7 Months Old

Okay, I know it is pretty ridiculous to put up this post when Bennett will be 8 months old this week, but life is busy, so it is the best I could do:)

This post will be overkill for all but the most loyal followers. I think 7 months will go down as the "funny face" month. It started with what we call "bugie face." It is pretty self-explanatory, but he scrunches up his nose like there is a bugie in there and then huffs and puffs! So funny. "Bugie face" has morphed into some kind of Elvis impersonation where he gets his lips and eyebrows involved. Andy and I like to think we have pretty big senses of humor and it seems the girls do as well. Bennett appears to be developing his earlier still, so we are waiting to see what kind of jokester he turns out to be!

One of these pictures was not enough to show all his faces, so I had to put almost the entire photo session so you could get the real affect! My wish for the next year is to get a really nice camera with a fast shutter speed. I think anyone with more than one child realizes the benefit of a fast shutter speed!

"You're not taking my picture are you?"

" I'm just going to eat my paper" Can you see the pink tights behind him? See the tights moved?

This is kind of a combo of "bugie" and Elvis

This was new for this day. It looks like he is about to cry, but he was very happy

Showing me just how much he likes the paper

Now Mr B is trying to grab mommy's face, his favorite toy:)

Back to the paper

I gave up with Bennett and the paper and asked the girls who desperately wanted to join to come and help. The result wasn't too much more successful!

It is blurry, but at least they are all smiling and looking at the camera. That in itself is a miracle!

I love this one!

Apparently everyone has lost focus!

There's "bugie face."

Ahh...sweet sisters!

I tried one more time to lay him on his back to get some pictures, but he found my face and camera too interesting!

Trying from above

Nope

So cute my little clown!

Onto the latest stats. At a sick appointment Bennett was 16lbs, so he continues to fill out! He still HATES his tummy, but he is a wonderful, stable sitter. He wants to sit or jump all the time. He will reach and get on his knees, so we are waiting to see what develops with that. I am not encouraging crawling, but I think he might do it without my encouragement! The time is on fast forward!

I love you sweet boy, bugies and all!
