Ben's 1st Half-Birthday

Ben had his 6 month appointment last week. He weighed 20lbs (19 lbs, 14 oz to be exact). Ben enjoys standing (with help), clapping, and playing with his toys. Here are some new photos. Ben wears his special football pajamas on Saturday night in preparation for Sunday's big game.

Solid food

Ben had his first experience with solid food this week. He took right to it, which I guess we should have expected, given his love for eating.


We also worked on playing catch this week, but that didn't go so well (note the faint, but distinct snort ~7 seconds in).


And finally, Mackensie took some outdoor pictures this week.

Wake up, Ben

Nothing groundbreaking here, but watching Ben wake up on the one day each week he spends at his grandmothers' house is one of my favorite things.
