Bennett Kuma Update!

Well our house has been quite busy! We have been enjoying our time home with our little boy! I thought I would update everyone on what is going on.
*
Bennett Kuma started getting a rash while we were in Ethiopia and it is all over his belly and his forehead. We thought it was an allergic reaction but it never went away so I took him to the doctor yesterday and we found out that it is from a virus that he had gotten. He acts fine but I guess thats what it was. Hoping that will clear up soon.
*
He is teething and likes to chew on everything! Hopefully those little teeth will be popping up soon. He loves all toys. Anything that lights up and makes noise he LOVES! He loves his play mat, his jumper, and his light up and singing stuffed animals!
He got home to enjoy his first UL/UK game! Too bad we lost. He loves to watch tv and especially if there is sports on he likes it! Haha. He is definately his daddy's boy.

We have started him on some solid foods. He loves rice cereal. He also loves bananas. He makes this funny face but he really likes it, I promise :)

Him and Mercedes are getting used to each other. This picture is of them playing with her duck, it was too funny. Mercedes mainly ignores him and just wants to lay on momma's lap.
*
Bennett Kuma can say "dada" and has ever since the first day he was with us!
*
He can roll over and over and over. He loves rolling over.
*
He is working on crawling....he can army crawl if he really wants something and it is not too far away.
*
He can't quite sit up on his own yet but we are working on it. He can if he is supported.
