Four Months

Happy 4 month birthday,
Bentley Charles!

You, little man, are amazing. I admit, I didn't know what to do with you in the beginning because you screamed. A lot. And then some more!  You were nothing like your brother who was the easiest baby ever.  But sloooowly, sloooowly, we got on the same page. I felt like a new mom there for a while because you were so different than Jack. But, guess what?  I LOVE IT!  I love that I have two little guys who are so unique.  And I finally discovered the sweet spot for your last feeding... if I feed and put you down by 9pm, you will pretty regularly (except for last night, ironically, when you were up at 3:45am) sleep until 7:30am.  Like I said, you're amazing.  And know what else?  You smile so much during the day, I could not care less about the fits of screaming you still bless us with now and then.

How have you already gone from this:

To this?:


I am so lucky to be your mom and so happy that you came into our family.
And I love the fact that you and Jack already have some weird brother bond going on. You both just stare at each other with big goofy smiles.  You both light up around each other.  I know Jack is itching for the day you can get up and play with him.  And as much as I'm looking forward to that too, I'm so gonna miss this cuddly baby right here.
Right now you are sitting on my lap watching me type and as usual, you are holding my arm with your tiny little hand. 
 I hope I remember how this feels forever. 



And one more thing... am I wrong?  Or are you working on your droopy dog impersonation?


 I love you baby B.
