Even pearls are dark before the whiteness of his teeth.

That's right folks, we're up to 4 pearly whites in the little man's mouth!



These two top ones coming in made for a very stressful teething time.

One night of constant crying was more than I could handle!



Benjamin has become more vocal this month. Mastering some "babababababababa" and of course, the one that melts my heart, "mamamamamama." He also likes to practice "fffffffffffffffffffffffffffssssssssssss" and "mmmmmmm mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm"  It's pretty cute!



He's also discovered that he can get up on his hands and knees and rock. He will get on his belly and use his arms and legs to spin 360* and squirm around a room. I swear I saw him take 2 crawling "steps" last night, but I dont think he realized what he was doing because as soon as he was able to reach the toy he stopped and reached for it on his belly with a little squirm. That's okay though, he's SO close!!

Because he can get up on his knees he's also really good at sitting up by himself. A few times in the past several nights I've gone into his room after putting him down for the night to find him sitting up in his bed playing and talking to himself! I've not witnessed how he goes from his back to sitting, but it really makes me want to get a camera in his room!

We got a new stroller! The one we got to put his carseat in had become cumbersome. With a 21lb baby to tote around, it's much easier to leave the carseat in the car. Plus this new stroller drives like a dream compared to the old one!
