Ben turned 16 months old this week. He is becoming such a little boy these days.
Some new things he is doing:
-Giving hugs and kisses (SO sweet)
-Learning to count-I always give him his dirty clothes to put in the hamper and I count each piece as he throws them in and after I say one he says two
-New words-Pa, dog, baby, TV, Two, Nak (snack), cheese, please, no
-He calls me Momma and Nana (Dana but with a N), I certainly don't want to be called by my first name, but the way he says it is very cute
-He loves to point out all dogs, babies, and choo choo trains. We can barely hear the trains at our house and I don't even notice them, but Ben always hears them and repeatedly says choo choo!
-Ben has started to say cheese for the camara. I keep trying to get it on video because it is so cute.
-Has developed quite the silly personality. I think he might be a little comedian in a few years.
-Weighed 23.6 pounds at this doctor's appointment a couple weeks ago
50th percentile for height and 35th percentile for weight which is great since he got down to the tenth percentile
-Loves knocking over towers of blocks
-Is taking a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon, which is wonderful, except he wakes up a couple of times and I have to go in there and get him back to sleep.
-Has learned to unlock my phone and make phone calls (He called the ranch yesterday. I think he is ready for his Granny and Pa to come home from Colorado
-Has becoming quite the climber
-Whenever asked a question he says no and shakes his head. Normally I wouldn't be happy about this, but the way he does it is really cute and sweet.
-Ben now has 10 teeth
-This next month if I can get everything worked out he will be starting "school" twice a week for a few hours.
Playing with play-do for the first time.
