Bentley is 5 weeks old

Today Bentley is 5 weeks old. I cannot believe how fast that went by. I start back to work next week. I am kind of sad to leave her, even though I will only be working two days a week, it's still probably going to be hard to be away from her all day. My mom is going to watch her for us, so at least we don't have to worry about taking her to some random daycare! She is a good baby and we love her so much! She finally figured out the breastfeeding thing after 4 weeks of trying, so no more pumping every 2 hours for me, yeah!!! Last night we decided to put her in her crib in her own room. We put her down at 9 and figured she'd cry for awhile, but she was just in there cooing away and put her self to sleep. I had to keep going in and checking on her to make sure she was okay. She usually wakes up a couple times in the night, which is way better than what it used to be.







She only likes this huge binki from the hospital. I want her to take the cute bling ones I have, but she just likes this one I guess...







So me and my sister, Melissa decided to play dress up with Bentley and take some pictures. She wasn't too happy with us and she wanted that tutu off!
Bentley on Valentines Day. We didn't really do anything special that day. We just hung out and watched a movie!


Bentley loves her bathtime as long as you keep her warm. I am so glad she is so good when we give her a bath, it makes it so much easier.

(Josh's mom)
Our families have been so sweet to help us out the past couple weeks. My mom stayed with us for a few days after we got home from the hospital and Josh's mom came from Colorado to help us for about a week. It was so nice to have them help out with meals and to take turns at night with the baby. We love and appreciate them so much...

My sister Cami was so sweet and stayed one night to help us with the baby.


My sister Melissa has come out to my house a couple times to help with Bentley while I took a nap,cleaned my house and got ready. It was s nice, it's amazing how much longer everything takes with a baby. She says she will babysit whenever I need her to. I hope that doesn't wear off....





We went last week for Bentley's 2 week dr appointment. She gained a pound since we left the hospital and grew an inch. She was 6lbs 13 in when we left and was 7lbs 13 at the Dr's. They said she's in the 30 percentile. I m not exactly sure what that means, they said she's pretty petite, but perfectly healthy. I really hated watching them prick her little foot. It made me sad to see her in pain. I will have a hard time when it's time for shots. She's doing really good, she loves to take baths and she's sleeping pretty good. She usually only wakes up twice in the night to eat. We sure love her!

Pics of Bentley


I had to put this picture on here! I think it's adorable. My dad loves babies, my family all fights over who gets to hold Bentley next especially my sister Melissa, it's really cute!

She loves to have her hands up by her face.


She is so good when we put her on her changing pad to change her diaper. She just looks all around the room and is so happy.
