We began today with a well visit to Dr. P's office and found out that the little man grew 3 inches and 2 pounds since his last appointment 2 month's ago. Wow, what a growth spurt. He was great as always while he was being examined and we found that he is now able to start on rice cereal 2 times a day. We have to start it out once part cereal to 4 parts momma's milk and once we get it to a thicker point we can then begin with fruits and vegetables. We can introduce a new one every 3-4 days. What a fun new journey this will be. He also had another round of vaccines 2 shots and one by mouth.

Benjamin has had a busy month perfecting his rolling over to get off his tummy but he doesn't do it much from his back to belly. Seeing that he would prefer not to be on his belly period! He is always trying to sit himself up, working out those abs, and is super close to being able to sit up by himself. He is very vocal, making lots of sounds, the M's are his favorite. He is also loving his toys and trying to put them in his mouth to chew on. I am still waiting to find teeth but I don't think it will be to much longer.

He went on his first trip to the Key's this past week and even though it was a little to warm for him to spend to much time outside he still got to enjoy the pool. I think he was quite content playing inside where it was cool. We can't wait to take him back when he is a bit older because like his big sister he is a little water baby.

His personality is really shinning, Benjamin is such an easy baby. He loves his sleep and food, only fussing if he is wet or hungry. He still sleeps for about 8-10 hour's at night and his nap schedule is becoming more prevalent with 2 naps in the morning and 2 in the evening. He also loves to be played with anything that makes him laugh.

He will return to the Dr. at 6 months for another well visit.
