Twenty-two months old!

I know I keep talking about how much Ben has been talking. But seriously - we, his teachers and our family just keep marveling over how much his vocabulary has exploded lately. He really is such a parrot and such a jabberbox.

Loves to say "I did it!" and "ready....ready....GO!"

Sometimes when Ben is ready to get up before we are, I'll go get him and put him back in bed with us. Sometimes he'll cuddle, sometimes he'll wrestle and lay on my head. One morning he laid there for a minute, then popped his thumb out and said, "Daddy. Melmo. Couch?" Well, Daddy was in the shower, Elmo was not on TV, but we could go to the couch. So he settled for Mommy, Dorge (Curious George), couch.

He's in size 5 diapers still, wearing 18-24 month clothes, and has all of his teeth except for the back molars. He goes to bed by 8 and wakes up between 6:30 and 7, with a 2-hour nap midday. (well, when he's at school - I'm not that great at keeping him on schedule at home...)

His favorite dinner is chicken-poppyseed casserole or spaghetti, loves some french fries, pizza, and sometimes peas, eats lots of Mini Wheats cereal and recently enjoys pineapple.

We've had lots of fun adventures and activities over the past month and many more coming this month that I hope to post about soon!
