19 Months

19 Months seems so old. So much more little boy that little baby. I've said it before and I'll say it again-it is really unfair how fast the baby stage flies by. Ben is still a little sponge who mimics everything Vince, Miles and I do! He likes wearing Da's hats, eating with no hands like Miles and vacuuming like Mommy. He is a handful at times but so darn cute you can't help by smile at him. His eating/drinking habits haven't changed much in the past month. His vocab is still growing...cereal, waffles, lovey, slide, BaPa (aka PaPa) and outside are his latest words. He has quite the stubborn attitude and has begun testing us to see what he can get away with. So needless to say the timeout chair is now in full effect. His little blue chair is now in the corner of the dining room and he has to sit there for a full 60 seconds. I am not sure if he fully understands it yet or not but we have to do something so he understands his actions have consequences. He still loves being outside and being/playing in the water! Trucks and cars are being played with more and more everyday. He is funny and almost always insists on bring a car or truck (no matter how big) with us when we go somewhere! His new favorite show is WordWorld! The kid is addicted to it! When he is cranky I'll turn it on and he climbs up on the couch gets in his spot with his blankie, lovey and b (aka binky) and totally chills out. He is a ball of energy that really never sits down! We are still on 2 naps a day most days-he just can't seem to let the morning nap go. I am going to make it my goal that by the end of summer he is at one nap a day whether he likes it or not!
