Freeto Family: 6 months old!

Ben is now 6 months old and has been very busy (hence the lateness of the blog post-sorry!) He has his 2 teeth, and EVERYTHING goes in his mouth now. Those teeth are sharp too so watch out! He is talking more than ever-babbling more with bababa, mamama (I am pretty sure he already calls me Mama-OK, it is nonspecific, but fun to think about) He rolls all the time, and has begun propping himself up on his hands and knees. He is not crawling just yet, but does scoot backwards frequently-we are going to have to start thinking more about childproofing. Ben has been eating cereal, tried zucchini for the last week and (I am sure) is looking forward to squash tonight. He has been going to the daycare at our gym a couple times a week for a change of pace and so I can get in a workout here and there.

We have been hanging out with some old friends (Remy and Camilla) and some new friends (Ty and Hugo) and have been continuing to explore new areas of Tucson. The weather has been beautiful (80s and sunny-don't hate us!) which helps a lot.

My parents were just in town for a visit and we had a great time. Ben gets to Skype with them frequently, so he recognizes them and was able to enjoy their visit. Grandma took lots of pictures...see below.

Hope you are all well-many of you in the snowy, cold NE. Feel free to visit-you really can't beat the weather here! Ben's 6 month check-up is this Friday, so we will have updated "stats" for you after our visit with his pediatrician.
