B-log: 16 months

At 16 months,

* Bennett is feeding himself:


This makes for a huge mess but at least it frees me up in the mornings to take care of other 'chores'.

* He knows more signs, like Mama, Dada and potty (and I seriously think he understands what it means already!!!)

* He still loves books and we have them stashed all over the house and car. There's a box of them beside his carseat, a pile in the bathroom, his bedroom, the living room, the dining room and even our bedroom for those Sunday mornings I just want to cuddle in bed!



* He has a new toddler carseat - no more bucket seat! He's so much happier and comfier - no more screaming when I would try to wrestle him into the tight straps! It made a huge difference on our 4 hour round trip to ski last weekend - he read books, clapped to music, played with trains, talked to us. Much better situation.

* He knows a lot more animal sounds - cow, horse, sheep, chicken, duck, bear, lion, tiger, dog.

*He COPIES everything you do. If you are leaning against the counter with your feet crossed - he'll stand the same way. A couple weeks ago Rory was pushing against the washing machine (that was off balance during spin cycle) and Bennett copied the same thing on the dryer...even crossed his legs like Rory.

* He gives kisses and hugs to all his Cassie Care friends




Have we hit mullet stage yet? What do ya'll think?
