Ben is really good at sitting up now, and his favorite toys are his musical farm (not pictured), his blocks (pic taken 2/9)...
When he's sitting up and needs to get something, he's able to scoot over to it. He can crawl, but hasn't yet figured out a way to go from sitting to prone, or back. So, he basically crawls if he's on his stomach and scoots if he's on his butt. Here he is right before he figured out how to crawl forward. He crawled backward for a while and it always seemed to confuse him.
... and anything that will roll. Generally, that's a ball of some sort, but he'll roll his blocks as well. It's pretty funny to watch.
He's started eating "big boy food", and can feed himself. Here he is eating mashed potatoes, but that's a mess. We usually give him bananas, bread, blueberries, and cut up carrots or beans. Bananas are his favorite though.

Here he is a month ago at Easter time, coloring eggs with Mommy.
He has 2 teeth now, and is waving a lot. He also likes to pull himself up to stand by the couch, but he needs something to grip, like my hands, while doing so. Once he's up there, we're able to get him to stumble from side to side to chase after a ball.
He's yelling at me now because naptime is over.
I'll post more frequently, I promise.
