New pics of Ben, 9 months

 Ben's official eye color: grey, with hints of green and brown.

We finally found some baby swings at a park nearby (discovered while we were taking his Easter pics).  He loved it!

Ben’s newest trick is pulling himself into a sitting position from laying on his back, like he’s doing a sit-up.  And he's starting to realize that he is mobile.  He's been able to roll over for a few months, but never showed any real interest in it, until now.  All this hard work!  Yesterday for lunch he ate 4T rice cereal, over 1/2 baby food jar of fish, 2T carrots, 3T ricotta, several bites of my pear, and 2 cookies.  Then he slept for 3.5 hours!  And that was after a 2 hour morning nap.

Since we couldn’t find cheerios, we gave him rice krispies (thanks for the suggestion, Trish!).  He first has to scatter them all around his tray, and a few on the floor, but then he starts eating them.  Once we gave him banana pieces and krispies at the same time.  Not really a good idea, because the rice krispies got sticky and all over everything!
