No more babies in the Hawkins house anymore! Sweet Ben is a toddler and keeping his momma busy in true toddler fashion!! If he isn't trying to climb the staircase, he is trying to play in the toilet. He rarely sits still and quite moments make me nervous. Silence means trouble! But little Ben is still such a sweet boy with such a contagious smile! He loves, loves, loves books and often brings them over to you to read. Over and over and over and over. He is starting to point at different objects around the house and likes to take blocks in and out of buckets. Over and over and over and over.
Ben definitely has a stronger temper than his brother (or I just blocked that memory from my mind) and will quickly let you know when he is not happy. But he is so snuggly and loves to be held. He is also quite the eater. I would guess that he out-eats Henry in almost every meal. I'm pretty sure this won't last so I am trying to take advantage of his open and willing palate. Ben is still crawling around and cruising along the furniture, walls or whatever he can pull up on. I'm hoping he will want to walk soon, but right now he doesn't show much interest.
Henry, Ryan and I just adore this little boy, and I think he is pretty fond of us too! Happy (belated) birthday to our sweet Ben!
