Sitting and Spitting

Benson is growing so much and so fast! He's got some new tricks. The first one is him sitting, not on his own, but that is becoming his preferred position. He'll stick his elbows back and push his head forward trying to sit up. The funniest part is the labored look on his face. We have been playing a little game where I help him into the sitting position and give him a horsey ride on my leg while holding his hands. (We've even been seen in the office of Syracuse High School playing on the floor. No shame, none at all.) He loves it so I of course love it too.

Benson is learning that if he reaches his hand out when he sees me he can also feel me. It's so dang cute. This means that he can also reach out and hit his toys and play.

Then the spitting. This isn't the spit-up spitting. This is raspberries and slobber spitting. He's showered my face several times and seems to get a thrill doing it. He's growing so fast and learning so much. Being a mom is more fun than I imagined!
