Ben: 7 Months

Our sweet Ben is 7 months old, and officially on the downhill side of almost a year old.  It seems like he's been here forever, and yet I am still shocked that he's already 7 months.  The days just won't slow down...

handsome boy looks pretty good in Cream & Crimson, don't you think?

At seven months, Ben is 27.5 inches long and weighs 19 pounds 5.9 ounces.  He has two teeth, and is proving to be a bit of a picky eater.  Grand.  Also, he continues to refuse to sleep through the night, BUT he is starting to be a better napper during the day!  We take victories where we can around here.  And, lastly, I cannot believe he isn't crawling yet.  He is seriously so close.  Having a crawler is the end of the true "baby era," but man will life be easier once Ben is mobile.  Since our house is already baby-proofed, there's no worry there, and he'll stop screaming at the top of his lungs when Natalie and Jack leave him in the dust, hopefully, if he can tag along behind them.  Besides, 19.5 pounds is a touch on the heavy side to be toting around on my hip all day!

Happy 7 months, Benjamin!
