Bennett had his 6 month check-up today. Here are his stats:
Weight: 19 lbs 3.5 oz (75-90%)
Height: 27 3/4 inches (90%)
Head circumference: 18 1/4 inches (97%)
So, he is still growing well and looks like he will be tall like Daddy!

Happy Half Birthday Bennett!
Bennett turned 6 months old yesterday. It is hard to believe it has been 6 months since he was born. I am so grateful for him. He is such a sweet and content baby.
He tried rice cereal for the first time yesterday. Just like his sisters, he was not too keen on it and kept looking at me like, "If this is what food is all about, I'll pass". Surprisingly though, he ended up finishing all the cereal despite not really enjoying it. He must know he has to get through a couple weeks of rice cereal before he gets more flavor!
Here is some info about our little guy:
1. He is a charmer and loves to smile at anyone.
2. He loves to flip onto his belly. He can roll the other way as well, but hardly ever does. He just likes to flip onto his belly and then look around at all the action.
3. His sisters amuse him. He watches them run around with this amused/fascinated look on his face.
4. He is currently fitting into 9-12 month shirts and 6-9 month pants and 12 month pajamas. He has a long torso like his Daddy.
5. He still loves bath time although with winter coming he hates the colder air after the bath.
6. He still wakes up frequently during the nighttime. Good thing he is cute or it might make for one angry mama.
7. He still sleeps swaddled. He is becoming skilled at getting his arms out of the swaddle blanket and then scratching his forehead like crazy. This probably accounts for half of the time he wakes up at night. Usually he just needs wrapped back up so he doesn't attack himself!
8. He still spits up a ton. Once again, good thing he is cute!
9. He likes to sit in his little Bebepod chair at the dinner table and watch the girls eat. It is hard to get the girls to focus on eating because they love to get him to smile/laugh at them.
10. He makes me smile. Everyday. He is just that sweet that I can't get enough of him. Ever.
I can't wait for the next 6 months with you little guy! I absolutely adore you.
Not newborn-sized anymore:
Loved (sometimes a little too much) by his sisters:
"What is this stuff?":
"There Mom, I finished it....can I have something else now?":

Sisters = Built-in Best Friends
Jadyn and Maya really are best friends. They do everything together. Sure, they fight occasionally, but for the most part they play very well together. Here is one of their favorite activities to do together: read books!

Shh! Eating Batter :)
I am starting to find more ways that Maya and I are alike. She enjoys cookie batter as much as I do. Today I was making cookies with the girls and Maya wanted to lick the spoon like she saw me doing. After that, I couldn't pull her away from the bowl!
Jadyn, the ever careful little soul that she is, was chastising both of us because the batter had raw eggs in it. She said, "Mom why are you eating that if it has raw eggs?" When I told her that I was weak and I liked it too much not to eat it, she declared, "Well, I don't want to get sick so I am not going to eat it!".

Pure pleasure:
