Oh my. The fun has begun. Ben is on the go, and he's a fast little guy. He doesn't exactly crawl yet, but with a combination of rolling and scootching he can get anywhere he wants to go. He pushes up on hands and knees all the time, so actual crawling is not far off. I'm not sure we are ready, and I know that our house isn't!
We just took our first camping trip with Ben and he LOVED it! I was surprised how well he did. We took the pack n' play and set it up in the tent, so he slept pretty well. When he woke up Saturday morning he was beaming ear to ear and spent the entire day with the same big smile on his face. This was the first time in memory that he chose not to nap, I think for fear of missing something. Dan even took him swimming in the bay. I thought he was going to get upset because it was pretty cold, but no, he went back in for seconds.
Ben's eating lots of solids now. We've added applesauce and sweet potatoes to his menu. He still acts surprised when you give him something other than rice. But after the first bite he opens his mouth for more. He's just under 19 pounds now. I'm amazed everyday when I get home because he looks like he's grown and changed while I was gone.
Time to get ready for work! Happy Fall.
