What a sweet boy we have! Seriously, he's so even tempered and calm about most things, it's pretty awesome. Except, of course, if I leave his sight, then it's major sob works in full force. Even Muddy got to experience this yesterday, when she was surrogate Mommy.
He LOVES the water. Unlike Addie, he enjoys getting his head wet in the bathtub. We've gotten into the habit of wetting his hair right away, lathering on the shampoo and then rinsing his head under the faucet. This NEVER would have happened with Addie! He just leans back and gets this big smile on his face as the water runs over his gigantic head.
He is FAST. Like lightening fast crawler. And he knows it. He and Daddy had a fun game of "catch the dishwasher" going on today. I would put him down in the family room, and in a millisecond, he was off to the kitchen to stand up against the dishwasher as Daddy loaded it.
Finally, little boy can eat. Ask Guppy. On two occassions this week, Guppy and Muddy have had the chance to observe Ben eating lunch. As Guppy said to me on Friday, "I've never seen a kid eat as much as he does." He can eat Addie under the table. In fact, when given his favorite foods, I bet he eats more in one sitting than Addie does in an entire day!
The eating point just reminded me of something. To give a little perspective to their size comparision, Ben is about 22.5 lbs right now, and about 31 inches tall. Addie is 29lbs and 34 inches tall. Addie wears a 7.5 shoe. Ben wears a 5.5!!!
