19 Month Update

On this momentous day of 10-10-10 Ben is 19 months old. He hasn't added a lot of skills or words, but rather perfected some of the ones he already had. Just when I think he can't possibly get any more independent, he finds something else that he wants to do all by himself. It is a lot of fun to watch him learn and try. He is getting pretty good at taking his clothes off for bath time. He desperately wants to put on and take off his own shoes, but he can't get it yet.

The only words he added (that I can think of) is Grandpa and Nana after their visit. He practices saying that in the crib when he is falling asleep for his nap. He calls our friend Tina "Nana" because they sound so similar.

My brain isn't coming up with much more to update you. It has been quite a weekend. Ben ran a fever all day Friday and just preferred to cuddle and give hugs and kisses all day. We had a sitter lined up that we had to cancel. Then, Saturday, he was perfectly well. Today, Ryan is running a slight fever and not feeling well. Our sitter had graciously rescheduled for tonight, but we had to cancel again. I can't get a break...ha.

Enjoy the pictures.

This boy loves yogurt!

Pants on the ground...still a little big.

Helping Mommy cook - he snatched them out of the drawer and put them on all by himself. And spread all the utensils on the ground by himself too :)

My handsome boys.

This one is a little old, but I like it. We were walking at the nature center.

Two-fisted eating and a "smile for the camera."

Having a play date with our friends Tina and Jackson.

I lovingly call this picture "doofus!"
