8 Month's {Benjamin}

No check up this month! But we did have to pay a visit to the doctor just before we left for Pennsylvania. So his current weight is 19lbs!!! Yes that is just 4 pounds less then his big sister.



Obviously this means he is happily scarfing down anything that we let him. He is still loving his food and bottles. We have even given him a new option for a snack this month and that is the Baby Mumm Mumm's. It took him about a week to learn that he could actually swallow the bites he took, before that he would just bite off some, play with it in his mouth, and then spit it back out again. This was a very messy time, as any of you that have had them before would know they dry like cement.


He is doing great still sleeping though the night mostly, only waking once for a bottle usually around 5am. If he wakes earlier then that we just let him cry it out as long as it's not the inconsolable cry. He seems to love his room and his crib. When he wakes up in the morning we can hear him just chatting away to himself and when we do go in and get him, it's all smiles.

As I said in the beginning he took his second trip to the northeast, we visited Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving and more importantly his Great-Grandfather's memorial service. It was a great trip and we enjoyed the very chilly fall weather and lots of family time.


He is crawling around everywhere which now allows him to get into so much more. He plays in Olivia's room with her and makes just as big a mess as she does. He even loves to pull himself up to see what else there is. I love watching the 2 of them, they have such a love for each other. He still likes to pull her hair but I am pretty sure its just payback for the times where she gets a little too rough with him.
