We have had seven great months with sweet Bennett and can't believe how quickly the time has flown by.
Bennett has finally figured out how to eat solids and is eating purees twice a day with occasional finger foods like bread and broccoli.
He seems very eager to try everything we give him, which is a great improvement over his inability to eat a couple months ago. Phew!
He still nurses five times a day or takes an 8 oz. bottle when it's offered. Good growing boy!
He makes Mommy and Daddy proud by sleeping about 11-12 hours at night and taking three naps a day. He's managing to get the pacifier back into his mouth pretty easily, which thrills him.
He makes all kinds of chatty noises - from Ma to Ba to Na. We can't wait to hear him saying real words one day.
When he sees a bottle or pacifier he starts getting really excited/mad, so we make sure he doesn't see them unless it's time. When he hears Mommy around, he can get a little aggravated if she isn't the one holding him.
He loves to laugh and smile with his sister who dotes on him constantly. He has a tendency to grab her hair, but she is learning to live with it.
He rolls well, but doesn't use this skill to really get to things across the room. He doesn't stay on his tummy long, so tummy time doesn't really happen for him.
He sits up really well now (with the occasional bonk when he falls back), which gives him a fun, new vantage point.
He especially loves being outside and watching the leaves swaying in the breeze and listening to the birds chirping.
He loves to swing on the swing set and giggles and laughs with excitement. He also loves watching his sister swing and slide. Soon enough he will be chasing her.
Happy seven months, sweet Bennett! We love you so much!
