6


Ben is six months old!
And he just couldn't get there fast enough.


He is so curious, so cute, so cuddly! And soooo cool.
When I was pregnant I used to think how could anybody ever live up to Lia? But he is just as perfect. Go figure.


And just like his big sister, Ben is throwing himself at the world. Can't figure things out fast enough! In his baby class, Ben is getting special assignments, as he is ahead of everyone else. He is trying hard to stand out from the immature lot, the little geek! But even if his hair and jeans have the perfect cut, he can't fool us! He's still our little Baby Ben.


With two bottom teeth shining through, it was time to introduce The Spoon.


It was very easy to convince his bib to eat, whereas Ben was rather skeptic. (Unlike his sister, who was born with a Gerber spoon in her hand and emptied her first bowl of puree in one go.) It was like Ben didn't really know what to do and why the hell I was trying to paint his face orange.

Open your mouth, birdie!

Bon appetit, little pumpkin.

Alles gute zum Halbjährigen! Und die Haare sind nach wie vor der Hammer, da wäre manch Zweijährige(r) neidisch.

Happy 6 months! We feel bad now as we didn't really do anything special to celebrate Aiden's 6 months. We are very impressed and proud of all of your achievements! You go Ben!

Happy 6 months from over here, too. Can't wait to see you guys next week! Will properly admire all that crawling then, little man! Wasn't it only yesterday you lay there in your tent flat on your back only making funny bear sounds? Please stop growing so fast! Why the hurry? Next thing we know you'll be asking for Daddy's car keys.
