Ben - 19 to 23 Weeks

Ben is now 5 months and a few weeks old. He's working on sitting up and he is really starting to enjoy eating baby food. At first green beans and sweet potatoes were his favorites, but now he seems to love it all. I'm sure you can tell by the size of his cheeks! He's almost 18 pounds but I have a feeling he'll start to lose a little once he starts moving around. I think he'll be crawling soon, he just has to figure out how to lift himself onto his knees. Right now, he's able to scoot a little by just rocking back and forth. He's also almost figured out how to sit up. He can catch himself if he starts to fall foward but he's still working on side-to-side. He's also a drooling fool right now while we wait for his teeth to come through. We can see some white spots on his gums so hopefully that first one will break through soon. Luckily he doesn't seem to be in pain from it much. He loves to babble too and it's so much fun to see how aware he's becoming! Here are some pictures:

Ben actually smiles a lot but it's hard to catch with the camera. I think I've traumatized him because the flash is always in his face! I just can't help it...he's too cute to not capture on camera and share with everyone!
