6 months old

Benjamin was born on conference Sunday in October and turned 6 months old this last conference Sunday. Kinda cool. Stats for this guy are 17lb 15oz (52nd percentile) and 26 1/2 in (45th percentile). He is healthy, almost always happy, still spitting up a lot, usually sleeping well (and now he won't sleep on his back), taking solids more regularly, and still prefers mommy's milk. This month will bring his first tooth (I swear I can see it) and possibly crawling. It seems early but he's on his hands and knees and lunging. Walks, outside time, baths, eating, driving and tickle time are his favorite things. He amuses us with his grunts for more food (although sometimes it is annoying to be growled out when you won't get him the food faster), his laughs, his morning happy faces and pulling Olivia's hair(It doesn't amuse her though). We love and adore this little guy! Olivia amuses us by displaying jealousy when we have to give him more attention than her and then turns around and says she wants one more brother and a sister too? Does she understand that time is going to get tighter? For now, I am enjoying this baby munchkin and I think I can wait for the next one for now.


Up on his knees, rocking away.

Splish, splash in the bath!

Mom, does this tie go with my diaper?

Wow he is going to be an early crawler! He did exercise a lot in his jolly jumper :) I can't believe how quickly 6 months goes, especially when you are not the one waking up at night and changing diapers :)
