Ben's Turn

Bennie, Ben, Ben....that's what we say around here!  My little guy isn't so little anymore and it's taken me until almost 14 months of age to get some 1 year photos online...sorry kiddo.  Second child and all...

Proud Little Man

Definitely a Mama's boy!

LUVS his Binkie, too!

Here's some of the latest things going on in his world:

*Still scooting around instead of walking, but will walk if his hands are held.

*Crawling up the stairs and learning to come down backwards (with my standing guard of course,  Grandma's)!  He's thrilled with himself.

*Finally getting that pesky 4th front bottom tooth!

*Drinking mostly from a sippy cup now, with a bottle at bedtime.
*Riding your riding toys around the house - learned how to go forwards this week!  Most fun is banging into objects over and over.
*Still fascinated with wheels and cars.
*Says "car", "whee", "No", "Ba" (bottle), "Bi" (Binkie), "roun, roun" (round & round).  Talks all the time...in his own language!
*Climbing and going down the little slide in our basement into the ball pit.
*Climbing onto/sitting on the large play table - actually, climbing or sitting on anything he can (books, toys, games...)
*Really good at playing by himself most of the time
*VERY bad separation anxiety with Mommy for a few weeks now! 
*"Chasing" his big Sis around the house with high-pitched screaming ("girl screams") from both of them.  Hey...at least they're not hurting each other!
*BAD temper when you don't get your way...we've got to work on that.

Wonderful days - they'll be gone too quickly!  Love you Baby Boy.
