Seven Months Old

Benjamin Joel hit his seven month mark on May 15th! He's just so cute, it's almost wrong!!! Don't worry, I've been photographing him excessively to document every move he makes!



Benjamin has been doing all sorts of big boy things this month! He loves to eat food - fruit and veggies, cereal, and crackers! He doesn't even mind making a little mess!


He loves to have fun in his exersaucer (and Nana/Papa's walker!) He really enjoys being able to look around and check out everything around him! He also loves when I put new toys on the tray of his exersaucer! I think he's gotten a little bored of the pre-installed toys!!! He's already mastered them and enjoys the new things to play with!


We celebrated Easter during this month, and it was so fun to experience another holiday with a little boy! We did all the fun Easter activities, including dying eggs, making a fun Easter-themed spread for our meals, and looking through our Easter baskets on Sunday morning! We spent the holiday with Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Dave this year! It was so much fun!

Here's Ben with his Easter bunny bread!


He LOVED dying Easter eggs! I think every single on had his name on it!



He was loved up by Grandpa Dave and Grandma Debbie. We found out quickly that Benjamin has a special bond with his Grandpa, even preferring him over me!!! Grrr!!!


Benjamin had his own Easter basket, of course! He got some pacifiers, a teething ring, and a bunny blanket made especially for him by his Grandma Debbie! There was also a chocolate bunny in there, but I think that might have been meant for me! :)


We just love this little mug!


Benjamin loves his daddy, and the feelings are reciprocated!


Now that the weather's nicer, we've been enjoying a lot more walks outdoors! Benjamin loves to see and hear the birds chirp, the cars go by, and all the other outdoor action!


Just a few more pictures of my big seven month old!




Benjamin's biggest achievement this month? He's mobile! He doesn't crawl quite yet, but he does get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth. He can also shimmy himself backwards quite well! Sometimes he does what we call the "tripod." He likes to use his head as a third arm to help himself figure out how to work his arms into crawling. I'm pretty sure he's just going to take off any day now! We've got to get the gates put up!!!


We've been taking him to the park now that the weather's been so nice, and he loves it! He loves to swing and play, and he especially loves to watch all the other kids!



We sure do love this little man! He's just growing and changing before our eyes! I know this is a month late, but we had some 6 month pictures taken and are starting to get them back, so here's a sneak peak!!!
