6 Months Today

Bennett is 6 months today. He is 15 1/2 lbs and 26 inches. The doctor says he is a 30/30/30 kid which makes him very proportional as all stats seem to land him right around the 30th percentile. He has been growing taller and his thinning hair has been growing in as well! He is starting to look like a "little dude" with his bangs that just kind of lay as they please:) He is a twelve hour sleeper these days. We have to try hard to keep him up until 7 pm as he is sooo ready for sleep by then. This week he just started eating solids at all three meals so that is keeping him very busy and very messy....hello laundry. He has graduated from the size 2 diaper to the size three and his 3-6 month clothes do not really fit him anymore. He loves his hands...he wraps his sleeve around his hand and sucks on it as he falls asleep...or pretty much anytime he is trying to entertain himself. His favorite toy these days is his pal scout which he got from Grandma Grape for Christmas. Ben loves anything that plays music. He has learned that in the tub the harder he kicks his feet...the more the water splashes so bath time has gotten a lot more interesting ....and a lot more wet....I need golashes and a raincoat to escape in any presentable fashion. He watches Hudson's every move these days and once and a while (usually when he is very tired) he will cry when we are out of his sight...but that lasts for about ten seconds and then he forgets all about the fact that he cannot see us. He is sitting like a champ. He still needs just a tad bit of support so he does not tip side to side but I give it another week and I think he will be sitting all on his own. What a kid he is. So so precious and fun. I would never in a million years have guessed when 2010 started what a blessed year it would be for our family. Best six months of our lives! We love you Benny!
