Ben has been with us for 4 months and it almost doesn't seem real. He has changed so much since we first met him and every day brings something new and exciting. He has become so much more responsive. He can smile and laugh with his whole body. He can play with toys, pull a blanket over his face and pull our faces together. As parents, we have worked into a nice routine. Kristina and I compliment one another well and it's really fun to watch us grow along with Ben.
Ben had a doctor's appointment recently and everything checked out without any problem. The big news, though, was that we can start feeding him rice cereal and even vegetables. We started on the rice cereal and it's pretty hilarious. When Kristina holds the spoon 3 inches from his mouth, he dive bombs onto it and inhales the whole thing. He loves food. Kristina said, "Well, he is your son!"
Tonight, he reached for his bottle and, after a couple of minutes of assisting, he held it on his own. He just held it and ate the rest of the thing. It made my life a bit easier and was completely freaking adorable.
I've included a few pictures from the past month. If you compare them to when he was first born, you won't be able to recognize him.
