My Benton boy is 6 months old. He is the sweetest, smiliest little thing you have ever seen. He has such a sweet demeanor to him and it melts my heart. We love that precious boy to the moon and back.
Some pictures of our precious boy:
Although he hasn't started food, he has sucked on a mango and a plum. That boy loves to eat!!
Sweet angel...getting ready for Presley's party.
If this isn't Mark Burnette, I don't know who is. Don't worry baby, we're gonna work on your part.
JJ always comes bearing gifts. Easter is no exception. She brought our babies their Easter baskets a week early so they could start enjoying them!
Playing at the farm. We always have such fun with Nana and Granddaddy.
These two are looking identical these days!
An update on that love bug...
Sleeping-We are still not on a schedule, but I can definately see us moving that way. In a perfect world, he would be taking a morning and afternoon nap. Since we live in the real world, he normally fusses in the morning because we are running here and there and he doesn't get a quality nap. He does, however, normally take a good 2 hour nap in the afternoons when Haisley Grace is also sleeping.
We are putting him in the bed awake, and letting him cry himself to sleep. We normally just have to go put the paci back in his mouth once or twice and he is good to go. He normally goes to sleep by about 6:30. On a good night, he will only wake once (between 2-5) to eat, then go back to sleep until about 6 a.m. Now that he is rolling over really good, he prefers sleeping on his belly.
Eating-With the exception of nawing on a mango, Benton has not had any solids. He still is nursing every 3 hours during the day. I really don't know how much he is getting. He will NOT take a bottle. That is a major difference between him and Haisley. I have a feeling that we will skip straight to a sippy cup. We have our doctor's appointment next week, and I am sure that he will tell us to try to move to eating 4 times a day rather than every three hours.
Tricks-Benton has been rolling over a lot more these days. He is starting to enjoy his jumparoo more. He can stand at his little table for longer periods of time. He really isn't sitting up by himself for longer than a few seconds at a time. He loves eating his toes! He loves reaching for things. Our sweet baby is a real cuddlebug!!
