Happy Baby
May 23, 2009I don’t know how Mike and I lucked out, but Benny is just the happiest little guy and he always has been. He’s just so sweet and so pleasant to be around. Don’t get me wrong, he has his moments, but he’s such an easy going little boy. You can’t help but smile when you see him. Here is the happy dude in the bath the other night. Adorable!
Benny is doing and enjoying all kinds of new things lately and he’s very independent.
- He climbs up on the chair at the dinner table and will even climb ontop of the table too.
- He loves to wave and say “Bye-ee. See”. (As in See ya later).
- He’s getting a little better at eating some meats and fruits, but he still wants nothing to do with veggies.
- He’s totally digging the fan in his room and his new “fishy tank”. It’s one of those fake lighted fish tanks and the fish spin in circles. Both boys have them as night lights and it’s gotten to the point where they won’t sleep w/o them. They love fish!
- It’s funny to see him at the park this year. Last year he was just a little peanut, but this year he walks around and explores. He’s not afraid at all.
- He can open the back door to the deck and the front screen door too. The other night he said “Bye-ee” opened the door and went out onto the front porch. I laughed and freaked out at the same time.
- He loves to give kisses and blow kisses too.
- He’ll blow on his food with you to cool it down. It’s funny to see his big cheeks puff out.
- Wubbzy is still his favorite, but I caught him doing a little shimmy when watching Diego the other night.
- Tonight he was being a little loud at a restaurant, so Mike and I put our fingers up to our mouths and said “Shhhhh”. Wouldn’t you know it. He starts to do the same thing. He‘s becoming a little copy cat.
- He’ll climb out of the tub if you let him and will walk to his room so you can get him dressed. He’s really getting to be a big boy.
- He’s learned how to shut the bedroom doors and lock them so we have to be careful he doesn’t lock himself in a room.
I’m so enjoying watching him grow. Everything he does amazes me, but it’s those eyes and that smile that get me every time. I have to be careful as he gets older that he doesn’t use that to his advantage to make me cave in when he’s being bad or wants something. It’s so easy to melt like butter when he puts those baby blues teamed up with those pearly whites into action.
