What a Month!

It seems that Ben has grown up all at once this past month! He stood up in his crib all by himself for the first time. He sleeps ALL the way through the night. He waves bye-bye. He has two teeth on the bottom. He has figured out how to crawl, peg-leg style and is working on climbing the stairs. He babbles on and on all day. He has decided he does not want to be rocked before nap time, just a hug and a kiss will do. And he has successfully weaned himself and is loving real people food, especially cookies.


When I came in to get him from his nap, he was standing up clapping. So proud of himself

He loves to stand up and then plop on his bum in the tub.



Here are some other fun Ben facts:

Favorite Foods:
Oatmeal, graham crackers, apples, mac and cheese, juice, pizza, monster "pumpkin" oranges (thanks meg and luke!) cookies, and ice cream

Favorite Things:
Fold laundry, rides in the car and jog stroller, playing, hiding from daddy, tubby time, being carried by mom (as much as possible), anything involving dogs, turn lights off and on, play with the knobs on the washer, open and close doors

Not so Favorite:
He is TERRIFIED of door stops. You know the boingy things on the back of doors. He HATES going through the car wash


The "Peg Leg" Crawl.
