16 Months

It just amazes me time and time again at how much Ben learns everyday. This walking, talking, running 16 month old is a little sponge. I must say the greatest accomplishment this month is his vocabulary. He is a talking and signing machine. Just in the past few weeks he has learned more words than I think I can count. My favorites as of late are...eat eat (not sure why but he always says it twice), cool, car, fishy, crazy, mommy, go, please, shoes and night night. He repeats us constantly which is pretty funny! But makes us realize we have to be careful about what we say since his little ears seem to be everywhere!  He can run now and just keeps getting faster. He has very strong opinions about his stroller now and would prefer to walk not ride. He still loves his fruit and hates milk. I think he is working on a new tooth or two-he has been super drooley the past few days. He is learning his body parts-his favorite to show you are his hair, eyes, nose and mouth. He is quite the little funny man too. He lifts up his shirt and pokes his belly button and says beep beep! He also like to try to lift up my shirt and do the same at the most inappropriate times! He loves "talking on the phone"! He will grab a phone or remote hold it up to his ear, start talking and the walk around still gabbing away. Again how Ben mimics us is so cute, funny and scary!
