(Almost But Not Quite) 6 Months
Ben is gonna be scramblin' around before we know it. He's managing to spin around on his belly to get to different toys, wriggle around on our laps, and generally squirm like a little crazy person. Today he had his 6 month check-up, and all systems are go! He continues to be a tall drink of water, in the 90-95% for length (28 inches), while his head and weight are right where they should be. 17 lbs. 2.5 oz.
He's also regularly enjoying bananas, pears, peas (okay, peas, notsomuch), carrots, sweet potatoes, as well as rice cereal. He goes after the spoon like it's made outta ham.
He's also started laughing at our jokes. Or at least laughing at us. No longer just little giggles, we can get him wound up into full-on belly laughs now, which of course cracks us up too. Ben and the cat have also developed a mutual curiosity society. Bomber seems to want to hang out whenever Ben is around, no doubt looking for scraps of attention, and Ben just wants to alternately feel Bomber's fur and grab entire hunks of it, giggling the entire time, of course.
Little bugger still ain't sleeping through the night, though.
