Ben: Two Months

Our little Ben is two months old already!  Time goes fast enough, but the addition of the holidays seems to be making his first months go even more quickly.  Natalie could not possibly love her ittle brother any more.  She wants to help with everything: holding him, feeding him, changing him.  It's sweet, but I have to say, not all that helpful just yet!

If we could just figure out how to get both of them sleeping at once, we'd really be in business.  I can recall being tired when Nat was a newborn/infant, but there was just one weird sleep schedule to deal with.  She continues to be an odd sleeper, and Ben is no better himself.  Despite my best efforts, we have not gotten either of them to sleep through the night since Ben's arrival.

In an effort to make things less hectic we doubled up well-checks at the doctor.  Nat will be due for her 2-year check and Ben for his 2-month check.  Since Nat was already on an immunization scheduled, it ended up pushing Ben's visit back several weeks.  Out of curiosity, I got on the scale with our boy....he weighs 14.4 lbs already!  Needless to say, he's having no problems in the eating department.  (By comparison, Nat weighed 12 lbs 6 oz at her two month visit.  Granted, she was smaller than him at birth, and I guess they say girls are smaller by comparison anyway.)

Here's Ben...then and now:
