One Year and Five Months Old

Benjamin is jabbering all the time these days. He really can talk! He reminds me of Emma, one of the girls I took care of in Virginia. She talked non-stop, but it was nearly impossible to understand what she said!! Benjamin's speech is even harder to decipher. :-) Ben has gained a great dislike for his high chair. He always wants to sit in a regular chair now! Ben is much like Daniel; he wants to be outside all the time. It's a battle to get him in the house when we get home in the evening and especially if we have been outside playing. Ben points to his nose, hair, belly, ear, eye, and teeth on command, and speaks the words -though he does not say the words clearly. Rick, our neighbor is trying to teach him body words like clavicle, scapula, humerus, phalanges, etc... It is very funny! Ben likes to rearrange the furniture! Ben loves to dance and sing. He is a real cutie pie and oh so much fun!!!
