I'm in continual doubt about how old my baby boy is getting. Like, he is in serious toddlerhood now!!! He is so much fun and everyday my heart burns with how much I love this boy! Here are some updates of what he can do:
Says these new words:
mama, daddy, baby, basketball hoop, drink, choo choo train, hot dog, table, "Nummy" for any food item, apple, backpack "pac pac", please and thank you, and of, course he can say "SPIDERMAN"!
He also says a few sentences of jumbled words that sometimes we can understand! It is so fun to see his language development and I'd say he has a pretty good vocab for his age!
His favorite things to do are still play with balls and he can even verbally distinguish the different types of balls. He'll correctly label "golf ball, basketball, baby ball" etc. But he also LOVES playing with toy animals and toy cars/trains. He loves to read books and has recently discovered movies and is constantly begging to watch How to Train Your Dragon.
This boy also does Karate moves all around the house (courtesy of Big Hero 6 movie) and roars like a Dragon all the time. He also suspects a dragon lives under the bed and in the closet and I've found him tossing raisins aka "nummies" into the closet because he is trying to feed the dragon like he saw happen in the How to Train Your Dragon movie! His imagination is already coming to life!
He is also the sweetest and most empathetic child I've ever known. The other day I bumped my head on the cupboard corner and Kaden kept pointing to my head and saying "Mama Bonk! Mama owie!" and kept giving me kisses. My heart melts! He also has learned to hug and will squeeze so tight!!!
Ben and Kaden have also gotten closer than ever as Kaden already looks to his daddy as a superhero. Every night they wrestle and play dragon and Kaden has even helped Ben with his "projects" he's been making.
So yes, Ben has had a relatively light schedule that has allowed him to create some things we needed. First, he built this kitchen table from scratch.
We just found the look we wanted on Pinterest, Ben went to Home Depot, bought some planks and went to work! And yes, he did this on the balcony of our 3rd story apartment:) No neighbor complaints so far!
Then I mentioned that I have wanted a cream colored ottoman for our living room. After hours of online and in store shopping we couldn't find one we liked under $3000. So Ben went to work. This one cost around $150 to build and is prettier than anything I could've ever imagined. The best part is the top lifts off and we can store books and blankets inside. And don't worry, we made the fabric spill proof with several cans of Scotch guard!!
Ben will probably do a few more projects--its good for him to keep busy as we anxiously await March 20th!!! We are so excited to open our letter that will tell us where we move to and live for the next 5 years!!! So much is wrapped up in that day! Fingers crossed we go to a top choice!!
Also this week my sweet sister in law Rachel had her baby boy Weston...5 weeks early!!! Little Wes is so cute and is doing really well...we are praying for him to come home from the NICU soon! Check out how much Wes and Kaden look alike! (Wes on the left, Kaden on the right)
All in all we've been better than ever. Life is exciting and full of adventure! Thanks for reading!!!:)
