Benjamin's business

Things have been getting better and slightly more predictable. We no longer have to drown him out with music at night and he is responding much better to his bedtime routine. He can be calmed and will lay on his mattress next to me for awhile and unwind! Now that those 4 pesky teeth are in, he is a new baby.

But, I'm pretty sure another tooth in on its way. Lots of biting. He even bit grandma today! He bit my arm too- and it seems like he understands the word No. He will stop what he is doing and look at your questioningly.

He is super active. I hardly remember the days when we had to carry him everywhere. He's at this good stage where he can crawl really slowly and doesnt need to be constantly entertained. This allows mom and dad to chill on the couch for a few minutes while he explores the living room or nursery. I know-- In a few weeks he will be walking and then we will just be chasing him everywhere!

He loves standing and will pull up on anything!

We are gearing up for a few trips this summer and hope he travels well. He is better behaved in the car now- if you time it with a nap he will doze off :)

Ohh and the little chubby 7 month old only wears 12 month old clothes!
