SIX lbs!!!!

Today, on his 39th week"birthday," Bennett has broken the 6 lb mark! In fact, he gained a whopping 65 g today and is 6 lbs 1.6 oz! And look how much bigger than piglet he is now! If you didn't get to see him "in real life" when he was first born and SO incredibly tiny, its hard to appreciate how much this child has grown in the last 8.5 weeks. Its amazing!


The other big news of the day is that he got his feeding tube removed!!! He's now going on 48 hours of taking all of his feedings by mouth!!!!!!!!

He also got his two month vaccinations, which caused him to run a mild fever for a few hours that didn't make him too happy, but the fever is gone now. Poor bugger is being circumcised in the morning too!

Its difficult to see in this pic b/c its fuzzy, but I think Bennett looks a lot like Carter now that his feeding tube is gone!! Sadly, I haven't seen his face without something on it since the moments after his birth!! I can't wait to take that cannula off and see my baby free and clear!


But there is more - Bennett passed his car seat test today!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!

He's just too darn tiny looking in that big seat!! He did great. Crossing my fingers, holding my breath, and praying praying praying that things continue on this trend.

HAPPY 4th of JULY everyone!!!!!!!!!!!
