My good little boy

Ben continues to be an easy baby, and while we would be lucky no matter what Ben's temperament, I do feel very fortunate that he's so easy to care for. He naps well, sleeps well at night, and is also a good eater. I know his routine inside and out and he generally has what he needs before he asks (read: screams) for it. Overall, this results in him being a, generally, happy boy (unless he's cutting teeth, but who can blame him??)

Ben's learned to fall asleep on his own, rarely wanting his soother. I put him in his crib, he usually babbles and plays for a few moments, then he falls right to sleep. I've sat and watched him fall asleep and it's interesting; a bit of flailing, kicking, and rolling, then he's out. Insert a bit of groaning there too.

He's still a big fan of knocking things together... blocks, balls, whatever. And occassionally the cat gets a knock on the head with a block (or Mommy or Daddy, truth be told.)

Another trick of Ben's is to run things (toys or his fist) over his opened mouth to make a "wa-wa-wa-wa" sound. It's pretty cute. And when he gets excited he makes an airy sounding "ah-ah-ahhh" sound, as seen in this video (of course in this case it was prompted by Mommy.)

And of course, this entry wouldn't be complete without some photos!

Inhale.

And exhale. Ahhhh.
Balls are supposed to go into the holes to make the dino light up and play music, but Ben figured out where the trigger was so he just pushes the button with his hand.
And here he is looking pretty proud of himself.
And here's a gratuitous "I'm cute" pic.
