Ben counting!!
Ben can COUNT! He still sometimes skips one (as you'll see in the video) but not all the time! It is so fun to hear him add numbers.

"Bless you, Mommy"
So, tonight, Ben did the sweetest thing, and I just had to write about it. Daddy and I were sitting on the couches, and Ben was on the floor playing with his bus. I suddenly sneezed, and without a glance, Ben just said, "Bless you, Mommy", and kept on playing. Daddy and I just looked at each other, puzzles, because it seemed to just come from nowhere, and it was SO DEAR. Then Daddy fake sneezed, and Ben said, "Bless you, Daddy".
We have the sweetest, most considerate son, and it warms our heart!!

A few favorite things
A few favorite things to note about my fabulous son....
he is doing SUCH a great job developing his speech. He can say 3 or 4 words together, such as "Sit down, please" or "I love you, Daddy".
he is starting to COUNT! He can count to 10 ... sometimes! But he ALWAYS skips one. It is too cute. He starts with two every time.
he adores his cousin Owen, and on mornings when we ask him what he wants to wear, he goes to his closet, finds a flannel shirt, and says, "Owie shirt"
He loves to talk about Uncle Jon, or "Un Gull Gon". When I ask him to say Uncle Steve, he will say, "Un Gull Gon Steve". Too cute!! (or MOST recently, he now refers to Uncle Matt as "Aunt Matt" ---- he came up with that ALL on his own, Matt!)
If his nose it hurting or running, he will point to it and say, "nose hurt" with a sad face.
he LOVES to hug. He is the best cuddle bug ever. And he still is an amazing sleeper. When he is ready for a nap, he grabs my hand and leads me to his room, saying "nigh nigh"
when he sat on Santa's lap, even though he was so so excited, he still cried. Then once i joined him, he told Santa he wants a Choo Choo train for Christmas.
Every cupcake or sweet he sees, he says "Ice Ceam Cone".... although he's never had one.
He LOVES to go to his 'school' now! He used to cry, and now he just walks right in, gives me a hug, and starts playing. It is adorable. They even had a concert, where Ben was on stage, and although he had to bring Mono (his stuffed animal monkey) with him, he didn't cry! I was so PROUD of him!
When he is going to bed at night, we hear him singing his own rendition of either Twinkle Twinkle LIttle Star or the ABC's. Makes us smile every time -- adorable!!
He is just at such a darling stage right now, and we can't believe how much more we can love him every single day.

Happy New Year
After saying "Happy New Year" to Ben a few times, later on in the day, Ben went up to Daddy and said, "Happy New Year Ho Ho Ho." So that is our new New Year's saying!
