Ben is 4 months old!

Happy 4 months Ben! This sweet boy lights up our life everyday, and we feel like his personality is really starting to show this past month. As soon as he sees us, he gets the biggest smile, and he coos and laughs a lot.  He even greets me with a big smile in the middle of the night when he wakes me to eat. He is a very happy baby! 
Ben holds onto rattles and blankets really well, he likes to suck on his hands, and he enjoys being on his tummy. He likes to sit in the high chair or on the couch, for a change of scenery, and he loves bathtime with Caleb. When Caleb is close by, Ben's eyes are locked on him, and we know that he is going to look up to his big brother.
Ben is a solid boy and growing fast! He is in 6 month clothes and size 3 diapers.  We take him to the doctor next week for his 4 month checkup, but we think he weighs close to 16lbs already. He sleeps 6-7 hour stretches at night, takes 3-4 naps a day. He eats every 3-4 hours during the day, and nurses usually one time a night.
I never knew the love I could have for a child, until we had our boys. It's the most amazing feeling in the world, and I am thankful for our sweet boys everyday. Happy 4 months Ben, we love you!

Not to compare because we know all children are unique, and these two boys could not be any more different! Just for fun here is Caleb at 4 months old .
