A few exciting things have happened the past few weeks. Ben has started talking differently. Before, he was very vocal all the time, but now it's more controlled ooos and aaahs in varying pitches. It's soooo darn cute! We've caught some of it on video. It makes me so happy to hear him talk away, especially since he's usually smiling so big when he's talking!
Last week, Ben also laughed for the first time. It was the sweetest sound I've ever heard. I was in the laundry room and Joel was playing with him on the couch. I heard it the first time he did it, so I came out in time to see him do it again. I cried a little :) He hasn't really laughed since then. He does a really happy sounding noise, but not a full on laugh. It's fun trying to find out what kind of things make him smile or make the happy noise.
Ben has also started to roll over from his back to his front in one direction. Yesterday was the first time that he managed to get all the way over his shoulder and into a full-on tummy time position. He likes tummy time a lot more when he's able to put himself there.
I've noticed that my feelings for Ben the last few weeks have grown even more. I'm starting to see more of his unique personality and seeing him as his own little person. Lately, I feel more attached to him than ever...maybe it's because I've been thinking so much about going back to work. Whatever it is, I can't resist having him sleep in my arms. It's a bad habit...but I loooove nursing him to sleep and then letting him take his naps on my chest. I'm afraid I might be paying for it now, though...the last few nights he has slept horribly! I'm afraid I've spoiled him and he just wants to sleep with me. Oooops.
Lindsay and Adam had their little girl, Hailey, today!! They texted us the sweetest pciture of Lindsay and Hailey, but I haven't gotten any of the details yet. I'm excited to see the sweet little newborn! I was looking at Ben today as he was trying to hold himself in a sitting position. Sheesh, I hardly feel like I can call him a 'baby'. Obviously he's not a toddler, but it seems like there should be another term for these little ones who have grown and learned so much in their few short months!

I love reading your blog posts :) What an angel :) I love him so much! Was he really sitting on his own!?!?! And he can roll from back to front????? I think that's the hardest way to roll! He's an athlete!
Haha, no, he's not sitting on his own :) but he's perfecting his roll!
