Ben is 7 Months Old!

Ben is 7 months old today!  He is so much fun and getting such a sweet personality.

Here is what is going on with Ben these days:

• He started clapping today!
• He has three teeth (2 on bottom and 1 on top).  The other top one is coming through now too!
• He is eating all kinds of fruits and veggies.  He is eating 3 meals a day now.
• His eyes are still blue.  His hair is dark blonde.
• He is no longer aloud in the Bumbo and bouncy seat as he can now escape.
• He is very strong.  He loves to jump. 
• He helps you get dressed now.  He will push his arms through on his sleeves to put a shirt on and when you are taking it off, he will pull his arms down for you.
• He will lift his arms up when he wants you to pick him up and he will also push you away if you are doing something he doesn’t like.
• He is getting over his first ear infection (note the glassy eyes in some pictures). 
• He wakes up once or twice in the night but goes right back to sleep.  He goes to bed around 6:30 or 7:00 and wakes up between 6:30 and 7:00.  He still takes 3 naps a day.
• He is so close to crawling.  He rocks back and forth.  He tries to go for a toy but hasn’t been able to coordinate his arms and legs.  He moves backwards and spins around pretty well though.
• He is making all kinds of new sounds.  He loves to jabber.
• He is very patient and laid back.  He is such a happy little guy.
• He LOVES his big sister.  She really entertains him.
