Big Ben is six months old! We've made it to the halfway point of babyhood and it has been a blast. Ben has been showing us his wonderful personality and my goodness is he a sweet little man! He is all smiles, drool, silly faces and toes. His toes are his absolute favorite toy, which is understandable since they are always around. I believe Ben would be content just sitting around and holding (or chewing) his toes all day.
Ben will take a bottle, but only if it is warm enough for his liking. And if it has gotten "too cold" for his halfway through his feeding, then he wants you to warm it back up for him. Otherwise, he will not finish it. However, he is turning out to be a pretty great little eater - eating peas, butternut squash, sweet potatoes and pears faster than you can shove it into his mouth. I hope this trend continues!
We have slept through the night twice, and I'm hoping that he will start doing this on a more frequent basis. Fortunately he is just getting up once a night, so it's really not that bad. I lie, I'm tired. Ben, won't you please, please, please start sleeping through the night? Mama needs her sleep!
So I went back to work today. It was hard, really hard. I've really enjoyed having this one-on-one time with Ben - perhaps more than I expected. I will really miss spending my days with this sweet little man. I know he is in wonderful hands at Primrose, but I wish they were mine instead. It is comforting to know, however, that Ben will be spending his days at the same place Henry loves so dearly. I can only hope that Ben thrives at Primrose as much as Henry. I am truly thankful for that place and the staff.
So here are some pictures to enjoy:
