Baby Beckham turned 8


Ben celebrated his 8 month b-day in the Holy Land!
And even though Ben was held and cuddled 90 % of the time, he used every free second to work on his developmental milestones, which he prouldly presented on his birthday. In Israel Ben learned to clap his hands and say "Da-da-da!"
And his greatest achievement? Sitting up straight! Aaah, nicely done.

Yes, he was sitting a second ago, just before being cuddled again, by his big sister. Squeeze!


And being cuddled again by Lee,


... and cuddled by Anat,


... and ... oooh ... yes! Sitting up straight! All alone, finally. Phew.


A short pleasure, before being ... well, you know.


Time to lay back and relax. And practice some more da-da-das!

Those are some really cute pictures! Love the last one.

Go, Ben!

Hope you're feeling better, Nirit?

So ein süßer Zwerg... und nu isser ja schon fast 9 Monate alt... (Denn das ist ja schließlich der Abstand zum bald überfälligen Baby Leo) ...

Alexandra said...

PS Are you ever going to explain WHY he's been given that mysterious nickname?

Uli said...

What do you mean, Alex? "Baby Beckham"? Duh. I would guess it's NOT for bending it like Beckham just yet (but there might be some potential, who knows?)

Check online for certain resemblances ca. 2002, I would say. You may have to take some older Ben pictures for reference, though.
