build a what?

build a monkey because benny already has 57483597 stuffed bears from friends & family as gifts! here we are making him..

i thought he was going to be jumpy about the stuffing machine, especially because i brought him down and let him stand on the foot pump himself but he actually just stood there and watched the lady stuff his little friend in amazement

best friends forever! (picture below is from my iphone) that's also benny's new play gate and play mat which was a very necessary purchase because if i turn the corner for a second he's crawling on the other side of the room and gives me a heart attack :|

today he crawled

with his tush out, diaper falling off.. i loved it a little too much :)

more easter goodies, hello easter bunny!

yah kidding me? look at them baby bluessssssssss

coloring easter eggs.

you wanna know what i like most about being a young mom? i just had to stop believing in the easter bunny, santa, tooth fairy, etc. 6 months ago when my mom told me i take on the role now. it never stopped being fun and now it'll just get better watching benny. i get to live it all over again.

less is more

baby-led weaning

we did it. we got through our first month. already he has made a drastic improvement in what he's eating and how much he's actually taking in.

what is it? it's pretty much a more complicated way of saying that you will be giving them the opportunity to eat what you are eating, no pureed food, learning fine motor skills and picking up their own food/spoon to feed them self at their own pace.

if you are new to baby-led weaning or have never heard of it before, here's where i learned more..
