{Ben: 8 Months Old}

My sweet Ben is 8 months old today and he is celebrating by trying to get in his top two teeth which is causing him a great deal of pain.  It has been a hard few days for him.  Sleeping and naps are hard to come by and tears are flowing.  So we have had lots of soothing, nursing, rocking and holding, and we hope he will be back to himself in the next few days.  It is hard to see him like this...

This has been a big month for him -- taking a bottle, crawling, pulling up, eating puffs and much more.  It is all so exciting yet we need a few days to get back to our happy self.  Happy 8 Months my little 28 pound turkey!
