6 Months!

Benton - 

It is so hard to believe that 6 short months ago, we were blessed with the most precious gift. Now you are halfway to completing your first year of life! It's so hard to believe.

This month has been so much fun as you are constantly discovering new and interesting things in the world around you. You are still the most pleasant baby ever and now your smiles and laughter brighten each one of our days. In fact, you smile and giggle so much now that the ladies at daycare call you a little flirt! :)

Neat things for this month:

• Lots of food! You now are eating Stage 2 foods, and have tried oatmeal, carrots, green beans, mixed vegetables, and a blend of apple, pears, and bananas. You have 3 meals a day and you love to eat, just like Mommy! :)
• Your two bottom teeth are officially in, and the TOP 4 teeth are breaking through right now! Not much longer before you lose that sweet little gummy grin and have a mouth full of little teeth!
• You "talk" all the time
• Your laughter is absolutely contagious
• You love to grab ANYTHING in sight...from my hair to shoes to the straps of my purse
• You sat in the grocery cart for the first time yesterday - and loved looking around
• You are now in stage 3 diapers
• You got your first cold this month and your first ear infection. However (to prove what a good baby you are) we only knew that something was wrong because you wouldn't go to sleep at your usual 7pm! By the way, you are sleeping around 12 hours a night now. :)
• You love to roll over and are now sleeping on your tummy. You are starting to get into the crawling position...not much longer now!

We love you, little boy!!! 

Just love him sooooo much! Since it's October, he's wearing a little Halloween outfit...it says "little monster" :)

I could just eat that sweetness up! :)
