y special times with my little Benson. He is becoming so much more aware and so expressive! I used to have to work to get a smile out of him and now he gives them out just for looking at him. Benson has been trying so hard to get his thumb. He will try for hours but he keeps it tucked in like he is doing the letter "T" in sign language. Another big even was the night that Benson slept through the night. When my alarm woke me up, I ran in to his room and immediately touched his face to make sure he
was still alive. I totally startled him and he gave me a dirty look like "geez mom, give me a break!" His spitting is getting better with the medicine that the doctor gave him. This comes as a major relief to Mitch. Although, last night the unthinkable happened, Benson spit up on his biking clothes. Mitch stated "I'm done with it (the spitting up)" handed the baby over to me and immediately went to wash his biking gear. It's funny to me that it stil
l freaks him out so much, but I know that he's only been spit up on a handful of times, not hundreds of times. How grateful I am for my awesome little family. Mitch couldn't be more wonderful! He is patient with me and my drained, grouchy self. He motivates me to be better and compliments me on my progress in my new mothering skills. He is much more than I give him credit for and I want the world to know that I know he is more than I deserve! (Just don't get any ideas, I'm still keeping him even if I don't deserve him!) Thank you Mitch!

Benson is such a cute little guy! I love seeing Mitch as a Dad. I've always wondered how he would handle it, He really is doing great. You are doing a fabulous job yourself. Benson is so lucky to have the two of you as parents.
Logan was the worst with the spitting up. It was constant. He was on Prevacid, Zantac and Reglan for quite some time. Good thing is that they usually just grow out of it. I have to say I don't miss having spit up on me all the time. However, breastmilk spit up doesn't nearly have the stench that real milk has later. Hope Mitch will learn his lesson on wearing his biking clothes and holding Benson. Anywho....glad you are getting a break. He is seriously so adorable. We all need to get together will all our kidlets now.
I can't believe how big Benson is already! Nick still talks about how cute he is. He visited his grandparents in St. George and had to show them your blog so they could see how cute he is too! I'm glad you've had Spring Break to recoop. Hang in there... The school year is almost over!
Oh Amy I remember running to my childrens crib to make sure they were still alive when I didn't hear a peep out of them all night! You never worry about anything like you do your children...
