week 4 and 5

These couple of weeks were eventful for Bennett. He got his first bath which he really didn't mind. I couldn't believe how cooperative he was. The hardest part was honestly to get the water temperature right. The duck that we bought was very helpful. I was surprised how the water was not very hot at all. I guess his baby skin is a lot more sensitive than my used and abused adult skin.

He also drank his first bottle this week. He did really well. He drank it really fast though and was really gassy afterwards. That is normal with bottle fed babies. They gulp up a lot of air. It is sad because we have to stop feeding him to burp him more often. He gets really uncomfortable. We will be bottle feeding only when it's unavoidable. This past weekend being the perfect example. We went to a baby shower in Connecticut. It was for my friend Kristen whomis expecting her first at the end of March. We couldn't miss it. Bennett took his first really long trip in the car. It took about an hour. We are lucky to have such a good little boy. He was good for daddy when he bottle fed him during the shower and he slept on the ride there and back.

Daddy loves to help take care of the baby. He picks him the cutest outfits. Although this one lasted all of 5 minutes before Bennett spit up all over it. Too bad because that color really brought out his eyes.

The mark on his forehead is from dermatitis. The pediatrician said it happens with a lot of babies and it should go away soon. It was really weird going to the doctor's office alone this week as well. Bennett and I were a few minutes late. Bennett did so well though. He didn't cry and was very good about letting the doctor examine him. He is now 9lbs. 1oz. and 22 inches long. He is growing well. He is still wearing his newborn clothing though.
