ben: 6 months

[I've had this written down on paper for over a month now, and I've been waiting to post it until I downloaded pictures from my camera. That hasn't happened, and I now have a post for Ben's 7th month that I want to put up, so I'll just have to add all the pictures later. It will happen. No need to put my blogging on hold for that, I guess.]

Here is our little Ben at 6 months:

• eating his first solids (bananas, rice cereal, and pears) and loved them
• sitting up straight as a board for 3 weeks now
• rolled from tummy to back for the first time while in his crib one morning
• already trying to crawl (leans way over and gets onto his knees before falling onto his belly)
• sputtering!
• lots of cute grins
• chubby, squeezable arms and legs
• weighs 21 lbs. 13 oz.
• 28 3/4 " tall (same length as Sean at 9 months!)
