Happy 3 Months, Bennett!

At three months, you:

- weigh about 13-13.5 lbs, I think. 

- take 4 oz of formula every 3 hours. You will go 4-5 hours at night between feedings. 

- have been eating a little cereal at night before bed. It definitely helps you sleep a little longer before you're ready to eat again. 

- celebrated your third holiday - Christmas

- have made some strides in the sleeping department. We bought an Ergo swaddler. You hated it the first few nights. Mama perservered, and now you're sleeping beside me instead of on top of me. Those are big strides. Just ask me! 

- will still not lay down to sleep. We try every night. The longest you've made it is about 45 minutes to an hour. You have fallen asleep in the new swing we bought on sale at Target. Best $20 we've spent so far - beside the Ergo swaddler! 

- are still taking your Prilosec and gas drops. We skipped the Prilosec and didn't do the gas drops diligently for about 3 days. We quickly got them filled and started again. You are, however, much less colicky!

- have the prettiest blue eyes, still. I've got to try to get a good picture of them.

- You love for us to sit and talk to you. You just "talk" back. It's the sweetest thing ever. You give us the biggest grins, which of course makes us so happy. 

- love the dog that Nana and Papa gave you for Christmas. It sings and talks and you will watch it for as long as we'll keep pressing it. 

- love your big sister. And she thinks you're the sweetest, softest, best thing ever. 

We love you so much, our sweet Bennett. We're so glad God you to us.
