Can you believe it? I sure can't believe that you are 6 months old today, Ben! WOW!! A lot has changed since we brought you home from the hospital! You rolled over (back to belly) for the first time on Nov. 23rd while we were in Michigan...although you still aren't rolling over a ton...you are content to be up on your side to reach for toys. I think this is a sign of your personality...a very laid-back/easy going/content/patient little guy! You are sitting up all by yourself too (well, with occasional face plants into the carpet!)...we'll say you did this new skill on Dec. 24th. You are quite proud of yourself that you can sit up...you love this new vantage point & especially enjoy playing/chewing on your toys while sitting! You must be working on getting your first tooth...everything goes in your mouth & you are drooling a ton. You are talking with us too...it's lots of fun to hear your voice...da-da, ta-ta, etc. Your big sister, Jaelyn, always asks me what you are saying! I usually tell her that you're saying you LOVE her lots! Your favorite toys are the jumperoo, giraffe, soccer rattle, & the learning house. Your favorite playmate? Your sister! She can always put a smile on your face & make you giggle! You are going to bed around 8-8:30pm and sleeping until ~8am. You sleep through the night, but it's not a consistent thing yet. I think you are really close to sleeping soundly through the entire night/every night...let's hope so! You are taking 3 naps/day...the morning & afternoon naps are your longer ones & then you need to take a 30-45 min nap around 6pm or so. You weigh: 17 lbs 3 3/4 oz (50%) and are 27 1/4 inches (75%). I can't imagine life without you...you are such a joy & I thank God for you everyday!We love you, Benjamin Jacobus!!
