7 months old

Benjamin was 7 months old on Sunday. He is now "creeping", which is a modified army crawl with his belly on the floor. He can get anywhere very quickly. He can sit up from lying down which is wonderful until bedtime and you find him sitting in the corner of the crib, laughing at you. This morning, I found him at the front door, went to get my camera and he was STANDING at the steps. We have 17 steps going from down to upstairs--now freshly equipped with gates.

Sorry I haven't updated lately, but I am finally recovered from the flu. Benjamin and Matt have remained unscathed, but Ben has a little runny nose. Here are a few pics that I have taken lately.



Mammaw made Ben some new woobies. He's giving it the official taste test now. Benjamin sleeps with these and covers his head with them when he gets tired. It's like a little test if he is fussy. You can give him his woobie and pacifier and he will close his eyes if he is sleepy. When he is awake, he chews on them.
Pappaw and Benjamin. We walked to Mammaw and Pappaw's house on Monday afternoon for a visit.

Wonder what is under there?

Aunt Amy, Kennedy, and Benjamin
Trying out his first finger foods. More on the floor than in his mouth!
Almost made it to the mouth
I don't think he is too sure of what that is...
I think we will put the finger foods up for a few more weeks. I think this shows how little he cared for them.
Ben is an all wheel driver...climbing onto everything
Benjamin is cheering on the Vols. I was doing some chores and it got terribly quiet...he obviously had the newspaper.
