So, our first road trip us in the books. Bennett is just shy of three months and did great! We attended a wedding in Columbus, GA and brought the grandparents to watch him while we attended all the festivities!
I am happy to report, his eating and feeding schedule are still the same after our three nIght and four day adventure. He was very happy to spend sometime with Popi and Nana! They were troopers as we dove in and out of the room in between parties. Bennett spent his first night with someone besides us-we were just next door, but he did great.
Next up his week is daycare. Not looking forward to leaving him,but it is a necessary step. We are doing a half day Tuesday and a full day on Wednesday. Hopefully I get my big cry out on Tuesday and Wednesday will not be as bad. Keep you posted.

First Road Trip
So, we are embarking on our first road trip with B at the end of May. We have a wedding in Georgia and will be gone for three nights. Luckily we are blessed with lots of grandparents and one set has agreed to come with us so we can attend the wedding.
I am a bit nervous for our first night away from home and first long road trip-all you moms gimme some tips on your first trip away so hopefully I can learn from your mistakes. A wise mom has already told me that they have stores in Georgia in case I forget anything, but any tips for a smooth trip would be appreciated.
Keep you posted on how it all goes.

Best sleep sack ever!!!!!!!!!!!
For all you moms out there looking for sleep sacks-look no more, visit Www.babydeedee.com and pick up the softest, warmest and easiest to get in and out of sack ever.
Bennett is not a fan of swaddling so these sacks are a lifesaver in getting him roasty toasty for naps and bedtime. Now I just need to find one in my size. I will use these as log as he will fit in them. They would also make a great gift!

Two month check up
So, B had his official two month check up today! The doc said he is thriving nicely, stats are:
Weight: 12 lbs 11 oz - 75th percentile
Height: 22 3/4 - 50th percentile
He had to get three shots and one oral vaccine today-so pitiful. He did great but has been a little fussy this afternoon. Hopefully he will sleep well tonight and feel better tomorrow. Let me know any tips for the next day if they still feel yucky.
All in all he is healthy and a little hefty. Announcements will be out soon, hopefully before he turns three months.

Bennett at two months!
So, here is what seems to be our very large baby at two months. He goes in for his official two month check up tomorrow, but he seems to be tipping our home scales at 12 pounds. We will get the official stats from the doctor and update everyone. In the meantime, he loves his Einstein playmat - thanks Grahams! He stares at himself forever in the mirror and loves to hit the toys overhead.
He is still working on sleeping - he tends to do great between 8-4am (this includes three feedings), but wants to wake up at 4:30am and play. Hoping this subsides, or gets later before I go back to work on the 1st of June. He is also very aware of his surroundings now, so he becomes upset if you relocate him without his consent. It's funny how quickly they change - I know all of you out there with older ones are thinking to yourselves, oh just you wait! He is great at tummy time - turns his head and pushes up. He also is doing some cooing and giving us some smiles. He tends to imitate other faces more than smiles, but the faces and noises are so cute!
We are still completely in awe of pretty much everything he does.
