Dear Benny,
Well, Boo Boo another month has gone by already. You are 3 months old! I just can't believe it. I can't remember what it was like before you were here and there's no reason to. You have blessed our family with your sweetness.
I just love you sooo much.
3 months old, June 14, 2011
You are wearing size 2 diapers and size 3 months clothes. We now make you 6 oz. bottles because you are just so hungry! You go to bed every night around 9:00pm and usually wake up between 7:00 and 7:30am. You are a great sleeper and just like your sister you LOVE your crib! Your wakefulness has been increasing to about 2 - 2 1/2 hours before you're back to napping.
You had a slight case of colic and once you turned 3 months old it has started to get better. You are way more willing to lay on the floor and talk and you'll even sit in the bouncy seat for longer periods of time without crying. You're getting to be such a big boy!

You always have your hands in your mouth. You don't like pacifiers, you prefer to just use your fingers. Once you find them...it isn't usually very long until you're fast asleep. You'll be much more content once the infant jerky movements stop and your arms do what you want!
You love to look around and watch what is going on, McKenna is especially fun for you to watch and so is Trippy! You also like to watch TV. Just like your Daddy, you get glued pretty quickly when baseball is on (which is quite often!) You liked watching the Bulls games too. There's just so much movement!
Best Friends (Benny, 3 months - McKenna, 14 months)
Your sister loves you so much. She is always giving you kisses. Anytime you are crying she will try to find something to help you out. She'll often get your bottle for you or even try to give you a binkie!
This month you went swimming for the first time! We went to our neighborhood pool and Aunt Krissy came with us. You loved sitting in the baby pool, just relaxing.

Kenna didn't splash you...too much!
You are a Mommy's boy. You love to snuggle with me and sometimes things aren't quite right for you until you are with me. You smile big and look around for me when you hear my voice. You sure are my sweet boy.
You respond to us talking to you with coos and big smiles. You love to "play" with your ball. You seem to really like it when you have a blanket (or burp cloth!) on your lap, you like to pull it up to the side of your face and hold it and snuggle it. We think that you'll have a favorite blankie in no time!
You had your first cold this month. You've had a runny nose and have been pretty congested. There's not much I can do to help you and the last thing you want me to do is wipe your nose :)
Thank you for everything you have brought to my life in the past 3 months. I am so proud to be your Mommy.
Just know you are the most perfect little boy in the whole world.
I love you sweet boy.
Love, Mommy
