All About Bennett

We have another bookworm at this house.  Bennett's favorite thing is to read!  Logan loved books as a tiny baby, but Bennett has recently become more of a bookworm.  He often sits and looks quietly through books - especially in the mornings and before afternoon naptime.  Remember this post of Logan as a baby?


Bennett is 15 months and he has changed so much!  He really is now a little boy, not a baby.  Its hard for me to even remember that last year at this time, he was only 4 months old.

Bennett has many words!  He says
"nigh-nigh" - he waves his hand and says "nigh-nigh"!
"up"
"mommy"
"daddy"
"water" - he's still not a big fan of milk, but likes to take big drinks of water!
"this" - he loves to point and say "this" when he wants something!
"a-done" - means "all done" at meal time
"ma" - means "more" and is usually accompanied by sign language

Bennett also like to shake and nod his head to answer "no" and "yes".

Bennett eats and drink like a big kid.  He is one hungry, thirsty kid.  He eats more than Logan and always takes such big drinks that he's out of breath when he is finished.  While Logan was a pretty clean eater, Bennett is a mess.  Food is always all over him, the floor, his chair, and everywhere else.

Bennett is super stubborn and opinionated.  He knows what he wants and will not give up!  We realize we could be in for some crazy times with Bennett!  I think he will challenge us more than Logan has....but I could soon eat my words, right?

Bennett does his best to keep up with Logan at all costs.  This has resulted in lots of bumps and bruises!  For the most part, the two play well together and love being together!

Bennett runs everywhere - or at least walks as fast as his little legs will take him!  When he runs, he moves his arms so funny...its worth a video, if I can ever get one!

Bennett takes after Logan (or maybe Mom and Dad?) and love to dance!  He has some moves that I surely can't take credit for!  This is also worth a video...and I have one, but I can't ever get it to load on the blog.

Bennett is the sweetest little boy (when he wants to be) and he is just to irresistable with his long curly locks (need to be trimmed again soon!) and his big blue eyes.  He loves to give hugs and kisses on command.  He runs to John as soon as he gets home from work.  He loves to rock in the rocking chair and snuggle into our shoulders.  He is super cuddly when he wants to be (just like his older brother!).

Bennett sure is one cute kid.  We love Bennett...what a special boy!
