This past week, we celebrated our Benjamin's 9 months of life! We got to celebrate with grandma and grandpa coming into town which has been a blast (pictures/post to come)!
Benjamin is such a neat little baby! He seems to be content most all of the time and smiles at everyone! Just a couple weeks ago, was the first and only time he has shown any type of stranger anxiety, which is very different from his big brother! He seems to have a more timid side which expresses itself with a coy-like grin at times and a head bow when anyone claps and says, "yay, Benjamin!"
Benjamin has learned to army crawl since his last monthly update and is getting into EVERYTHING! Thankfully, we live in a tiny 300 sq. ft. apartment so there's not much to get into, but I definitely see cabinet locks and outlet covers in our future!
This little guy loves to be around people. He seems content to play on his own at times, but would much rather be surrounded by his momma, abba, and big brother. Speaking of big brother, he just LOVES Samuel and following him around. Samuel is {slowly} learning that Benjamin is one of those kids he's going to have to share with now ;) It can be challenging, but it is very sweet to see Samuel learning to be kind and sharing with his little bro. He also likes to share milk, nuts, small trinket toys, and chocolate...
Benjamin is an eating machine! He will eat everything and anything we give him (or that he finds in random places). I feel like he's eating more table food at an earlier age than Samuel did, which makes it easier if we don't have baby food on hand. Benjamin is 100% weaned which has been a nice transition. I truly enjoyed my time nursing him, but it seemed time to end that stage with him. He is doing great and loves the bottle!
All in all, Benjamin is such a pleasant baby and we have, once again, been blessed beyond measure by God. He showed us great favor giving us the boys that He did. Such a good God!
