Ben has successfully completed 39 weeks outside the womb after his 39 weeks in the womb! I feel like the 39 weeks on the outside have gone much faster than my 39 weeks of pregnancy.

Ben is now a crawler! He started about a week ago and has now fully mastered it! Yesterday he also pulled himself up on the coffee table to a standing position! And he is cutting his third tooth. It's been a big milestone week at the Rupp Household! NO is a word we must say a hundred times a day now. And each time we say it Ben starts to cry. He also will cry when Miles barks now. Not sure why he got so sensitive all the sudden but hopefully it is just a short phase. Ben is all about people food now. He wants what is on everyones plate! He has started to eat more real food and less baby food. He thinks whenever he sees someone eating that he should be eating. And wants bites of everything! He still doesn't like bananas. Grandpa tried to give him some at lunch a few weeks ago and he just took them and threw them on the ground. I can't believe he doesn't like them-I love them and ate them everyday I was pregnant. Maybe he will come around to them one day! Other than that he will eat just about anything. He just got his third haircut last week. It is amazing to me how much hair this kid has and how fast it grows.

Big Boy Bath

I feel like lately I have been packing more and more "baby stuff" away. And last week it was the time to pack away the baby bathtub. Ben loves his big boy baths!
