3 Month's {Benjamin}

Weight: 14lbs. 7ozs.
Height: 25in. (that's hopefully pretty accurate)

There was no Dr. appointment this month so I just took his measurements at home. We return for his 4 month check up in July which is when I believe we find out if he can start on solid foods. Yea!

This has been a big month for the little man, although not really little. On June14 Benjamin rolled over from his tummy to his back. It was so unexpected and exciting. He has also begun gripping onto objects like his rings, blankets, and small stuffed animals. He works really hard to get them in his hands.

He has officially moved into 3-6 month clothes and in pajamas is comfortably in 6 month ones. It is truly amazing to see how fast he is growing and changing. Speaking of something that is not changing is his eye's, they are still blue with a brown streak in his right eye. I hope they stay!!!

He still sleeps through the night, going down between 8-9PM and sleeping until 5:30-7AM when he wakes for a bottle. At this time he usually takes between 3-5 ounces and goes right back to sleep. Benjamin will take about 6 bottles a day at 5-6 ounces about 3 hours apart. His last bottles are at about 6PM where he will eat about 5 ounces and then at 8PM we top him off with between 3-5 ounces. He is a little eating machine.

In the last couple of weeks we have noticed that he is chewing on his hands much more frequently and his drooling has tripled. We are pretty sure that he has begun budding teeth. Every day or so I check to see if anything has broken the skin. Thankfully he has taken this pretty well, other then being a little crankier in the evening he is his happy little self.
