Tears, Smiles and Tummy Time


Well the Benson family made yet another trip to the doctor's office. When we woke up on Thursday I noticed that Hunter's right eye was looking red and puffy and it was a little goopy. The doctor said it was a clogged tear duct that was infected. He gave us drops to use and showed us how to help unclog the duct. While we were there they weighed our ever-growing boy and he's now 11lbs 2oz! I'm fairly certain he's going to out grow his 0-3 month clothes before time, which is sad for his Halloween costume. ;) And to let you all know Hunter's head is getting a lot better and the doctor said he is going to be a healthy boy, no more worrying about it. We will continue to make sure we are giving an even amount of time to both sides though.


Hunter has also been improving on his tummy time skills. He can now hold his head up for short amounts of time. He continues to laugh and giggle but now it's more social. We can tell when he's smiling at mommy or daddy. Hunter continues to use his vocal cords, oooing and ahhhing but also using more vowel sounds. Our favorite is when he fake cries, a short little whah, very cute! I almost forgot to post the most exciting thing to happen in our little family since Hunter was born... he slept through the night!!! I couldn't have been more please when this happened. The poor little guy was so exhausted that he slept almost 11 hours and I had to wake him up to feed him and he didn't even open an eye while this was happening! Now he sleeps in 5-6 hour increments through the night! YAY and praise the Lord! He still has a little trouble with naptime but we'll get there! :)
