Ben at 6 Months old... and 7

Ben's Stats as of Aug 31, 2015 at his 6 month well check:

Ben at 6 Months

Height- 25.25 in (3%)

Weight- 15 lbs 14 oz (16%)

He always seems so big to me until I take him to the doctors office and see how he compares to other kiddos his age.  

As of today- 9.28.15...

~He is a mover and a shaker.  

While he's not exactly a pro-crawler yet, he gets where he wants to go and is getting quicker and quicker about it.  His coordination is improving as he crawls more and more and he's very intentional about where he wants to go.

~He's such a happy boy and is quite the talker/singer.  He especially seems to love the high pitch squeals- but at least they're happy noises.  

~He's not very patient when it comes to food but he is pretty patient with Caroline. He's loving baby food and makes some pretty good faces.  I've tried giving him pieces of the Gerber puffs and after gagging a few times they seem to disappear.  I'm going to give him a little time before we get too carried away with solids...

~He has gone through quite a few different sleeping cycles- one where he blessedly slept from about 8pm-7am; one where woke up two times a night- usually around 2am and 5am; one where he woke up at 3am; and his latest is waking up to eat at 6am and then going back to sleep for a few hours.  I'll take it. He's also sleeping in the same room with Caroline most of the time.  Usually though if he wakes up in the night I'll end up putting him in the pack-and-play. 

~He likes his mamma.

~Like lots of babies he loves to be where there are a lot of people and there's more to hear and see.

~Has a sweet little laugh and giggle.  It's fun to figure out just what will tickle his funny bone- it changes regularly.
