Ben - 8 Months


Where is the pause button?  Because Ben needs to stay at this age forever.  Seriously.  I think that the world would be a much happier place if everyone was required to spend some quality time with an eight-month old baby.  I could just eat him with a spoon!

Ben continues to be such a wonderful, easy-going baby.  He is all smiles and squeals.  I'd say our only downfall is his naps.  He isn't much of a napper.  They are generally pretty short, but sometimes he will give us a break and take a really awesome afternoon nap.  Sometimes.  Nighttime sleep is great, however, so I cannot really complain.

This kid also loves to eat.  Ben is all business when it comes to his meals.  There is nothing that I've offered him that he won't eat.  I'm really hoping this continues to work in our favor so I need to be pretty diligent about continuing to offer him a good variety of food.

Ben still is not crawling, which I'm honestly grateful for.  I think Henry's world will be rocked once Ben goes mobile.  Speaking of Henry, he has been such a wonderful big brother.  He just loves Ben and wants to interact with him.  He brings him toys to play with and loves to give Ben kisses and toys.  Henry also loves when they have similar toys/clothes to wear, which is great for me and my plans to have a few years of coordinating brother outfits!
