Cute video of Ben in his new monstrosity (otherwise known as an exersaucer):
Nights have been great lately... Down at 8pm no problem, up at midnight and 4am (give or take an hour) to nurse. Sometimes he wakes up really early -- like 7am -- and is all ready to greet the day, but actually if I just nurse him, I can put him down on his rainforest playmat and he'll be content for up to an hour while I go back to bed for a bit. I guess his teeth are taking a little break. Still nothing showing on top! I can tell they bother him even though they're not out yet.
He's getting really good at grasping things, which of course he just puts in his mouth. Recently I started reading books to him, and he really loves that! I was reading to Sophie much earlier, for lack of anything better to do with her. I don't think it will make a difference, but it illustrates how important it will be for me to make sure Ben is getting the attention he deserves.
Here is Ben watching his sister's antics:
Ben loves SuperWhy! Something about that show really appeals to my kids. It's not just the fact that it's TV... Ben will sit there and watch the entire 25-minute show, grinning at the characters. Then as soon as the show ends, he starts fussing. I really think Sophie benefited a lot from SuperWhy!, so I don't mind letting Ben watch 2 episodes a day with his sister. It means I can have dinner ready when John gets home.
Here are some very cute photos of Ben from the past couple of weeks:
Next week should bring more updates. Ben's Grammy Sue bought him a crib, which I hope we can pick up this weekend -- that should make possible some cute nursery pictures (dresser to follow at some later date). He also has his 4-month appointment with the pediatrician next week, so I'll report on that as well.
