Only two months until he is a year old!!! I just can't believe it. My baby is getting so old. This month Ben has been so busy. He is constantly on the move. He will army crawl to something he can pull up on, and then he will cruise everywhere either walking along the furniture, with his walker, or even walking along the walls. He will also stand for about 15 seconds at a time. Ben loves to clap and will clap at the right spots when I sing If your happy and you know it. He is starting to wave, but only when he wants to. Ben's newest favorite thing is to play in the cabinets. He opens the doors and pulls everything out of them. Ben started to say Dada this month. He also loves to say Up. He doesn't know what it means, but he says it over and over again. Ben loves Praise Baby and when an animal comes on the screen he gets so excited.

Ben got three new teeth this month, the second on the bottom and the top two. With the new teeth and having been sick he has not been sleeping through the night anymore :-( Hopefully he will get back on track soon. Ben weighs about 19 pounds. We have been working on trying to get him to gain some weight since he dropped to the tenth percentile. In the morning he eats yogurt, cheerios and banana. For lunch he has yogurt again and veggie baby food with some finger foods. Then for dinner we eats 2 meat baby foods and a fruit baby food plus some finger foods. He nurses three to four times a day on top of that. I feel like I am feeding him so much, so hopefully he will really start gaining some weight.

Ben still wears lots of 3-6 month clothes, but has finally out grown some of them. He is also wearing 6-12 months, but they are usually pretty big. He is finally filling up his size two shoes and will probably be wearing threes soon. He is wearing a size three diaper, but I am about to switch him to a four.

Such a Sweet Face
I love his profile

Oh, my goodness! I am needing to catch up on comments! First, that picture of Ben pulling up on his book rack is TOO CUTE! Love everything about it. Also love, love the one of you two. Seriously momma-son love going on there, and I love it!
Second, I'm loving your hair color! I'm thinking of going a little darker.
Third, you are a monogramming queen! Everything looks so professional and great!
I'm so proud of Ben and Neil! They're just growing by leaps and bounds and learning so much. I'm going to sing If You're Happy and You Know It to Neil and tell him it's Ben's favorite. :) He's been hooked on Patty Cake (Pat-A-Cake?)
Anyway.
Love, love, love Ben in his 10month old handsome-ness. And, if I can say for both of our boys, they're beautiful!
Philip says I can say beautiful until Neil's two. Ha!
