Bennett is now 13 lbs. 12 oz. and 23 3/4" long. He is now on the normal growth chart. He had been on the preemie growth chart. We had his thyroid retested and as expected it came back normal.
Bennett recognizes his name. If you call him, he will turn to look at you. He is also able to grab and hold onto things. It is so neat to see each milestone he reaches. He will sleep through the night for a while and then go back to getting up around 4 or 5. We are thankful that he is a good sleeper. I got Bennett a few new toys at the consignment sale. He enjoys the playing the piano and listening to the animal sounds. Bennett loves to talk. He will carry on talking, cooing, and laughing. We have started teaching him sign language. Currently, we are signing milk, change diaper, all done, and play. He usually fusses when you go to change his diaper, but when I show him the sign he calms down. It is amazing that it seems he understands.
Bennett went to his first MSU game. MSU played UAB in Birmingham, so it was a convenient game to take him to. He was so good. He ate, watched everything, and slept. He got his first picture with Bully. We also had a great time at Parker's Rock Star birthday party. Kevin played the guitar for Parker's party.
We went through Family Dedication. Kevin and I committed to raise Bennett in the church so that he may one day know what Jesus did for him. We have given Bennett to God. It is hard to say that when you have prayed and waited for him for so long. But, there is no better place for him to be than God's hands. We were so happy that Bennett's grandparents, aunt, uncle, nephews, and close friends were there with us.
Below are some pictures of this past month.
