You are three months old now! Look at how you smile, and listen to your little laugh. Heidi made you laugh so hard on your camping trip that you got hiccups! Last night you laughed at Sammy making an underwater volcano in the bathtub. Your laugh made Sammy laugh! You are rolling from tummy to back again – all the time. In fact, you like to do it at night, too, so you can “pedal” your bike in bed (this wakes mommy up – time to put you in Sam’s room!!). You’re sleeping 10-12 hours a night and starting to take really regular naps. You’re even putting yourself to sleep now that mommy showed you how. You read a little book about the Hawaii sea creatures and go right to sleep. You’re definitely eyeing our food and want to start eating solids. You’ll have to wait a bit more, though. You get to sit at the table with us now in your little clip-on chair, and biggest news of all – Daddy got you a BACKPACK for your hikes! He brought a brand-spankin’ new pack home from his trip to New York. He got it at The Mountaineer, one of our favorite gear shops in the Adirondacks. I can’t wait to see if you’re big enough to ride in it! OK – you’re up now, waiting for me… We love you very much, Baby Ben! (You big boy!!! I forgot to mention you’re wearing 6 month old clothes and weigh 18 lbs. Everyone – I mean EVERYONE – thinks you’re absolutely huge and tall. People comment all the time, after they comment on your happy smile.)
