Things we're loving most right now: how social you are, how much you like food
Eating:
Ben is eating really well and is exploring more and more food. He initially was somewhat skeptical about pureed food but was on board with mum mums, puffs, yogurt melts, and other self-feeding things. But he is gradually showing more interest in purees and has liked baby yogurt and a good range of pureed fruits and vegetables. He also really likes tortellini and black beans to feed himself. He continues to nurse well overall, twice in the morning before daycare and twice at night before bed, plus his usual 3 bottles at school.
Sleeping:
Ben is sleeping well and wakes up happy. He continues to take short naps at school and sometimes falls asleep in the car on the way to school. Ben spent the first week of this month in Washington DC and he did sleep fairly well given the time difference and all the craziness. He will also fall asleep in the carrier sometimes as long as he is moving.
Playing:
Ben is so social and friendly. He still loves to smile at us and tip his head to the side until someone returns the favor. He is getting more interested in the jumperoo as well. He is getting better at trying to stretch to get to a toy out of reach but still tips over occasionally. He is exploring more toys and loves to see what Abigail is doing.
Growth:
Ben is gradually moving out of his six month clothes and is into more nine month clothes. We are starting to put away some of the colder weather clothes as it warms up. I have no idea how much he weighs but since he loves to eat so much, hopefully he is gaining weight!
