Ben can feed himself!

When we were having dinner with my family a couple Sundays ago, my sister was holding Ben on her lap and he decided to take her fork. She put some food on the table in front of him and helped him skewer the food onto his fork and put it in his mouth. I think I've been putting off the "feeding himself" stage because we have carpet downstairs... A few days later I decided to try it out at home. I gave him some mac n cheese (not the best idea because the noodles are so small it's hard to skewer them, but it worked nonetheless). Just look at him eating it!

Happy Birthday Ben

I know, I know... It's only 3 months late... I promise to try to be better!
Ben's 15 months old now. He's walking all over the place and he can sign/say a few words. He can say "uh-oh" "bah" (ball) "mama" "dat" (dad) "ca ca" (cracker/cookie) "gen" (again) "uppa" (up) and "hi!" He can sign: more, finished, cracker, cookie, mom, again, milk, ball, car, and baby.
The cutest thing about him right now is that when he wants my attention, he will start pulling on my leg, trying to get me to turn towards him, saying "Hi! Hi! Hi!" over and over until I look at him. Then he puts his arms up and says "uppa! uppa!" He will also walk up to little kids and say "Hi!" over and over.
