Six Months Old

Ben has had his first cereal, his first sippy cup, has his first tooth, first double ear infection, and now his first haircut. He's a cutie and very loveable. You should come hold him!

Toe Sucker!

Ben has found his toes!

First Cereal!

On Saturday, we fed Benjamin his very first rice cereal. He liked it, but was not super enthused about eating from a spoon. He did like chewing on the spoon! I can't believe that Ben is already more than 5 months old. Time really does fly by!

Five Months Old

Ben is five months old now! He can roll from front to back and over again. He scoots around on the floor and can nearly get in the crawl position, but he can't hold it for long. I find him sleeping on his tummy more often now - even thought he always starts out on his back.

Ben is a very vocal baby! He "talks" all the time. He laughs a lot too! He's very ticklish all over! We are having so much fun with him and everyone who sees him, holds him, hears him - well, they all just LOVE him!

He is so beautiful!

He chews on anything he can get to his mouth!
He yells at his toys!
He has an awesome smile!
Those eyes!! That drool!!

Cuter and Cuter!

I just feel so blessed to have this delicious child! Benjamin is delightful. He's very strong and loves his exersaucer. He's learning to push the buttons on it and he can turn all around in the seat. I can't lay him in his bed before he's asleep now because he immediately flips over to his tummy and can't get back over to his back. Fortunately, I love to hold him when he's sleepy and I don't think he minds so much either. :-) Oh that smile!!

Four Months Old

Benjamin is four months old now! He was at the Crown Plaza at Fort McGruder in Williamsburg for his birthday (he was created there last year :-)). Ben has the cutest squeal/squeak, and his laugh is really fun. I wish you could all see him! He loves to have floor time and can *almost* turn from the back to the front. He can roll front to back anytime! He still sucks his thumb, now he chews his fist and fingers too. I think he's teething. His dimple is so cute!!

Thumbs Up!

Ben has surely become a thumb sucker now! He really comforts himself with his thumb well. I am not upset about this!!

Three Months Old!

Ben is three months old now. He is delightful! He hasnt really progressed in the rolling over department, but he is very vocal and swings his arms and kicks his legs a lot! He found his thumb and comforts himself with it. He's a super duper sleep fighter, but he sleeps through the night, so I'm not complaining!

Rolie Polie

Benjamin rolled over for the first time from his tummy to his back on Tuesday, January 16th, 2007! Today in his bath he laughed and kicked his feet to splash the water. It was fun!

Benjamin is two months old. He smiles, laughs, and holds his head up now. He really likes his brothers and smiles at them a lot. He loves to swing and is sleeping through most of the night so Mommy and Daddy are getting more sleep now, which is a really good thing!

Benjamin is loved!
