I am overwhelmed with emotions of this precious baby! He is so good, I can hardly believe it sometimes.

He is practically sleeping through the night already!  He is on a really good schedule overall, we’re still working on making sure he doesn’t need to be “held” to fall asleep, though I absolutely LOVE rocking him to sleep and holding him!

And he is becoming SO animated and Expressive!  I absolutely love the smiles he’s been giving me.  He’ll sit on my lap,  and just stare at me now…and he’ll smile at faces and noises too.

Sean and I are just starting to work on baby sign language with him and it’s so much fun!  (I mean he isn’t fully aware of what’s going on yet, but…)  I’m really praying that will help later on too.  I’m so excited to work on training him and teaching him more about Jesus.  That’s mine favorite sign to work on with Ben too, (Thank-you Jesus).  I’ve also been playing Bible verse songs for him too during the day.  I don’t want to be a “pushy” training Mother, but I really want to start as early as possible for the habit of it if nothing else!

I’m so thankful for Sean because he really wants to work on the same areas I do.  We know we are going to be far from perfect parents, but we are so thankful to God for some eye opening experiences that have allowed us to research and talk about situations and pray for wisdom and discernment in making choices in parenting for Ben.

Ben is starting to get very used to having to have his binky to go to sleep, which really isn’t what Sean and I want to have happen, so it’s a hard choice as to if we just let him cry a little bit and settle himself, or to just give it to him when he crys.
