I love you so! You are the essence of sweetness and the perfect middle child for our family! I couldn't have chosen a better boy to fill your role in our family. You smile so easily and are such a charmer. Everyone who gets to be around you for even a few minutes just falls madly in love with your sweet spirit. You are wonderful and you have the sweetest disposition!
Your six month appointment is the 16th so we'll find out soon how big you're getting. I'm anxious to see how much you've grown. You are wearing 6-12 & 9 month clothes and size two diapers. You are working on two bottom teeth, but neither are all the through your gums yet. You are slobbering and chewing away trying to get them to make their appearance.
You love your Momma and Tucker more then almost anything else. You've become my little shadow lately and don't like me to be out of your site. You LOVE to watch Tucker and if he's near you you squeal with delight. This means bath time is on the top of your list because Tuck is confined close to you. You reach out for him. Tucker doesn't always love this, but your so sweet about how much you love that big brother. You also like Casen and look at him as though he should sing to you like a toy. You are grabbing and picking up toys with ease and bringing them to your sore gums to chew on. You love to bang them around and throw them. You've got a pretty good arm!
You are still really laid back and there are very few things you don't like. Not being able to see me these days is one of your major reasons to fuss. Really when you cry you are needing something to eat or to sleep. You just don't complain much and around our house these days that is a MAJOR blessing!
You got your first hair cut this month. Your baby hair was thinning out and looking straggly so Aunt Sassie gave you a little trim. You were really good and sat and watched Emrie the whole time.
You are sitting up like a champ. You can sit straight up and stay for a long time. You like to play this way and be able to look around at the world. I think once you figure out you can move without assistance Tucker will be in BIG trouble! I bet you'll be crawling soon. You're so strong and eager to be apart of life going on around you.
We celebrated your first Easter at the end of March. We went to the Alumni Parade and you slept through the whole thing on Mimi Terri. We ate lunch at the Lakey's house and Aunt Chelsie came and spent the whole weekend with us. You love her and think she's very funny! You love when she throws you up in the air. I think you're going to be my dare devil child! You love to be wrestled and thrown around! You laugh so loud and as long as the thrower avoids the drool it's fun for everyone.
You started cereal this month and you LOVE it! From the very first bite you were hooked. You eat a large bowl of oatmeal every night before bath time and I can barely shovel it in fast enough. I was so surprised how much you liked it. You've already eaten a whole box of rice cereal and are almost done with a box of oatmeal. We're going to start baby food soon! (As soon as I go to the store!) If you like the bland cereal this much I think I better buy plenty.
Baby Boy you are just such a joy! You smile and laugh so sweet and so easily. You are precious and we are all crazy about you. You've stolen all of our hearts and we are so thankful God put you into our crazy bunch. Everybody needs a Ben in their family!
I love you more,
Momma
