I think I have mentioned before how Steve thinks Ben will skip crawling and go right into walking. It's true that Ben shows more interest in standing than sitting. Grandma/Grandpa Schultz have been standing him up in his pack-n-play and he just holds on and has a good ol' time. Steve and I have also noticed that Ben will do the same in the crib if you help him stand and grab on the rails.
Although Ben sure likes to stand, I'm still not sure walking will come before crawling, and it seems to me like he has not a lot of interest in doing any but rolling to get where he wants to be. I'm in no rush though, because as soon as he starts really moving we'll have to baby-proof the apartment! I'm just amazed by how much he changes every day; even if he isn't walking yet!
Ben is also testing out his new teeth. Beyond trying out new foods - he likes to give love-bites every once in a while. He'll enthusiastically grab a fist full of hair, or take his little hands and grab either side of your face, and takes a BIG BITE on your jaw or ear lobe. Sounds cute, right? One thing -- it hurts! It makes me laugh every time, but I also have to gently tell Ben that it hurts. I know he doesn't understand, but you can never start teaching right from wrong too early, right? Ben has such a goofy grin with those little teeth popping through.

Anne was looking at a picture of Ben yesterday and tried to say his name!! She really likes words that start with b, and it sounded like "Beh." She said it a few times while I pointed to his picture. Cute, eh?
