New Stuff

Ben is growing so fast - it seems even more so lately for some reason. He's talking a lot and is soaking up EVERYTHING! Some of his newest words are: Mess, heavy, wet, cooking, making, bite, pickles, spoon(poon), thumb, pumpkin (punkin), pull, push, climb, help, please, flower, rice, climb, gone, done, again, fix it (sounds like fic it, while he hammers on something needing "fixing") and flip flop (it comes out flop op!). We got him some fake food and he loves to use my pans and pretend he's cooking. He loves to climb onto anything - the couch is his favorite. He is a big helper around the house lately. He loves to help with laundry (hallelujah!), dusting, and vaccuming. More than anything, he LOVES playing with daddy. He gets so excited when Mario comes home every night. He is also becoming a little sneaky too! The other day, he was being a bit naughty, so I put him in a little time-out. Well, he was crying and going on and on (and that was fine by me), but then he said so desperately "huuugggg" - so needless to say, I gave in on that one! He's still really into his books and loves us to read to him. We just recently went to Missoula, Montana to get some pictures taken and most of them turned out great.
