6 month old hero

I can't believe that my little guy is already 6 months old. He's such a little hero to us. So far we have enjoyed watching him grow up. Now we are getting into new adventures with him like getting two new teeth and Ben being able to get around so much that we have had to baby proof almost everything already. I thought it would be at least a little longer before we had to make sure that everything was out of his reach. It's truly amazing that you don't realize how unsafe your house is until you get a little guy moving around who is a magnet to all the dangers in your home. Most of the time I didn't even know that I had left anything out and then all of a sudden he finds a plastic bag or something. Ben can now reach onto the coffee table and get whatever we forget and get it into his mouth. He's getting fast, but for now I'm still faster.

Well here his is in all his glory. Mike found the suit and we thought it was just right for his 6 month shots.My two hero's

Look mom I can fly.

Oh the classic looking off into the distance pose. I wish that I could say that I got him to do this but I think he heard a cry for help in the distance and was off in a flash.

Of course we still got a few shots in with Benard's trusty lion Carnie. What would a monthly photo shoot be without him? Ben has grown soooo much.

Just checking to make sure that all is well in the world before he takes his nap.
Good safety to all and to all a good night.

Growing up Soooooo Fast

Ben is almost 6 months now and he got his first tooth on Saturday, June 14th, and I'm sure that another one is not far behind. On Friday night we were camping with my family, and really not a time you want your baby screaming in the mild of the night for no reason that you know of, then when I found the tooth I totally understood why the boy was the way he was.

A few more things that Ben is doing now include, swimming on land (trying to crawl) and drinking from a bottle @ the same time that someone is holding him. In some ways it just seems like yesterday that he was so small and not doing anything and in other ways I just can't remember much about him being any younger then he is right now.

We are truly enjoying watching this little guy grow up and I am thank full for all those in his life that encourage us and want to get to know this little guy as he becomes more of who he is meant to be.
