Ben you’re 1 :) You say “ah dah” (all done), “dug” (dog), “kiiiiiiiii” (kitty, always squealed), mama, dada and nana. Although mama and dada probably aren’t real words, more just sounds. You have 5 teeth and numbers 6 and 7 are going to come in soon. They’ve been bothering you a lot lately and you’re chewing on everything again.

No walking on your own yet, but you’re a speedy little crawler. You also like to walk behind your little hippo walker toy. You love pushing your toy cars around and know exactly what buttons to press on other toys to get them to make noise. Who knew all these toys I thought needless and silly would actually entertain you!

Pizza is your favorite food, bananas come a close second. You’re starting to get a little picky, but anything mashed in a banana goes right down.

You’re still a pretty mellow dude but definitely get excited for kitties. And now when daddy comes home from work you get to crazy waving and are all smiles.

Playing with your cars.







Not quite ready to let go.







So handsome!
