Ben ~ 7 Months

Ben is growing so much lately...it's so much fun to watch him day to day.  He really is such a joy!  At 7 months old, Benjamin...

...is SO happy!  He will laugh for us all of the time and it makes us all so happy!  It's hard to be in a bad mood with Ben around :).

...is so so SO close to crawling.  He has made a few attempts at using his hands, but he always falls over.  I give it a few more weeks and he'll be crawling everywhere!

...still spits up...no surprise there!  

...loves taking baths!  He starts to freak out when we start to undress him and he hears the water running...it's the cutest thing ever!  

...it totally and completely adored by his brothers and sisters!  Noah is the one that is really attached to him lately.  He loves holding Ben and is so sweet with him.  I love watching him talk *baby talk* to Ben...sweetest thing ever!

...is teething like crazy, which has made him pretty fussy at times.  The good news is that if he is in our arms he calms right down.

...is such a great sleeper!  He takes two 2 hour naps every day, and sleeps about 11 hours every night!  It's so so nice!  Plus he goes to bed around 9:30, so that makes things even better!

...is very much a mama's boy!  If he sees me leave the room, he starts sobbing.  But the moment I come back, he calms right back down.  It honestly makes me feel so good that he needs me so much :).

...is a binky baby!  I'm actually really happy about this...none of the other kids took a pacifier for very long, but Ben just loves his.  Hopefully it's not hard to take away when the time comes.

...is so so happy whenever he wakes up, especially in the morning!  We just love it!

...is eating solids and is liking them so far.  He hasn't acted like he doesn't like anything...yet!  I'm sure he will have his favorites soon enough.

...is growing way too fast for my liking.  He is my last babe and I really want time to slow down a bit so I can enjoy him as a baby more.  I guess I'll just take what I can get :).

We sure do love you baby boy...to the moon and back!
