One Month Old

Bentley's one month old (well six weeks old now since I'm a little behind in posting, but who's keeping track?) and he's topping the charts. He weighs 11.5 lbs. and is 24 inches long. So yes if you're keeping track, he's gained about 3 1/2 pounds in one month, that's my boy. His weight is in the 90% and height is in the 85% making him perfectly proportionate.

Things I don't want to forget:
  • He's broken records on how much pee can come out of a human being. I can expect to change his diaper, clothes, and sheets about 2-3 times a night because he's peed through them ALL!
  • He smiles in his sleep every time he's done eating. I love watching that.
  • He's giggled, not just a "Ha" but actual giggling, in his sleep twice. What are you dreaming about?
  • He cries really hard when he's hungry and fusses a little when he wants held, other than that, he's a pretty easy to please baby.
  • He is a grunter while he sleeps, just like his Momma when I was a baby.
  • He's cured Mommy of her chocolate cravings since he gets very fussy and gassy when I eat chocolate, as well as dairy and beans... bummer.
  • He sleeps at night (THANKYOU!) for 4 hours, then is up for feedings every 3 hours afterwards. That is a heavenly compared to the nightmarish sleepers his sisters were.
  • He loves listening to his sister's voices whether they're singing to him or talking to him.
  • When Mommy enters the room, he follows my voice, yep, he's a Momma's boy :)
  • Daddy is the only one who can put him to sleep initially at night. Daddy secretly looks forward to that quiet one-on-one time with him.
All in all he's a happy handsome dude.




Okay Mom, enough pictures.
