Ben - Seven Months!


Sweet Ben is seven months old today!  This month has gone by in such a blur.  I've gone back to work, we went to the beach, Ryan got his cast off and we are currently dealing with a stomach bug.  Last night, I was thinking about Ben turning seven months, and I admit that I started to cry (but just a little).  I just cannot face the fact that I will technically only have a baby for five more months.  I know he will always, be "my baby" and I have to let him grow up (blah, blah, blah), but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Little Ben has reached one of my favorite baby stages - he can sit unassisted, but cannot go anywhere!  I love that I can put him down with a couple of toys and he is just as content as he can be.  He is now bored with his toes and now currently obsessed with a teething ring. OBSESSED.  If the grip Ben has on this ring is any indication of future athleticism, then he is going to make a pretty awesome wide receiver or baseball player.  He won't drop that toy for anything.

Ben is such a good and happy baby.  He is all smiles and loves to watch Henry.  He has adjusted well to daycare so I'd say his first month at Primrose has been a success.  We'll just see if he catches this lovely stomach bug Henry picked up from school...

Here are some photos of Ben's seventh month and our trip to the beach:

A few things

So I know that I haven't been as good about posting as I've wanted to, but here are a few things that are really making me laugh lately:

1)  This guy is just hilarious (and thinks he's pretty funny himself)!



2) We spent Labor Day at the beach with my parents.  Ryan set the timer on our camera so we could try to take some nice family pics.  Someone sneaked into our picture, and we didn't realize we had a furry friend in our photos until we reviewed them.  I cannot stop laughing at this picture.  Say "cheese" Cotton!
