So...it's quite a belated 6 month post! I apologize for the delay.
Benji has been keeping us on our toes. He's becoming more and more active and playful with each passing day. He's sitting up with only the occasional topple, so we spend a lot of time playing with toys on the floor. He also loves to go outside, so we try to get out daily to take a walk and to go to the tot lot where he enjoys swinging and going down the slide with Mommy. We also have what I half-jokenly call our "nature studis" where I let him explore his world. Lately, the fall leaves have been providing a lot of excitment.
He's really a funny and silly kid. He loves to laugh and giggle. It's also very clear that he's ruled by his little ego (as he should at this age). If one of us is holding him in our lap, but talking to someone else, he'll lean forward and smile until we make eye contact. He's just reminding us that the world still revolves around him!
He's really a sweet, sweet baby. I can't believe he's already been here 6 months, and yet I also can't seem to remember what life was like before he was here. It's hard to imagine that there was a time when I didn't know if we'd be blessed with a child. It's also hard to remember what it was like to feel him kick when I was pregnant, and yet not know whether the baby inside was a boy or a girl, or what the baby looked like. If I think about my days in college, or getting married, my mind wants to insert Benji into those memories! It really feels like I've known him forever. Isn't that what people say when they fall in love? Well....I guess that's exactly what has happened!!
We're headed down to NC for Thanksgiving, and we're excited for the trip. Benji should be especially excited. Now that he's exploring solids, he's got an awful lot of good Southern cooking to try for the holidays!
