It's going to be a long week

My poor little man is fighting a cold. At 6 weeks it breaks my heart when he coughs and sneezes and gags. Poor little man. He is getting extra cuddles and sleeping with us in our bed. - not ideal for us but it's the only way to catch some zzz's. If we put him in his bed he just keeps waking himself up with the nasty cold.

He's just so wonderful other then that. He has started to smile and giggle. We just love to talk to him to get him to smile at us. Now he is even smiling when I get him up in the morning. Melts my little heart!

We are still working on breast feeding. most.difficult.thing.ever! But he is gaining weight and doing well. He is only getting breast milk which is great! He's now 12lbs, 13oz! and 24 inch long! growing like a weed. it makes me sad that he out grew his jeans! we had to go get new ones.

anyway Ben is a joy to have and we are enjoying all the moments... even the nasty cold ones.
