Ben had a mysterious rash - similar to Measles but blood work confirmed it wasn't. we still have no idea what it was. He was out for 2 weeks pretty much - maybe even a little more. And then it was his Birthday! One already! What?!! Where did the time go? This time last year - I had a one week old and now he's one. and walking and talking like there is no tomorrow. He loves to walk everywhere. and the only thing about having a child this young walking ( he was 10.5 months when he started) is that he doesn't understand the danger of walking onto the road way. or walking away from mom and dad and not holding hands. (Not that he ever even got close to a road or parking lot!) But we are trying to teach him to hold our hand. He would basically flop to the ground, pulling his little arm out of ours as strong as he could. And he is strong! But he is getting it now. Slowly.
My favorite things about Ben:
Uh-oh.... comes just before he throws things on the floor.
Duck is his favorite word.
I love when he points to something. he makes a gun like point with his thumb and finger.
I love his sweet cuddles before bed time.
I love when he goes to his room to read a book.
He is terrified of Cow!
His sweet giggles when you tickle him
The way he says "YYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
That he has his own little language ( same blabber that he has been saying since day one)
He is a social little butterfly who loves to wave at anyone he comes across!
the list goes on and on. There isn't much I don't love about this little guy. He has my whole heart.
