TA-DA!

Benson cracks us up with his deep voice. Just the opposite of his brother. His new word is ta-da! and he says it all the time, I just had to catch it on video because it's SO cute!

Ice Cream Anyone?

Josh set up a little ice cream shop in the basement today. He was so cute! And very serious about his responsibilities as "worker." He's all about being a good worker these days and is constantly telling me that he can't do whatever it is I'm asking him to do, because he's busy working. He's so much fun, I love that he's always using his imagination.

Mr. Almost Walker

A lot has changed in one week for Benson! He's getting closer and closer to walking everyday. I wanted to post this clip because Josh took the video and he did such a good job! I love his little voice in it. Bens looks a little unsteady but he's actually really good! He walks all the way across the room. I'm getting excited for him!

Rocking Horse

Santa brought Benson the cutest rocking horse for Christmas, but it wasn't until a week or two ago that he figured out that he could get on and rock all by himself. This video is short and kind of fuzzy, but it really is the cutest thing to see him get this thing rocking so hard!

Still Not Walking...

I'm pretty convinced this little man is never going to walk. He does NOT want to! He walks all day long with his walker and along anything and everything...walls, cabinets, couches, and chairs. But, if we try to practice having him walk between the two of us, he just sits down. Or the second he realizes he doesn't have a crutch, he sits.
Up until about 2 weeks ago I loved that he didn't walk, but he's recently become so discontent, and whines all day long because he can't do everything he wants to. I know he'd be so much more happy if he could walk and keep up with us better.
Lets hope he changes his mind soon, before I loose mine :)

Two Front Teeth

Finally, after 2 weeks of fussiness, the 2 front teeth have made their appearance.

Thank You!!!

This Week

Time for my weekly update.

This week, for the most part, the weather was crappy so we had to spend a lot of time playing inside the house. By like Monday afternoon, we were all pretty bored and the 10 day forecast looked like going outside to play wasn't going to be likely, so I decided I needed to be a little more proactive with planning outings and activities. Monday night I got online (Pinterest) and also racked my brain to think of all the things I loved to do when I was a kid. I came up with loads of ideas! We ended up having such a fun week!

Josh practiced his photography skills

We planted flowers

Josh waters them every day, and just today we found the first sprout! This was seriously fun! I have loved this as much as Josh.

Our neighbors ripped up their driveway and re-poured it over the next 2 days. That provided hours of entertainment.

We made birthday cards to send to Grandma.

Painted with wheels. A total hit!

It turned into finger painting, and then he painted all the cars with the paintbrush.
So then we had a car wash. Seriously, kept him busy for hours! He was having a blast.

We also played parking lot. He enjoyed this more than anything else we did all week. The simplest thing.
We worked on learning our numbers, and it went really well. I was impressed.

We also went to story time, played at Barnes and Noble, went to the park, went to gymnastics, did some shopping, and spent Tuesday playing with Jace.

Definitely a good week.
