Bennett is 6 months old!

I keep saying it, but I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!  Bennett (or "Benny", as Logan has nicknamed him) turned 6 months old on December 5th!  Bennett had a great well baby check up with Dr. Gilmartin and is growing and developing right on track!  We get to try more foods (Bennett is a champ with rice cereal already) and even start playing with a sippy cup!

BENNETT'S STATS:
17 pounds, 12 ounces
27.9 inches

We have another big boy on our hands and we love it!  Click here to see Logan's six month blog post.

Bennett is a pro at rolling over and is getting better each day at sitting up on his own.  He's currently in the "tri-pod" phase of sitting up (using his hands between his legs to prop himself up when he sits).  Bennett is a talker!  He doesn't give us much quiet time around the house...not that there would be much with Logan around anyway!  He squeals and giggles constantly: proving that he's the happy baby we think he is!

Lately we've noticed a bond between Logan and Bennett.  Logan is the best at making Bennett laugh.  Logan has nicknamed Bennett "Benny" and rarely calls him anything else.  Logan wakes up wondering where Benny is; and has to tell Benny good night before bed.  Its really amazing to watch the sibling bond form and I just can't imagine what fun we are in for with these two boys!

Bennett loves to watch Logan play and will soon join in!  Bennett scoots himself around when laying on his back...usually in the direction of the action.  I can tell he is dying to pick up a ball and play catch with Logan.  I know that day will come before I am ready!

Bennett is such a ham!  He LOVES to smile and giggle.  All it takes is just one glance in his direction and he melts.  He gives the biggest, more genuine little grins...we always get comments on his sweet smiles and big blue eyes.  He's a knockout, for sure.

I have some great videos to post, but I need John to help me, so hopefully I can put them on later this week.  For now, here are the most recent photos of the brothers (taken last week)...poor Benny was getting squished!
