We truly have been blessed with such a fun, happy baby! Life wouldn't be the same without this bundle of energy! Bennett keeps the smiles coming and laughter close. Open mouth kisses are still frequent and he is very loving. He goes to bed 6/7 pm and sleeps until 6/7 am the next morning. Bennett is definitely an alert, smart baby, too. You say something once and he's at that location ready. He had his 15 month well check today and I'd say his appearance pretty much fits the statistics. Tall, skinny, but full of brains.....he weighed 21 lbs 7 oz (9%), was 31 3/4 in long (64%), and had a head circumference of 19 1/4 in (89%).
He loves:
watermelon and cantaloupe
being outside
holding hands
toddle music
yogurt smoothies
balls
hats
kids
dogs
stairs
our basement
opening and closing doors
Funny quirks that make him unique from Trenton (This is so I don't forget!):
He cries so hard if you tell him no or put him in timeout. (You feel so bad!)
He stands up on anything. We possibly have a crib climber on our hands.
He's blonder.
He's more hesitant with strangers. He'll smile big, but don't try to pick him up. He gravitates quickly to Mommy when others are near and he's on the ground.
He can more successful skip a nap and maintain his composure.
He is adamant about feeding himself. (But, you can sneak extra bites in....he just wants to hold the fork/spoon all by himself. So each meal comes with two utensils!)
He's a better car traveler.
Similarities with Trenton:
Fantastic eater (at this stage!)
Huge fan of Granna and Opa.
Shouts "Nana" all the time.
Runs to Opa with arms up ready to be held.
Still double napping. 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon
Drinks a bottle before naps/bed. He loves them! (Let him be a baby!)
Wiggles out from his blanket and I go in twice a night to recover him up.
Gives huge smiles to the camera.
