Now We're Talking

Ben can now say daddy and he is very proud of that. Though he knows who daddy is, everything is daddy. He'll just walk around saying dad-dy, dad-dy. He also says hi in a very sweet little voice and banky. As everyone knows, banky is almost as important as daddy.

Ben has always enjoyed opening and closing doors and drawers. He is now working on pulling doors shut. He just has to learn how to turn the handle. Hopefully that will take a while. It's been quite difficult lately to just walk out of the bathroom or bedroom because he's right there to close the door for you.

He is also a little climber. I'm not sure how he did it, but he climbed on our bed yesterday. He likes to climb on the coffee table when he thinks we can't see him. He likes to try climbing up the footboard and headboard of the bed.

Ben is also enjoying walking. He loves to just walk around the apartment, sometimes at full speed to his own detriment. He will carry a toy in each hand as he walks around, or his wolf, which he can't quite handle yet. As I write, he is wandering around the basement with a golf ball in each hand. He also plays fetch with himself, as he is doing with the golf balls. I'm glad he so easily entertains himself. That's one less thing to worry about when the baby comes.

What a joy it is to just watch him play and learn. We're not sure what we did for entertainment before we had him.

Chad plays fetch w/ Asher too, but it's so much better when they can do it all themselves!
