Bensons First Solid Food

I was finally able to download this clip of Benson's first feeding.  This goes with my previous post.

(Remember to turn down your volume, I am so loud!)

Milestones

Benson is quickly approaching 6 months and has passed several milestones.  Being a proud Mom and also very forgetful I had to blog them so that I can always remember.  

First, our family is experiencing some sleepless nights due to the teething phase.  His two bottom teeth have already cut through and this last week one of his top teeth has started coming in.  This has been bittersweet for us, as we are happy to see some teeth, but also sad because Benson has been miserable (it's not fun to nurse him either).  

Second, we finally decided to give Benson his first rice cereal meal.  He seemed very ready for the meal and loved trying something new.  I'll post the video later.

Last, Benson has become very effective at the army crawl.  I turned around one day and he had made it clear across the room to the dog food. Yuck!  We are going to have to start baby proofing!  He didn't really want to perform for me in this clip so this is the best I can do. Before you watch it make sure you turn down the volume or you will hear my annoying Mommy voice. Lundon says I sound like the crazy Mom on "Just Friends,"... "hello Joyce?"

Trick or Treat

Benson attended his first Halloween party last night.   We decided to go with a Curious George theme, so Lundon went as a banana, Benson went as Curious George and I went as the Man in the Yellow Hat.  We had so much fun at the Hayslip home and they decorated their house so cute  for the party.  Thanks Trinette for inviting us! Benson was very good considering it was way past his bedtime, but the costume did not stay on long.  At least we got a picture:)  Here he is looking a little shocked.

Lundon was such a good sport!

I had to include this last picture because I thought it was Halloween-y.  I have been killing at least a spider a day while Lundon is at school and they all look exactly like this.  They are hairy and huge!  So, of course I had to research them on the internet and all I can figure is that they are wolf spiders and that they don't hurt people.  If any of you out there are experts on spiders, let me know if I am wrong!
