Benjamin is doing well - he had a stomach virus that kept him pretty unhappy for a couple weeks, but he is now over that thank goodness. We have had lots of visitors the past few weeks - Aunt Christy, Uncle Mike, Gabriel, Grandma, Popi and Grammy! We have really enjoyed the company. We have also gone on several outings lately including Ben's first trip to the mall. He loved looking around at all the people and wanted to be out of his stroller so he could see better!
Now that Ben is almost 6 months old, he is desperately trying to crawl. He is not there yet, but it always amazes us how he manages to move around in his crib. He does have really strong legs and can briefly balance himself standing against furniture. One of his favorite activities these days is petting Hannah. He looks for her when he hears the bell on her collar and he likes to grab her fur and her ears. Hannah is amazingly patient with him. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't let me and Josh pet her like that.
We have not been so good about taking pictures lately, but here are a few from the past week.
