Benjamin Bounce Bounce

Wednesday, June 10, 2009



Ben is almost 8 months (fhewww time flies!) and he's more alive than ever! He is crawling all over the house exploring with his hands and mouth. He's eaten a sticker (which came out perfectly in his poop) and a small ball of homemade playdoh, which made him break out in a rash. My floors have to be immaculate or he finds it!

He's still super happy and easy-going. Most of the time he's independently exploring or getting rolled on by Emma. Ben always makes Emma laugh. The two of them are developing a beautiful friendship.

A couple of times I've caught Ben lifting himself up and even trying to climb. On the stairs a couple of times, on Emma's TV chair, on Papi's guitar case. He's not wasting any time! Days after he got the crawling thing down he was lifting himself up!

He weighs around 20 lbs. and is taller and has bigger feet than Emma did. We've been letting his hair grow out just to see, and it's curly like his Dad's!

Ben is our jolly ball of sunshine.

He is super cute! I can't believe how old he is now, wow. I hope you can figure out things to feed Emma, I wouldn't know where to begin. But you are a great mom and are very clever and resourceful! Good luck.

I think "jolly ball of sunshine" fits Ben perfectly! He's always so happy every time I see him. Such a cutie! To answer your question about the car, it doesn't get good gas mileage, the only think I don't like about it.

Ben is a cutie! It seems just before we left to Utah Ben was having trouble with a rash. Is that what you found out, it was from eating playdough? Crazy! Glad he's such a happy boy! Makes life nice to have happy kids!
