Ben learned to crawl last week, and that felt like a pretty big milestone… except he pulled himself up to stand the very next day and he would very much rather do this all day every day. He requires a constant spotter, because he also doesn’t seem to know that he still needs to hold on. He is SO happy and proud whenever he is standing up and it’s so cute. I’m getting the impression that he will not rest until he can stand up on his own (and then walk). (Incidentally, the thing that does get him to crawl is Luna; it won’t be long before he is chasing her all around the house.)
In 2015, I’m taking a photo of Ben each week with my real camera.
she likes stripes 
Way to go Ben! It’s great that he has Luna to chase after too, since she’ll give him plenty of exercise. Also if you haven’t started babyproofing, now’s the time 🙂
hahaha oh man we’re learning that very quickly. And i’m really hoping Ben and Luna will be great friends. So far, it’s looking good (as far as Luna tolerating him).
I like how you used the “I could only get the super-colorful gates because those were the only ones at the right height” excuse; they match your place – and your personality – perfectly! Love them. Also, Ben is adorable.
hahaha well it was true! (although i could have bought the white version).
Ben! You little stud! 🙂
