"Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we want them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come." -Joseph Smith

16 Months Old - Benny Boy!

Benners is 16 months old! We just had his dr appt. He's doing great. No ear infections for almost 2 months!
He now weighs 29lbs - 89th percentile.
He is 32" tall - 63rd percentile.

He is all healthy and well!

- He speaks 4 words clearly - Momma, Dada, Cracker & Baba (bottle)
- He has quite a few words that he says that aren't quite as clear yet, and that we don't know what they mean. His birth family probably understood more since they raised him. We're getting there.
- He loves to copy what Aria does. They do a lot of little noises and actions back and forth at each other. It's so cute!
- He loves to dance. His birth-grandparents would play music each day for him and he'd dance. We still do that with him and it's so fun to watch him go crazy! He and Aria dance a lot.
- Ben loves to eat. He's a really good eater. Not too picky.
- He is such a lovey kid. He gives hugs so freely. He'll come running with a big hug to give.
- He loves the outdoors. He would spend all day out there if he could. He's even happier when he gets to play outside for a long time.
- He is so ticklish! He has a very hearty laugh. It's so fun to hear.
- He really likes books too!
- He's turned into quite the climber the past week. He loves to climb onto the rocking chair, stand up and rock. He's so proud of himself when he does! It's so cute to see him so happy about something he did.

We sure love this little sweetheart! He's been such a great addition to our family. He and Aria's personalities compliment each other so well. He keeps us busy and on our toes. We just love his smile and sweet little voice.

We love you, Buddy!
