Ben is 1/2 a year old already!
April marked Ben's first Easter, and first Easter Basket of course! He got some new onesies (12 month) and couple of new summer outfits. He also got a few Cubs outfits since the season started this month! You can see he was already reaching for his new toy, too! He turned six months on the 23rd - some things he accomplished this month: sitting up (still topples, but we're getting better!), holding his own bottle, rolling over back to tummy, and he's eating like a horse! I can't believe all this happened in one month - I can't wait to see what month 7 brings! Here are his stats from the doctor:
Weight: 19lbs
Height: 27.5 inches
Head: 17.5 inches
All of these measurements fell in the 75th percentile - what a well-proportioned little man! Still no teeth, but I think they are coming! Just take a peek at this video... he does this new "fishy face" that I think is a result of some itchy gums! You can also see he is "itching" to crawl!
Here is a peek at some of Ben's new skills!
Holding his own bottle, straight chillin'!
Watchin' some TV!
Oh, hi Mom!
Wakeboarder in Training!
Thad Update: Thad has been a travelin' man this month. He was only home for a week at best and has been all over the NE - from Ohio to Maine and back. He'll return early May. Business is picking up since the summer season is fast approaching!
Sarah Update: Work has been very busy and with Thad being gone so much, there has been very little time to do anything. I have a new appreciation for single moms, that is for sure! This month I had the Science Fair and Talent Show - both a success! I am trying to get everything straightened out for Grad School which starts mid-May.
Murray Update: Murr-dog has spent a LOT of time this month with his buddy, Reggie, at Grammy and Grampy's house! Since Thad is gone and I've had some "extra" activities with work, I didn't want him to be home alone all day! He still enjoy's hanging out with Ben though!
Until next month! Happy May Everyone! =D
