Letters to Benjamin

Dear Baby Boy,

I wish I would have started writing these letters earlier, but I've been too busy staring at your perfect face. You are already 6 months old! I just can't believe it. You're turning into such an inquisitive little boy. This has been a big couple of months for you! So far you've learned to grab your feet (Jan. 9th), roll from front to back (Jan. 16th) AND back to front (Jan. 22nd). Just in the last few days you've started rolling so much that if we set you down and look away for just a second you're in a completely different place. You started solids on your 5 month birthday and are thoroughly enjoying them. So far you've had rice cereal, bananas, peas, sweet potatoes, pears, peaches and squash. You love to feed yourself by grabbing the spoon out of my hands and sticking it right into your mouth. And of course you love to get it all over the place a make a big mess :) I'm hoping we can start giving you more exciting flavors soon so you can love all of the delicious ethnic food your daddy and I love so much. Also very exciting is your first tooth! I noticed it during your bath (Feb. 16th) just getting ready to poke through, and now it's definitely on it's way out. I wasn't sure when you'd get your first tooth, but since 6 months is the average you're right on schedule. Suffice it to say, you've been a busy boy.

So many things are happening so quickly, and I can barely keep up. But it's good for me to try, so keep impressing me little mister. You amaze me everyday!

Love,
Mama
