoil me rotten!
He is a super-spitter...potentially worse than Ethan was, but more pleasant while spitting
He rolls over like crazy, tummy to back, so much that at night recently he has started rolling over and getting stuck on his back and waking up because he hates being on his back...yes I'm the mom who lets her babies sleep on their tummy, and darn it they are GREAT sleepers! Don't judge.....
He lets Ethan maul him frequently and only gets distressed when bodily harm is inflicted (which I try to minimize)
Amazingly enough he loves his brother...when Ben wakes up in the morning Ethan is usually already awake and loves being put in Ben's crib with him...where he proceeds to kiss Ben repeatedly and invade his bubble severely, but typically Ben just smiles and smiles. He is totally a morning baby, so so happy when he wakes up!
He is a SERIOUS thumb sucker...I was convinced you could get a child to take a pacifier instead of their thumb, but when they suck their thumb enough in their sleep at night, it becomes such a habit, and in all honesty, right now it doesn't bother me because he is such an amazing self soother, and we don't have to worry about losing a binki every time we are in public.
Has been eating rice cereal for a couple of weeks now, and to my surprise actually likes it...he was all over it the first time we gave it to him!
He is an amazing baby, so happy and so perfect in every way. He is so much fun and adds so much to our lives already! We love you Baby Ben!
