As with all babies, Benjamin is ever changing....
- He now has two upper and two lower teeth.
- His took two steps on Saturday
- He is babbling a lot more, and also likes to growl
- He has learned to "pant" like a dog whenever he sees a puppy dog
- He loves putting things in his mouth, especially dirt and twigs
- He can now crawl up and down an entire flight of stairs by himself (although I'm always close by)
- He loves balls, probably because of their usefulness as combo chew toy/something to kick
As expected...he is a scrawny thing. 17 lb 13 oz (5th percentile)
and about 40th % in height. Doc Paul said that the leveling off of weight was normal in breastfed babies, and that as long as he continues to eat well, I shouldn't be concerned.
I think that if my son weren't such a wonderful ball of energy that maybe he could gain some weight. If I moved like he did everyday, I would look like a model!
The camera was packed away with everything else in the move, so here are some pictures supplied by Gma Cow.
I love this kid. It is preposterous that I don't get to see him. I just want to pick him up and love on him. And, he just looks cool. Also, I want to see pics of the house. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love this kid too.......I am a little concerned he is going to be 16 before I can make it back to play with him.
ReplyDeleteMiss you!
Very exciting news!! I can't wait to see him and play with him on Sunday -- I know Carson is super excited! I am anxious to see the new house, too - finished this time.
ReplyDeleteWe had such a good time in Chilli last Saturday. Helped Mary & Scott empty bunches of boxes, get some rooms semi-organized, and of course, play with Benjamin. He is such a delight, we are anxiously awaiting spending more time with him this weekend. Your home is beautiful, and I imagine you are anxious for all the backorders to come in!!
