Fourteen months

I'd better bust out a fourteen month update before it becomes fifteen months! Ahhh! The days sure fly by, especially during the holiday season. Benjamin had a great fourteenth month! During this time we celebrated Thanksgiving and prepared for the upcoming Christmas season. (Which is now over... sorry for the delay!) Anyway, it was a fun month with lots of traveling, yummy food, time spent with family members, and growing! I've been trying to think of some obvious growth that has occurred in this month, but I think the only way to describe our boy is by saying that he has just been refining all of his skills. His walking is much more steady and is getting close to becoming a run, his language and communication still consists mostly of babbles and shrieks, but there's a LOT of it and he is very, very good at getting his point across. His appetite is improving and subsequently his eating has been slightly better. (Again, slightly.) He sleeps great. Basically I think he understands pretty much everything I say, whether he likes it or not. :) Benjamin is just a busy little guy who loves to play all day long. I can just see him morphing into this little boy and every day he's less and less of a baby in my eyes. Now THAT is a scary thing! We love him so very dearly, our little Benjamin Joel. I know we're already almost halfway through fifteen months, so I'm going to save some stuff for the next post, but I didn't want to skip out on November/December updates! Here are a few pictures to make up for it!


(As you can see, he did NOT enjoy his visit with Santa.) :)
