Lt Dan (crazy crawl)

Mr Clean

I know it's cliche, but I really can't believe he's already one.  

You can't help but smile when you look at his pictures.  Yes, I am biased, but he is the cutest little boy in the history of ever.  All teeth and no hair and the prettiest blue eyes (he receives compliments all the time). 

So what is Ben up to now?

-Close to walking.  Pulls up and cruises and walks with push toys.

-He gets around via his crazy scoot.   He moves from room to room quickly. 

-He has a big appetite.  Favorite foods include blueberries, bananas, yogurt, 7 layer dip, eggs, yogurt melts, meat.

-He says some words, including "uh oh," "og" (dog), "da," "mama" (sometimes), attempting to say Avery.

-Claps. 

-Waves

-Feeds himself (with hands) and can drink water from a sippy cup. 

-Crazy busy, non-stop movement, never a dull moment!

Likes

-Banging things around.  

-Being outside.

-Big sister

Dislikes

-Getting clothes or diaper changed (LOATHES)

-Waiting

Not sure on his weight or other stats as we don't go for his checkup until tomorrow.

Words to describe Ben's personality:

-Feisty

-Rough and tumble

-Funny

-Impatient

-Busy

-Curious

-Silly

-Mischievous

-Sweet

The past year has flown by.  Words can't express how much we love him.  He is the perfect addition to our family.

I soon discovered he was peeing
