Routine?

What does that mean??? We are desperately trying to implement a routine since daddy is going back to work next Monday.. but that just does not seem possible! It just depends on what mood Bennett is in - typically he is wide awake from anywhere between 2:00-5:00am. I'm not giving up just yet! :) He gets a sponge bath every other night, and seems to cry the most when it is time to dry him off - during the bath itself he is okay! We are convinced our baby is a genius. Day 1 he grabbed his paci and put it in his mouth by himself. Adam and I looked at each other in disbelief. By day 2 he was already picking his head up up by himself and trying to look around!

We are trying to get used to sleep deprivation... LOL Adam jumped out of bed the other day and yelled "DID HE JUST SAY MILK?!?!" I asked him.. umm did who just say milk? He said BENNETT!!! lol I reassured him Bennett did not say milk and he fell back asleep. I put my hair brush in the kitchen drawer, febreeze in the kitchen pantry, and he put canned tomato sauce and a bag of rice in the fridge. We are going a little crazy over in the Painter house hold.

Baby boy was up at 6:30 in a grouchy mood this morning (I'm convinced he knows he has a doctors appointment today hehe) but he is past out in his swing now with a clean diaper and a full tummy. I am so anxious to find out his weight!!

Here are some updated pictures of our little man

His morning layout session - bye bye jaundice!!

Aunt Krys and Uncle Christopher getting some loving in. (They are next after their December wedding this year!!!)

Mommy and baby :) Bennett has discovered my long hair so pony tails every day it is!

Sleepy head

We already weny through 96 diapers in less than a week so daddy made a run to Babies R Us and came home with this play mat for baby B! He thinks it makes a good nap time mat ;)

One of the many faces of Bennett - this was yesterday morning looking out the window

I also meant to post something last week - Congratulations to Amanda and Matthew on the arrival of baby Carter Ryan!! (Small world - we were getting discharged from hospital and Adam ran into Matthew at labor and delivery - she had Carter the day after me and we were both in the same hospital!) She had a less than pleasant pregnancy and labor so we are all so happy that baby Carter is perfectly healthy and so is mama!!

Here's to Carter and Bennett becoming great friends just like their daddy's and tons of future play dates!
