5 1/2 months!

Where did our little newborn baby go? Ben is growing up so quickly these days - he seems to be getting bigger and doing new and exciting things every single week. Our little man is sitting up ALMOST on his own now - he needs a little support from us just in case he goes backwards - but he can mostly stay up on his own. He is getting up on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth like he's ready to take off any second! He's able to scoot and push himself around pretty well - he also just rolls sometimes! He's much more interested in Bailey and wants to "pet" him when he's close by. He still likes to join us in bed sometimes in the mornings - guess our pillows are more comfortable than his stiff crib. ;0) He is definitely dealing with some painful teething, which made for a couple of rough nights, but he's a trooper most of the time. Just don't get between him and anything he's about to stick in his mouth! Our little guy is growing up...

It warms my heart to see Ben enjoying the bouncer as much as Jack did! That pesky little flower was Jack's favorite too!
