4 Weeks & 1 Day Old

Benjamin is a growing boy. 14 days ago he weighed in at 7lbs 6oz. Today at the doctor's office he weighed at 8lbs 10oz and was 21 3/4inches long. The doctor said he has made a ton of progress and is now very healthy!!! He was a little behind before and now his momma makes him eat a ton and he has more than surpassed their expectations. Yeah for Benjamin!!!!! He is just as beautiful and good as ever. He slept for 5 whole hours last night between feedings. However, he did wake up very unhappy and demanded to be fed immediately. Mommy kept trying to tell him it wasn't time to eat yet and then realized that we really had slept for 5 hours. Benjamin is getting a pretty good idea of how his hands work now.. The past couple of times I have bathed him, he reaches back and grabs a hand full of his hair and yes.. he PULLS it. Funny thing is - he screams like I am hurting him when in fact he is doing it to himself. I just have to laugh and tell him to stop.. What can you do, he really thinks its me. And how about the volume in that hair? It's crazy!
