Two Months Ago...


Benjamin has been in this world exactly two months yesterday! Look how long he is! We cannot wait till his next pediatrician appointment to find out how "tall" he is.


This week Benjamin went to his first Astro's game and got his first Astro's ball cap. He was great and seemed to really enjoy the lights and sights. Frank's company had a suite so he was away from the big crowds and the noise level was a little more controlled. Of course, we forgot our camera for his first ball game so no photos.

I went to work for four hours last week (I am working temporarily for a few hours for my boss until he finds my replacement) and he stayed with Grandma Guerrero. She seems to watch a different child than the one I have. He gives her no grief when it comes to sleeping in the crib.

New things Benjamin did the past week - he is very social now and responds to facial expressions. He holds his head up very well now - pretty soon he will no longer need assistance with his neck. He is a very curious little boy and likes to stare.


He likes to be held - so if any of you want to hold him - he is ready and willing. Oh, and his diaper changes are getting more - hmm...intense. So, if anyone wants to change his dirty diapers - feel free to offer. ;) His wacky "mohawk", "fauxhawk", troll hair has started to flatten in the front - it still sticks up in the back but the weight of his hair seems to be flattening it. His hair is still super cute and full.


Frank and I often wonder if he is going to be left-handed (like his father) and we wonder what color his eyes will eventually become. As of late, they range from a steel blue color to a light gray.

Every day it is obvious that he is growing - he is growing so fast. Pretty soon he will be taller than me - (being that he was born close to being 2 feet tall). He seems to be growing long instead of out...although his little stomach is nice and round like a buddha belly.
He looks more and more like Frank every day, too. Till next week.
