Benjamin at 17 months

This month shed a little more light on Ben's personality or maybe it's just a phase, but we are finding he is quite dramatic.  These days when he gets hurt or scolded, he will put his hands over his eyes while crying and then take them off to see if someone is looking.  It's difficult to hold back a little chuckle.

Ben is still jibber-jabbering for the most part, but he has added a few more words to his vocabulary such as baby, no way and Mommy, which actually sounded a little like Mammy when he first started saying it.

You know you're loved when your child shares their most coveted food item with you.  Recently Ben was eating some Lucky Charm cereal while I prepared his oatmeal.  As I was getting ready to help him eat his oatmeal, he reached his little hand up to my mouth and offered me one of his marshmellows.  Now that's love. :o)

Ben is expressing his displeasure in having to sit still for 3 seconds.
