He finally cut his 3rd tooth, his 3rd tooth!!! I was starting to wonder again if he had anymore than just 2 in there! But now we can see that his top chiclets are about to pop through too. I'm pretty sure there is just going to be an explosion in there soon. Poor thing.
Elmo's getting smaller and smaller, isn't he?! Bennett weighs around 21 pounds right now...we know because we have frequented the doctor PLENTY lately. He has now had 6 ear infections. He has been on antibiotics 30 out of the last 40 days!:( I don't even want to imagine what that has done to his system, although, I don't really want him to get tubes yet either.
Tooth-less grin!:)
Favorite face he dishes out...
Yeah, I'm cute, so what?
Bennett is making progress towards walking too. He can walk fairly well holding onto one of our hands and then an object in the other hand to give him security. I see him getting stronger each day, but am getting impatient for him to start walking! He wants to be able to keep up with his big brother in the worst way.New words: hot, pumpkin, balloon, apple, up. We know he is saying a lot, we just can't understand it all.
Signs: all done, more, drink (on a good day)
Favorite toys: anything that Ethan is playing with at the moment...I'm pretty sure just the "act" of stealing the toy from Ethan is play enough for him. He loves the stereo equipment, VCR, DVD player, cell phones, and Playstation too. That's what we spend the majority of our time distracting him from right now anyway!:) When he isn't stealing toys from his brother he is imitating him, so I would say that Ethan is his best favorite toy of all!
Bennett is quite a firecracker, which I wouldn't imagine him any other way based on the way he came into this world. He has a quick temper and almost appears as if he is going to literally blow up when he wants something or is trying to communicate something. I love this about him, it just reminds me what a fighter he is.
I'm sure there is a ton I'm forgetting to mention about how fantastically wonderful my second born is. We love you to bits Bennett!

Favorite toys - Ethan's potty was the first thing that came to my mind!!! But maybe that's just here? ;)
I love your updates - he does different things at home that he doesn't do here, so I love hearing them! :)
Elmo is getting absolutely tiny!!! Cant wait to hear he's waking...i'm sure after doing it once and realizing its not so scary you'll be chasing him all around the house!
It's so exciting to hear how good Bennett is doing besides the ear infections! Jace is only 6 months and has had 2 ear infections already. Haley had tubes in before she was a year old. One fell out so she had to have a 2nd set put in. Therefore, she had 2 sets in before she was 2. I was so nervous about the tubes but I have to say, it was much easier the 1st time than the 2nd time. The older she got the harder it was for me. We used Dr. Bell in Waverly and she was awesome! She didn't jump to putting the tubes in. She first did a hearing test on Haley and then a couple of months later she did another one and said it was time. That alone made me feel so much better. Sometimes I get concerned doctors try to push too much too fast! Hope Bennett gets over the ear infections soon!
