Some "firsts" for Ben:
- He is sleeping through the night. I use the term "sleeping" loosely because he no longer takes a bottle in the middle of the night but he does cry out once or twice. It's never long enough to make us get out of bed so in my book, that's sleeping through the night!
- His first smile was on December 27th. He has a sweet smile but you really have to work at it to get him to do it. Maybe he's going to be our serious child?!
- He saw his first snow...well actually his first two snows. We had a dusting a couple of weeks ago and then we had two snow days last Thursday and Friday. He slept through the snow play with his sisters!
- Ben had his first "play date" with his friends, Brooks and Brady Cariker (1 month old twins) and Mary Cate McCants (4 months). Brooks, Brady and Ben slept the entire time so Mary Cate was unimpressed with her play date buddies!
- Oh, and he seems to have his first cold. I'm not surprised though, the girls have been coughing and dealing with runny noses and Ryan is fighting a sore throat. He's acting fine but he has a case of the snorts so I think he's a bit stopped up. Nothing "Little Noses" and a nose bulb can't fix!
Ben is a good baby. He is very quiet and only cries when he's hungry, ready to get out of bed, or his sister(s) are in his business too much! I sometimes find myself looking in my rear view mirror of the car to make sure that I remembered to put him in!:) We love having Ben in our family and couldn't imagine it any other way. He is definitely a blessing!
Already a Jayhawk fan
First snow
Yes, the boys stayed in their car seats. Only
Mary Cate was awake to get out and play.
