Bennett @ 6 and 7 months

Bennett @ 6 months

Bennett @ 6 months ~ October 2016

I'm totally behind because Bennett's 6month well visit wasn't until he was almost 7 months old. So I'm behind.
He is such a happy baby! He has 2 teeth and is sitting up, but not quiet 100% as he still has his tumbles every once in awhile.
He's gross, this must be a boy thing. I've physically seen Bennett poop twice now, and I've NEVER seen Helena poop (going on the potty doesn't count). His dirty diapers are so much worst to what I remember Helena's being.
He started a family sickness at the beginning of November. But thankfully it was short lived, but had me worried since I had never had a baby at that age throw-up.
He's eating and wants to eat our food so bad, but I'm just not comfortable feeding him table food yet. He loves, like really really loves Helena. Helena is more so just annoyed by him, but sometimes she'll humor him and give him good attention.
He still isn't a fan of being on his tummy, and usually just rolls over which makes me think crawling is nowhere in sight. Which is weird because Helena was crawling by the time she was 7 months old. He loves to play with toys and touch different textures.
He's ticklish. This just cracks me up. You tickle his belly and he gives you a full on belly laugh. It's so amazing.
He loves the water and kicks up a storm while taking a bath.
He usually wakes up super happy which I feel totally blessed by because Helena has the same personality trait.
He's super laid back and doesn't mind coming along to all of Helena's activities. He sorta takes two naps a day. He'll take a short one in the morning in-between errands, outings, and activities, then a longer one in the afternoon during Helena's nap. Then he is usually down for the night between 8:30 and 9 and up in the morning around 7.
I'm pretty sure his blue eyes are going to stick around, which it is just crazy to me knowing I have a blue-eyed baby boy. He definitely has Chris's coloring and him and Helena look nothing alike.
I love him so and I'm so blessed by this beautiful baby boy.
