Easter Benny

Our first overnight trip!

We left on Wednesday night to visit the Ahlgrims! We had a great time. Benjamin loved hanging out with his cousins. Here are some pictures from my mom's camera. (Would you believe we forgot our camera and video recorder!!)

At the dinner table

Benjamin now calls me (Linda) "Papa". Both Ed and I are papa. It has been over a week now. Don't know when that is going to change. I sure am starting to miss "mama."

He has added some "D" words to his vocabulary. He says diaper, dirty and door. The words seem to be coming a bit faster now. I really see him processing as I tell him over and over (and over and over!) the words for the many things he points to.

Here are a few more dinner videos...



Did you notice mom saying "mmmm" in the first video? I created the "mmmm" monster. Benjamin loves his food!!

Benjamin loves his blocks! His recent favorite play is dumping out the blocks and getting in the box himself. Then we refill it and bury him!

Out for a stroll.

I figured it was time to post a few videos.

"B" words

Benjamin is talking more and more every day. He likes "B" words. He has been saying "Bart" for a while. He has now added book and ball. All three of these sound like "ba." He also says bubble and baby, which both sound like "ba ba." But they really are words. He just pointed to a picture of a baby on the back of a magazine and said "baba." He is also saying Mama and Papa more and more, which makes us happy. His first words were "All Done" and he uses those all the time.

Here are some of my favorite recent pictures.


The first picture is a classic Ben face.






















I just had to add this one. Ben has a cute sad face.
