A late 18 month post

So, Mr Bennett has been 1 1/2 for almost a month now.  And, wow, is all I can say about him.

Fiesty... ball of energy... cuddly... funny... affectionate... hitter... busy... blanket sucker.... mommy lover... wrestler... jumper without leaving the ground... climber... ticklish... and so much more.

18 months... ready to brush his teeth... one of his favorite things to do after watching Elmo songs on youtube.

He still adores me and his blanket beyond all things.  Up until the last few months, he has put up with dogs but now he really loves them. He hugs our dogs all the time and will wrestle around with them on the floor.  He also disciplines Moses with emphatic "na" (no) often. 

Speaking of love, he really loves his brothers too.  Ashton and Shepherd can make him furious though.  However, he is all about getting in the middle of the wrestling matches.  Recently he started getting mad at Hunter when he got in the tub with him. 

 

Cheesin' it up.

I love his wide smile and the way his eyes squint up and his little dimple on his right cheek. 

He is still soooo skinny.  He had his 18 month appt and has almost dropped to his 9 month percentage lows.
Weight 21.5 lb (11%)
Height 32.25" (36%)

This is the smile he gives me when I ask him to smile.  So cool he is.  ;)

He hasn't started putting words together but is adding words every week to his vocab.
His favorite words are "mama,"  "dada", "tractor", "momo" (Elmo), "dog", "bud" (bird), "juice", "nak" (snack).   He has a word that he uses for brothers but I don't know how to sound it out.  :)

He is cutting his canine teeth now which made for a rough couple sleeping nights a few weeks back, but he has since started sleeping great again.

I am still so amazed and thankful that I get to raise not just one, but four amazing little boys.  Bennett is such a God-wink!

I love you "little blessed one."  Happy 1/2 birthday.
