17 Days of Benny – Day 7

Day 7 – Month 7

Benny turned 7 months right before Christmas 2012.  He had lost most of his mohawk at this point and his hair was starting to grow longer and longer.  He was all smiles all the time and loved spending time with his family.

We did lot’s of fun stuff that December, including riding on the Polar Express at the Ecotarium and picking out and decorating our Christmas tree.  Benny was really getting into the baby toys and he and Darcy would spend a lot of time on the floor playing.  He also started to sit at night with Darcy and I to read a book.  That’s not to say that he was interested, it was more to get him into the routine.  We were so excited for Christmas that year!IMG_1681 IMG_1685
