8 Months and Growing Strong

Ben will be 8 months tomorrow! It's amazing how time flies. We are having so much fun with him as he's growing. He's very independent and enjoys playing very much. He loves music and even rocks back and forth to great hits like, "Itsy Bitsy Spider," and, "The Rainbow Song." He'll even beat any object that's around him with his hand to capture the beat of the song. What a rockstar! He's crawling around now so we really have to watch him! At first he crawled backwards and scooted his cute little butt around. As of yesterday he started moving forward and discovered that the hard wood floor is easier to maneuver on than carpet! He'll do his best to get to the hard wood floor now! It's so cute.

These pictures are from various things. Starting from the bottom, we have Ben with his Auntie Noopie when we hung out one Saturday. Next we have a few pictures from our trip to Monterey one weekend. We had such a great time! I took him for a long walk while Steve was in his Conference and we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. There's a picture of us in front of the Deep Sea Tank! He laughed very hard at the Sea Otters and tried to eat seaweed. All in a day's work! Next, we have pictures of us just chillin' at home. He loves to play with his Dad. It's so sweet to watch. Finally, the last few pics are from Super Bowl Sunday where we got all of the kids born around the same time from Steve's firm. Lots of pics and lots of fun! Enjoy!
