Porter Benjamin
I can't believe how quickly the last eight weeks have flown by. At the same time I can't remember life without him as a part of our family. He has fit in so perfectly and the four older babes absolutely adore him. He will never be short on kisses, cuddles, or love. He sleeps 6-7 hours at night with nights where he wakes up every 2-3 hours sprinkled in there. He loves to be cuddled but he's also so good at sleeping in his crib. He's wearing size 0-3 months now, I actulally just put away all of his newborn clothes and I'd be lying if I said that it didn't make me really sad. He's a Mama's boy at the moment and is starting to respond to voices he recognizes. He knows Mama, Daddy, and all of his siblings and gives really big smiles when we talk to him. He hates his car seat but has started to get better at not crying the entire time he's in it. He's working on "talking", you can tell he wants to and occasionally will get a cute little coo noise out but he hasn't quite mastered it just yet. I love seeing his little personality come out as he's staying awake longer and becoming more alert but I'm also sad that he's growing so fast. I want to bottle up every second of his tiny-ness!
