Talking

All the time! He always ask what everything is. He will point to something and say "dat" however he will ask three or four times. We tell him what it is the first two times and then we describe the color that he is pointing to. He can say ma ma, da da, co co, ga ga (grandma, my mom doesn't want to be called this), mi mi (Pam), baw (ball), tee (tree), ba ba (bye-bye). He really want to talks more and when you talk to him he really studies your mouth moving. Let's just hope that he isn't a motor mouth like his parents.

Benjamin loves animals so we are teaching him what all the animals say. We have a book with over 100 different animals that we teach him with (clearly David and I don't know all of them, ha!) He can tell you what elephants, monkeys, dogs and cows say but he also can point out pigs, ducks and cats.

Eckert's Fun!

Yesterday was so perfect outside that we decided to go to Eckert's to pick some apples and boy was it our lucky day as they were celebrating there 50 years of business and got 50% off apples.

First pony ride!

Reading

Benjamin loves to be read to especially if the book has animals in it. He will go downstairs, pull a bunch of books off the shelve and bring you a book he wants you to read to him. It is the cutest thing and he actually has favorite ones.
This book Dear Zoo is his favorite one right now.
