i know.. i went a little overboard on pictures. as usual. i couldn't pick just one though! our sweet little boy benjamin is 3 months old today! i can't believe it! here are some little updates:

> weighs 12 lbs 2 oz according to our bathroom scale
> still in some newborn clothes but also in some 0-3 month size
> now on gerber good start gentle formula. it digests quicker so he keeps more down!
> still on prevacid. we hardly use that zantac anymore. although i think he still needs it too. oh well.
> smiles, coos, fake laughs, (more like a cough) all the time. it is so stinkin cute!
> drinks about 4 oz every 3 hours in the day.
> goes to bed at about 9 and will wake up anytime in between 2:30-6:30. it is pretty inconsistent haha. it seems like most of the time he will sleep until 4 or so though, eat 5 oz and go back to bed for a couple more hours. a few times he has slept straight until 6:30 and it has been sweet.
> takes about 3 or 4 naps a day. usually about 1 and a half hours each.
> loves to go outside
> is obsessed with this little stuffed elephant.
> laughs when moses licks his face
> loves his swing and laying on his back.
> still pukes a lot but he is happy so that's all that matters.
> sleeps in his own room in his crib! wahoo!
> gets so excited when he sees pictures of himself and of his daddy
> loves looking at himself in the mirror.
> has come to work with mom a few times! he did so good.
> still has most of his hair but has a bald spot on that back now from his crib
> loves sucking on his hands
> drools all over
> hates tummy time. he rolled over a few times when he was only a few weeks old but now just lays there like it's the end of the world.
> in size 1-2 diapers
> has such long eyelashes and i think his eyes are either going to be green or dark brown. still hard to tell.


we just love our little guy. he has been so fun this past month!

It's amazing how much he has changed in just a month! I hope you never feel like you are a bad mother for giving your baby formula or doing what you feel is best for your baby. Different things work for different people. Personally, I'm not a huge fan or breastfeeding. I don't have good milk and it's more hassle than its worth. It's ok to get advice but in the end, it's your baby... Do what you want! He is seriously perfect and I'm so happy for you guys!
