6 Months

Happy half birthday buddy!
I can hardly believe my little Benjamin is 6 months old already.

He has been such a delightful addition to our family.

I'm so proud to say that Benjamin and Chloe love each other. It's too cute.

He is growing and learning so much every day.

Benjamin is sitting well unassisted.

He eats like a champ, is sleeping well at night (finally) and is such a wonderful happy baby.

I can tell he wants to crawl... he has started doing the army crawl a little. He seems perfectly happy rolling and scooting until he gets where he wants to go.  His favorite place to go is under the coffee table.

We've checked and there is nothing interesting under there... he still loves it.

Even Chloe gets down there with him

My mom pointed out, it's like their first fort together!

He loves rolling around and playing in his crib....

and being silly!

What a silly boy, he loves sticking out his tounge!

We did a big online order last week for gates and other baby proofing things we need.  These last 6 months have been awesome and I know the next 6 months are going to be even more fun as Benjamin continues to grow and becomes mobile.

6 Month Stats:

Weight: 16.2 lbs

Height: 25 inches (my short little man)

6 Month Milestones:

• Rolling over (front to back and back to front).
• Sleeping well (unswaddled).
• Sitting on his own (and does great rolling into his fall!)
• Eating 2 solid meals a day, oatmeal for breakfast (sometimes with fruit), meats and veggies for dinner.
• Drinks water or expressed milk from a sippy cup (still with a little help).  I made the mistake of letting him sip from my water once, now everytime I fill up my water he jumps and squirms with excitment and starts grabbing at my water! He loves drinking from a big cup!
• Recognizes the people he loves (mom, dad, Chloe, Obi, and his daycare teachers). No one gets a smile quite like Dad when he comes home from work though! 
• Sometimes he cries when strangers talk to him. (Begining of stranger anxiety.)
• Laughing. It's really cute when he laughs at the dog. All he has to do is stand near him or walk by and Benjamin lights up!  Benjamin gets especailly giggly (at everything) in the evenings when he is tired!
•  Has learned how to splash in the bathub.
•  Beginning to babble, lip sounds "m, b, p" (I've even heard him say "ma" once or twice!)
•  He is the cutest, brightest, most wonderful baby in the entire world!
