Benton's first month has flown by, even more quickly than Haisley's. I took Benton to the doctor yesterday and he was a champ. I actually took him because he has been spitting up pretty bad. Since we were a day early from his one month birthday, I have to go back for his shots next week. Our sweet angel had the following stats:
Weight: 9 lbs, 2 oz ~25 %
Length: 21 inches ~25%
Weight for Length: ~50%
Head Circumference: 14.5 inches ~25%
He is definately bigger than Haisley! He has been in size 1 diapers since we got home from the hospital. He is mainly in newborn and 0-3 month clothes. Sleeping at night has been quit interesting. I swore I would be putting him in the crib from day one, but it is so much easier for him to be in our room since I am nursing him. I have noticed a trend with him wanting to take an afternoon nap about the same time that Haisley does everyday. Cue the Hallelujah chorus!!! Such a blessing! Plus, the last two days, he has taken that nap swaddled in his crib, and slept in his crib at night!! He eats every 3 hours. I am not nearly as bad of a schedule nazi like I was with Haisley. With Haisley, I did not allow her to eat a minute before or after three hours. With Benton, I will go ahead and feed him if he is screaming at 2.5 hours, and let him continue sleeping beyond the three hour mark.
Benton has definately had a more eventful month than Haisley did. Breastfeeding is going very good, so I feel comfortable leaving the house (minus the pumpkin patch debacle). We are adjusting to having two little ones, and Haisley continues to be a great big sister. She is always ready to give a paci, give hugs and kisses, and is usually pretty gentle with the little guy. You are very loved, sweet Benton! We can't remember our lives before you!
Our little Auburn elf.
