Ben is pushing up on his hands

We are very excited to see Ben pushing up on his hands! He is also rolling from both from his back onto his belly and from his belly onto his back. He's no longer content to watch the world from a lying position; he wants to be in a sitting position, so he spends a lot of time in his highchair now too. He likes the change of scenery :) Another really exciting progression is that he has started pushing up on his hands when lying on his belly - exactly what he needs to learn to crawl. He can pull his legs underneath his little bottom so he's got that part down. He has started babbling and some days just talks up a storm.

Chloe is so sweet to Ben. Yesterday he wasn't feeling well, and she went up to him and said, "Ben, I love you soooo much". Then she kissed him on the head, and patted him and walked back to her kitchen to make some more milk with orange juice and chocolate - her favorite drink.

Catherine said...
