Ben at Six Months

 

Ben, on November 11, you turned six months old! Half a year...I can hardly believe it. And I can hardly believe that you'll be seven months old tomorrow...ha!

You have been such a blessing to our family, and you have just fit right in since the moment you were born. You are such a happy, easy-going baby...especially when you are being held. Have I ever mentioned how much you love being held? Well, just in case. You love being held. A lot.

Here are a few things that you have been up to in your sixth month:

-At your sixth month visit you weighed 17 lbs 7 oz, and you were 26 3/4 inches long.

-You got your first tooth right before you turned six months and your second right after. 

-You like to sit in your Bumbo. You are a fan of sitting up and seeing what's going on.

-You have learned how to make a giant mess in your bathtub. You love to kick and splash out all the water.

-You are a fan of the solid foods. I haven't found one you don't like.

-You sleep about 11 hours a night. Sometimes less. Never more.

-You take 3-4 naps a day depending on what's going on and how long they are.

-You are not a fan of the rolling over. You haven't done it once this entire month. We think you are just way too relaxed and chill to care about moving around.

-You think Max is hilarious.  And your daddy.
