10 Months

Double Digits...10 Months! Ben is changing so fast. I blink and he is doing something new. He now has 6 teeth! 4 on top and 2 on the bottom. Thankfully these last few haven't been as hard on him as the first 2. He is trying more and more "people" food. He loves black olives despite Vince's hatred of them! And he has tried pickles, steak, plums, and a lot more. Ben has started waving! It is the cutest thing ever! He now waves at everyone that waves to him! He has mastered climbing stairs but hasn't figured out how to go down them. He is loving his toys more and more and has mastered how to use them quite well. His favorite right now is a truck that responds to sound and talks and rolls across the floor! Bedtime hasn't been as easy as it has previously has been. He use to just lay down and go to sleep now he screams. And I mean SCREAMS. This can last anywhere from 1 min to 30 min. I know he is just testing us. If we go in his room he immediately stops and then starts again when we leave. Hopefully this phase is short lived. He loves loves loves Elmo! Whenever he hears the Elmo song he stops and starts dancing and sometimes he sings! It is priceless! I think he got his Dad's good dance gene! He loves to listen to "his" music. He will get so mad in the car if his music isn't on. I on the other hand am so tired of kid songs! It is so amazing to watch him learn and grow everyday. We are so blessed to have him!
