Oh boy, he sure is getting big, and SO FAST! We've had a very busy summer so far, and Ben is doing great running around and keeping up with Nate and Lilly. He walks holding on to things and actually has even started trying to take a step or two on his own! Still stumbling a lot and mostly crawling to get across the room, though. He just wants to go, go, go. If he's fussy, we can usually take him to a different room and let him play and that change of scenery seems to do the trick most of the time! I tried to baby-proof the play room (i.e. throw all barbie shoes and super hero swords away), so I don't have a heart attack every time he crawls over there, but we still have to keep an eye on him because his favorite thing to do in there is try to knock the TV over or pull it off the stand. I cut even more hair off this month, it grows so fast just like his big brother! He's got a major case of stranger danger and when any adults that aren't mommy or daddy get in his face, he very well may start screaming and crying! He loves to play peek-a-boo and so far loves the water, and going to the pool with brother and sister. He also loves to move the kitchen chairs back and forth on the tile, making a really loud noise which he seems to think is funny (I do not)! I finally took these two large brown square decorative tins off the wall in the living room, because for some reason they were upsetting Ben terribly! He'd crawl over there and touch them, trying to lift them off the wall, then scream and cry. I had to go as far as to put them under my bed because he got upset every time he saw them!! So funny. Who knows.
This is my friend, April's little boy, who is 5 months old here. Ben loves him and tries to reach out to touch him when he can. So sweet, they are gonna be good buddies!
