Benjamin Harner: 1 month

Weight:  Ben was born at 8 pounds 6 ounces, which is exactly what Wes weighed. Hes at around 10 pounds now, based on our bathroom scale, haha! He is SO tall though, coming in at the 9th percentile at his 2 week checkup, so he's following in big brothers footsteps! 

Clothes: 0-3 months for any of his onesies! Hes too tall for his newborn footed pj's, they only fit him comfortably for a couple of weeks, though I may have squeezed him in them a bit longer than that. He can fit in newborn none footed onesies, but they fit like a glove, any day now I'm not going to have any luck fitting him into them!

Likes: watching Penny and Wes play! They are so sweet with him, they love to include him in what they're doing. Lately this has been building their magnet tiles in front of Ben so he can watch. Whatever they're building (a castle or a carwash usually!) they always build a third one for Ben, and set it next to him, or even on him, haha.

Dislikes: He really is such a happy baby overall! He struggled with pretty painful gas at first (we initially thought it was acid reflux, and was on medicine for about a week for that before we realized it wasn't helping). 

Social: He loves being where we are, he's happy to be on his little green pillow or in his rock n' play as long as he's in the same room as us. He loves watching what we're doing, watching what big brother/sister are up to, etc. He smiles at Penny so much when she tries to get one out of him! 

Milestones: I mentioned it in the last one, but smiling! He has smiled the earliest, by far, at just 3 weeks. At first we couldn't tell if it was intentional or not, but sure enough, it was 100% intentional. He thinks its funny when we tickle his lips and make a high pitched noise to go with it. He smiles just so big, we love it. He is sleeping really well too, waking up just 3 times a night, at the same times each night. He already had his first little cold, it was so pitiful and sad! He has also mastered holding his head up, he (along with is siblings) is SO strong! 



(I never did a 1 month update for Penny!)
