Ben

Our Ben is getting so so big! It is so crazy to me! Look at him just standing there what a big boy! This kid is so mellow and so loveable and so giggly and I may have said this before but he seriously has the most contagious laugh! I'm not even kidding I really wish I could put it up on here it is so INCREDIBLY  cute. His crawl is equally as cute since it's not really a crawl. He is still pulling himself around on his arms everywhere he goes. I really don't know if he will ever actually crawl. He is soo soo soo STRONG! Seriously such a tough boy and so full of love and snuggles but not for to long because he has to be on the move! Loves to be outside, chase around the vacuum and the broom. He really wants to talk and it's so fun listening to him. I'm working pretty hard on him saying Mama since Sadie said Dada first. He has mastered clapping and now has 4 teeth. I love him so much and love to just be with him and hold him. I feel like I don't get to do it enough but I'm glad he is patient with me because his sister demands a lot of attention.
His 9 month stats are...
Weight 22.3 lbs 75%
Height 28 in. 50%
Head 71.5 cm 75%
does the head sound about right? It was kinda hard to read the writing there...
I'm still trying to get him to sleep through the nights, for the most part he's up like 3 or 4x  I had to make him cry for a bit about 3 nights ago which broke my heart but he kept waking up but then wouldn't eat or anything he just wanted me to pick him up and hold him over and over again. but the last two night he has only gotten up once! Ya Ben! I hope it's going to stay that way. We love our little Benny and all of his contagious smiles...it's so weird to even think back before he was here... I really can't even remember what it was like he just belongs with us! Love you little benny boy!

He is so cute! I think he is such a good mix of you and Eli.
He sounds like a busy, big, & tough little man!

Such cute kiddos! Sure miss them. It is great hearing about them and their little personalities. Sadie is a character! Ben is 9 months old already! Wow! But on his 1 year you'll be up for a visit right? So the faster it goes, the quicker we will see you. Whoo-hoo! Not that I want him to grow up, I just want to see you guys soon.

Are you really coming to visit on Ben's 1 yr birthday?? Oh please say you are. He is so stinking cute Kate, I'm so glad you update your blog so I get to see them grow up (as nerdy as that sounds ha ha). Or I guess I should say its 'old lady' talk. Remember when we used to make fun of each other for talking in 'old lady' talk?? ha ha love ya
