Lots of stuff!

I haven't been very good at keeping on top of the blog lately, so here's an update on a variety of Ben happenings.

Sleep: The past two nights Ben has slept nine hours straight! From 7pm until 4am, feeds, then goes back down until 7am. I see nightwakings coming to an end eventually.

2 month shots: Ben also had his shots last Friday. We both did really well. Poor Ben had a meltdown and was fairly inconsolable for about, what seemed like, ten minutes. He didn't sleep particularly well that afternoon or night despite the dose of Tylenol he received.

Chatting: Ben has a lot to say these days. We have many conversations that go something like...

Ben: Oooh
Me: Oooh
Ben: Ah-goo
Me: Ah-goo
Ben: *gurgle*
Me: *gurgle*
Ben: Gooo
Me: Goo

You get the idea.

Gripping: Ben will hold onto a rattle and shake it around a bit. He has a pretty strong grip. Unfortunately he tends to his himself in the face a lot. ha ha... poor kid. Not only does he hit himself in the face, but his mummy laughs at him.

Smiling: The smiles continue and he's starting to smile spontaneously now. There's nothing better in the world than going into Ben's room in the morning and getting a big grin from him.

Napping: Ben's not a big fan of napping. He has a difficult time winding down from activities. We're working on his naps. For some reason, however, he naps well at Andi and Vinny's place. Every time we're over he goes down for a nap in minutes. Go figure.

And that's about all I can think of for now! Ben thanks you for reading. :)
