8 Months (Almost)

Holy Cow!!  He is almost 8 months old!!  Here are some our favorite things about our little Bennett.

• He loves to roll around and scoot backwards.  He has not really figured out how to go forward unless he really wants something like the remote, then he can find the strength to do it.  He also is getting up on his hands and knees and rocking.  We are fine with him taking his time.  Our apartment is far from being baby proofed.

Stuck from scooting backwards

Stuck Again!!

Looking like he is getting close to being stuck.

Yep!! Stuck again!!

•  He is really getting the hang of eating solids.  He has loved everything he has tried so far.

First Eating!!  He wasn't too thrilled.

Now he loves it and opens his mouth big for a bite!

• He sleeps so well and when he wakes up too early in the morning, he will just sit and play and talk until I finally go get him (sometimes after an hour of waiting).
• Bennett sits up really well.  He does fall thinking that we are there to catch him.  He is getting better and better at it though.

• Instead of putting his arms out when I reach for him, he grabs my hands.  I just love this.
• Bennett is starting to give open mouth kisses.  Sometimes he goes in for the attack when I am least expecting it.  He won't do it while Sam is around though so Sam thinks I am making it up.  I promise it is real!!
• He just loves sitting in high chairs at restaurants now.  He will stare down a person until they finally look at him then he will smile and get too shy so will look away.  Hilarious when he is giving them the stare down.

•  Bennett just loves when Sam comes home from work.  He will get so excited and bury his head into the ground.
• He does so well in the car on our road trips.  We can tell he gets sick of being the car towards the end but is a great trooper!  We have a couple road trips coming up so we will see how he does.

Bennett is just so much fun and is growing so much.  We just love having him around and can't wait for him to learn more new things!!

Here are a few more pictures for your entertainment!!

Valentine's Goofball!!

He is always doing something to make us laugh.

Loves rolling over while playing with his toys.

I was laying like this on the ground so he has to copy me.  I just can't get over this picture.  He is just the cutest!!

He could play in this exersaucer forever!!  He just loves it.
