Ben is 11 months old!

Happy 11 months old, Ben! You are growing so fast, and seeming less and less like a baby. Admittedly it makes me a little sad, but so joyful to have this sweet, happy little boy in our lives.

Ben is enjoying pulling up on things around the house. Last month he was a bit wobbly on the legs, and now it's easy does it! He is even getting brave enough to take some steps while he holds onto his music table or train. It won't be long before we have a walker!

 Ben is getting more expressive about what he does and does not want, and he babbles all the time. He likes to smack his hands on anything or anyone he touches, and he enjoys playing with whatever toy is in front of him. Ben is starting to like being read to instead of eating the books, and he likes to play peek-a-boo and to crawl away from you really fast and laugh. He's turning into quite the character!

Ben is still wearing 12-18 month clothes, size 2 shoes, and size 4 diapers. He now has a 5th tooth on the left of his two bottom teeth. Ben nurses in the morning and night, has a bottle every 3-4 hours, and he is an incredible eater! Ben takes 2 naps a day, and he sleeps from about 7:30pm - 4:30-5:30am. Hopefully he will break this early rising soon...

Caleb and Ben play nicely together, and Caleb likes to crawl around the ground with Ben and to make him laugh. We are so thankful for these sweet boys, and love watching them develop a brotherly friendship.

Happy 11 months Benjamin! We love you!!
