Seven Months

What a busy month of milestones and memories. Maybe that is why I haven't posted in a month...oops. So the big man is now sitting all on his own and loves to sit and play with all his new toys he got for Christmas.

He will scoot his legs up when on his tummy but not going anywhere yet. He bounces up and down like a mad man in his exersaucer and will rock his hips back and forth to scoot it across the floor.

He is still a healthy fellow. He is 28 inches long and weighs 20 lbs. He is eating three times a day and we dropped a daytime bottle and are down to four 6oz bottles each day. He loves all fruits and recently discovered blueberries and thinks those are awesome.

He did give us a scare in his 7 month birthday. Mind you I said he can rock/buck his hips and scoot his exersaucer across the room... Well he will do that in your lap as well. Jeremy had him in his lap and he bucked without warning and started to flip off the chair. When he went to catch him he caught his feet and he flipped on his head and landed on the floor head first. He screamed and cried, but Jeremy loaded him to take him to the ER. Amelia and I were out running errands, so we met them there. On the way to ER he started passing out, so Jeremy called 911 and met an ambulance at a fire station in the next town. Bennett was conscious by the time he got to fire station and the ambulance arrived. After getting Children's the did a CT of his head and spine to check for any fracture or bleeds and everything was FINE!!! He just has a huge knot on his head. So little man is a tough guy. If this is any indication of what life is like with boys... I am going to need xanex.... And a really strong prescription

So beside scaring the poop out of us, big man is talking and jabbering away. He is such a joy and growing like a weed.
