Ben will be 7 months in less than a week and I failed to record his 6 month stats...I already don't know the exact numbers anymore so I'll give it my best shot from what I remember...
At 6 months he weighed about 17.5 lbs. and was somewhere around the 55%
He was 26.5 inches long, which put him around the 37%
Those aren't exact, but hey, most important is that he is healthy and growing. We thought from the beginning that he was going to tower over his older brother, which would probably help him deal with the torment he receives daily (all out of love) but at this point he is quite a bit smaller now than Ethan was...who knows we will just see what happens. He is the perfect little angel and I don't know what I would do without his infectious smile. He is so easy to love and so delightful to snuggle.
At 6+ months Ben...
Is eating solids pretty well...loves sweet potatoes, squash, and is OBSESSED with graham crackers...seriously the boy could eat them all day
-He is SUPER serious about food in general...we don't mess around when it comes to feeding
-He rolls over both ways and sits up on his own, still falls once in a while, but overall pretty stable
-He loves to blow raspberries when he is being playful
-Smiles every time he wakes up and sees his brother...he sure does love his Ethan
-loves to play with faces...his motor skills are improving so he loves using his fingers
-still has a little old man hairline, but it is slowly filling in on top...I adore his head
-still no teeth, the bottom left keeps breaking the skin and then going back under- it's killing me
-loves his thumb, but is moving on to sucking on his big toe as well!
-Loves loves loves to play in the grass
I just can't handle how much I adore this little boy...he just smiles all the time...
And to wrap up, here are my two munchkins...Ethan was determined that he was going to hold Ben, and that Ben was going to LIKE IT!
