The Painters: Better late than never..3 Months New!!

Last Friday was Bennett's 3 month birthday!! I seriously cannot believe how fast time is flying by!! Bennett changes every day! Lately, baby has been pretty fussy! We have resorted to several things to get him to stop crying - putting him in his carrier and turning the dryer on (seriously puts him to sleep in 2 seconds), walking him around the house in the stroller when it is too hot outside, carrying him around in his baby bjorn. Bennett LOVES being carried around the house. The second you sit down with him he starts screaming. Bennett was put on Enfamil Acid Reflux, but I think we are going to have to make a doctor's appointment and some medicine will be needed. The Enfamil AR worked great for the first month and a half, but baby boy cries soooo much now and spitting up has increased again :( It breaks my heart.

Sleep - Bennett slept 10 hours last night! 9:30pm - 7:30am, once again mama had to wake him up because I couldn't stand it any longer and knew he would be so hungry. His sleeping schedule seems to be a lot better now that he is in his own room. It also has helped mama and daddy with their sanity. He is now a supported sitter!!! If you hold his hands he will pull himself up with no problem! He loves playing now too. If you are holding him, he will even stand up on you! Ah, baby boy is so strong. He still hates tummy time more than anything. He loves bath time and diaper changes. My friend Amanda posted that they will change their baby's diaper even if he doesn't need a change because he stops crying - we do the EXACT same thing with Bennett!

He is such a big baby (like his mama and daddy was) I say he is probably 17lbs and probably 25.5" long. He can fit into Carter's 3 months (barely) but is mostly in 3-6 months now. We are in size 2 pamper swaddlers, but will be making the switch to size 3 this week. He loves waking up in the morning and has even found his laugh!! His laughs are few and far between (he will get one loud giggle out once a day, and it is a different laugh every day!)
