Benjamin at 6 Months

Hard to believe our little guy is six months old. He's still sleeping great and eating well and overall is such a happy boy.

We started Ben on rice cereal a few weeks ago and added some oatmeal over break. He started vegetables (right now just yellow squash) on January 2 and seems to enjoy something with a little more taste. When Ben eats, he opens his mouth for the spoon, then tucks his favorite two fingers in his little mouth and sucks it all down. This makes for a relatively clean meal.

He's pretty close to sitting, although not there yet. If balanced just right, he'll stay up a second or two. I don't think it will be long.

Ben's latest toy, the exersaucer...it was perfect, the Christmas tree came down and the saucer went up.

His first attempt with a sippy-cup, which was exceptionally unsuccessful, due largely in part to the fact that his mom did not realize that the lid was still on the cup. :-) Poor guy.
