Milestones

Ben is 9 months old already. I can hardly keep up with all the milestones he has been reaching. Here are just a few of the things my little Benny Bear can do now that he wasn't doing just last month:

- He can wave. So cute. I just love it. He even knows when to use it. Daddy comes in the door and immediately he starts frantically waving.

- He can clap. He loves clapping for his brothers.

- He can go from lying down to sitting up by himself. An extremely useful tool, unless he does it accidentally when he is sleeping, and then wakes himself up, confused as to where he is.

- He can pull himself up to a standing position using me as the ladder.

- He can now crawl over to the boys, sit himself up, and proceed to play cars with them. This thrills him to no end. You can tell he feels like such a big boy.

- He drinks out of a sippy cup, and ends each sip with an "Ahhhhhh". Such a funny little poopsie.

- And my personal fav, he gives kissies. So cute too because he seems to think that kisses are super funny and laughs every time he gives a kiss making them even sweeter. So precious.

My little baby bear is growing up too fast. They all are, really. Now I know why that cliche is so popular.

I'm off to give the boys haircuts. I would appreciate it if you could all keep your fingers crossed for me. It is only my second or third time doing this, and I really have to struggle to make sure they don't end up looking like Alfalfa

or Porky Pig.
