A "Fountain" of Joy

Yesterday Benjamin was in three different outfits in half an hour's time. He is spitting up a lot more than he used to. I put him in the swing and he spit up in the tray (very convenient). I pick him up and he wants to stand and sit, stand and sit. This does a number on his stomach, so up comes his meal.

We have his 4 month check-up on Tuesday. I am sure he is close to 20 lbs by now. He is almost needing to wear his 6-9 month clothes, but I am holding out for as long as possible. He is in size 3 diapers. Speaking of diapers, yesterday the little angel peed right out of his diaper while I was burping him which resulted in an outfit change for the both of us.

He is doing much better holding his head up and getting objects to his mouth on the first try. He likes to naw on my fingers. I try to give him teether keys and he makes a funny face and spits them out. I guess skin tastes better to him.

Benjamin has started wanting to eat every three hours instead of four and has started waking up at 6:00 a.m. (which I am not so happy about). Benjamin may need to eat some cereal in addition to nursing, we shall see. Since he is getting up at 6:00 a.m. I am taking a nap when he does around 8:30. I don't understand how a person can be soooo sleepy.

Daddy is being helpful: he was willing to take on a stinky diaper and change Benjamin's clothes last night. Daddy likes to hold Benjamin when he can sit in his lap contentedly.

Today we went to the post office, pharmacy, library, bank, and gas station and made it back in a little over an hour! yeah!
