Ben VS Pretzel #2



Well, back in May, Ben's entire body was bigger than a jumbo pretzel.
Now, his big ole melon head is bigger than a handmade PA Dutch pretzel.

At Ben's 6 month check-up, Ben's head size was in the 81st % on the growth chart. His weight and height were 30% and 25% respectively. A bit out of proportion, but cute as a button ~ a button with a very big head ~ but cute nonetheless.

In addition to growing lots of brains, Ben has been known to:
  • Roll from back to front (he hasn't quite made it front to back yet. We think his big budda belly is in the way)
  • Sit unassisted for more than a blink of an eye.
  • Realize that there's a world behind him, so he keeps turning his head from side to side.
  • Eat cartons of sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots in one sitting.
  • Grab with precision (especially Momma P's hair)
  • Chat up a storm
