the above average baby

Yesterday was Benjamin's birthday. For those of you that haven't been keeping track, he is two months old. Today we took him to the doctor, and they told us that his height and weight put him in the 90th percentile. That means that he is bigger than 90 percent of all babies. In other words, he's ginormous. His head, however, is just average. Hopefully he won't have a tiny pinhead like his mommy (which she cleverly disguises by making her hair bigger). Benjamin got first round of shots today. I tried to distract him with a fuzzy koala rattle, but he ignored it once the needle went in. His face went red and he scrunched his eyes closed and he held his breath and made a silent cry. My poor baby.

On another note, I'm sorry that I haven't posted more frequently. There is a reason for that: I have a baby, and he doesn't enjoy sleeping. As of two days ago, Benjamin has been sleeping slightly better. The problem is, he will only sleep in his carseat or on Ryan, my or pretty much anyone else's chest. So, for now, his carseat it is.

That kid belongs in the movies. What a face. Oh the beauty of it all.
Auntie Laur Laur gives a big kiss to Benny and his proud parents. Watch out, she just might sing Benny the Christmas tree the next time she sees him. They'll have to do it as a duet though.
