8 (months) is great!

And that is officially the cheesiest title ever. Sorry folks, but it's late and I just want to get a quick update in before bed. Bennett is doing wonderfully. He eats everything we put in front of him. Well, I take that back. He'll eat anything BUT jarred baby food. Spoiled child will eat anything I make, pureed apricots with cinnamon, roasted cauliflower with garlic, lemon and thyme chicken but try to give him a jar of carrots and turkey, nope. I'm not sure if I'm proud of his discerning tastes or annoyed, since jarred baby food is so much more convenient when we're out and about.

After months of being on the verge of crawling but stubbornly refusing to actually crawl Bennett is officially underfoot. He will crawl, claw, wiggle, twist or scooch his way across the room. It's amazing too see how much more control he has today after a full 24 hours of practicing. He learns so quickly! He's also started pulling himself up on the furniture. I just happened to have the camera out when he did his very first unassisted pull up.
If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you can clearly see Bennett's four teeth. They are huge...and adorable...and very sharp. Don't let him get a hold of your finger, you'll be sorry! :)
Every day Bennett finds something new to entertain him. The other day it was a bag of jelly beans (I LOVE jellybeans and Easter season is the best time of year for jelly beans - so many kinds!). We'd shake the bag and Bennett would laugh and laugh and laugh. How pure is that joy? :)
Bennett is still a huge technophile. Grandma and grandpa spoil hm and let him play with the iPad.
We went on a walk one chilly morning. (Ignore my totally skeevy glasses, I had to borrow some from Mark since I forgot mine.)
Father and son enjoying some quality time.
