Ben 11 Months Old with Gund Bear

One more month as a baby! I cannot believe it! He is so small it feels like he is still a "baby" at 15lbs 6oz and 28inches long little man is off the charts, but the sweetest peanut ever. You would never believe he was so small if you watched him eat. He really eats and likes to eat everything! (which is a nice change from our middle child). Ben is standing and crusing all the time now. He will walk behing walkers or chairs pushing them along. He is also a climber... and though he has not attempted the stairs that is next. He loves to play on the train table with his brothers, chew on everything and laugh. He is so sweet and content! We are very happy to have daddy Frank back very soon so he can enjoy this little man as much as I do!

Ben 10 Months Old with Gund Bear

10 Months Old! Ben had been such a blessing, especially with Daddy Frank being gone I couldn't ask for a better baby! He is so sweet and just lovely to be around. He spends most of the day in the Ergo still as I chase around his brothers, but he is pulling up on things and crusing around. We are lucky to have this little man in our lives!

Ben 9 Months Old with Gund Bear

Happy 9 Months Benjamin! He is a tiny {14lbs 10oz and 27.5 inches} So we are concerned for his weight loss, but he is getting over a cold... so we are hoping that is the only problem. Ben is really doing well with eating, so much better than last month so we don't think that is the problem. He is a very active little man, crawling and playing with his brothers.

Ben 8 Months Old with Gund Bears

Benjamin is 8 Months old! And finally acting like a big boy :) Around Christmas he decided to start eating foods and he hit the ground running! He eats most solids, enjoys mum-mums, cheerios, crackers, puffs, mandarin oranges... and whatever his brothers feed him... His favorite foods continue to be pears, blueberries, and apples... need to get more vegetables into this little man!

Ben started crawling around the floor, though he mostly goes in reverse. He loves his brothers, and any toy that rolls or squeaks. He likes to bounce in his jumperoo, or if you support him standing. He's still a little guy in comparison to his brothers, but we think he is a keeper :)

Ben 7 Months with the Gund Bear

Benjamin is 7 Months Old! He is still the best little guy ever and is very easy going. He is slowly improving with solid food, we have been able to get him to eat pears! Hey... it's a start! He is starting to sit up on his own, and is becoming more independent when he plays. He loves to bounce in his jumperoo! Most of the time Ben just likes to watch his brothers play. He is such a sweet little guy!
