Sitting!

My sweet happy boy



Ben can now sit up very well! He still will lose his balance on occasion and fall backwards or to the side, so he still needs to be watched carefully. I like to put him on the bad to practice because he can be on his own and fall over and it won't hurt! Last night he was sitting on the changing table and I was putting lotion on him, he tipped over and banged his head on the window sill. It made a loud sound and Ben did the open mouthed no sound coming out cry....way to go me... geez!
We started applesauce this morning. He either likes it better than sweet potatoes or is getting more accustomed to solids. He didn't spit it out and didn't clamp his mouth shut. He really likes to chew on the washcloth that I use to wipe his face so when we are done I rinse it in really cold water and give it to him. Yesterday when I was feeding him sweet potatoes he was blowing raspberries every time I would put them in his mouth...not happy raspberries, mad ones - so I ended up with sweet potato in my hair, on my face and my clothes! I had to start holding the wash cloth in front of him every time I gave him a bite!
