A little over a week ago was Benjamin’s 8 month birthday! He has been a very busy boy lately. He is almost always on the go and trying hard to master whatever milestone he is working on. A few weeks ago that was getting to sitting from crawling then the day after he got that he moved on to pulling up on furniture! He now has that down pat and is working on cruising along the furniture. In his downtime, he has learned how to wave bye-bye, clap his hands, and crawl with his stomach off the floor (although he often resorts back to the army crawl when he’s in a hurry). We have started going to a music class on Thursday mornings. It’s called Rock-a-Baby and is actually as much fun for me as it is for him!
Physically, he weighs about 17lbs now and has two teeth with three more (we think) about to break through. He had his first bad cold last week and was not at all pleased with that experience! But he’s better now and once the teeth make their appearance we’re hoping to return to happier times. He is still a very happy baby with a quick smile even when he’s uncomfortable and as I expected it’s hard to say no to him when he starts grinning! He continues to be a great eater and is now mostly on solid food, rather than baby purees. His favorites these days are pasta, meatballs, pears, bananas, cheerios, french fries, and ice cream!
