Benson's 6 Month Check-Up

Benson had his 6 month check-up today. Although he is almost 7 months old he had his 6 month check-up a little late because we've been in Twin Falls for the summer. Sadly, today was our last doctor's appointment with Dr. Shupe because he is retiring at the end of the month. Dr. Shupe has been a great doctor and we will miss having him take care of Benson.

Look at those legs and belly!

Benson now weighs ... 17 pounds 7 ounces!! Yeah, he gained 4 pounds in two and half months! He is almost in the 50th percentile for weight. He is 25 1/4 inches long but only in the 5th percentile. for heighth. I keep saying he is destined to be short and chubby and so far that is proving to be true.

Benson is such a ham around other people. He loves when people talk to him. He smiles and jabbers at anyone who even looks at him and if they talk to him he gets so giddy.
