Growing, Growing, Growing

Its really amazing how fast babies grow.  At his four week check up, Ben already put on about a pound and a half (he was up to 9 pounds 13 ounces) and grew almost another two inches.  At six weeks now, he's definitely feeling even heavier.   I'm sure he's over 10 pounds.  He's outgrown most of his newborn clothes already too and he's into a few 3-6 month sized clothes already.  He's obviously in a bit of a growth spurt too because since about two weeks ago he's tripled his formula intake to about 6 ounces every 2-3 hours.   So far I haven't posted any current pictures of Ben, so here is a more recent one.  He's starting to see a little better now and interact with us too.  He's got a great smile!!

He's a very alert little guy too....  when he's awake.  He's still sleeping quite a bit, but when he's awake he loves to just look all around and stare at us and his little toys...

He doesn't even look like 6 week old infant, does he!
