I feel like I need to do another update before Benson turns two, because at this rate he'll be a completely different person in two months! I know, I know..first child syndrome but might as well focus on him while I still can right? & he's at such a fun age. I'm really loving his personality right now and how sweet & funny he is (most of the time haha #toddlers). I feel like he has just wanted to be independent & be able to talk since he was born & now he is finally able to tell us all the things all day long & is a pretty independent little human being!
Age: 22 months
Height: 34 inches
Weight: 27 pounds
Likes:
- phones, remotes, his tablet, tv.. basically everything I try all day to keep him off of. If he gets ahold of your phone.. man he can open those babies up & fb chat all the people in seconds! & he is addicted to selfies, which I kind of love.
- kissing! He kisses us ALL day long & tries to kiss everyone we hang out with haha! whoops.
- TRAINS -- he calls them Kings since he won't say his T's. It took us like 2 weeks to figure out what he was saying haha but every time the train goes by he stops everything & runs to the window to see it go by, luckily we live right next to a train track!
- Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, Planes, Tractors. If it's got an engine, he loves it.
- Dinosaurs
- Zebras? hahaha he calls them "nees" & walks around saying "neeeee" all day.
-Salsa is his latest obsession. But only Los Hermonos Salsa. He literally drank some the other day.
Dislikes:
-poopy diapers
-the words "no" or "stop" send him full melt down mode
-green food. like really he won't even touch it if its green hahaha
-when dad leaves for work. he's really into waving, but refuses to wave to Kevin because he doesn't want him to leave. Heart shattered.
-when he doesn't get to buckle every buckle in sight? weirdest tantrum throwing reason, but when he gets out of the car.. he HAS to buckle the carseat before he leaves.
-getting dressed/wearing clothes but he loves shoes! #priorities
Big Moments:
- Since sleep has been a MAJOR part of his life.. he now sleeps 8-8 (sometimes 9!) & takes 2-3 hour naps. It's like a big deal in our house to sleep in until 8 since for most of his life he has woken up at 6 haha! We're all such better human beings now!
- Has been much more aware lately that he is getting a baby brother soon! He doesn't actually understand gender obviously but he says baby & will rub my tummy or head butt it.. but points to things we buy for the baby & also thinks he has a baby in his belly. So we're getting there.
- He talks a mile a minute, has said a few sentences (mostly about his dad..eye roll), & can count to 5! He narrates himself all day & sings sweet little songs. I just want to bottle him up right now!
- His main jams are: ABC's, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Bingo, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star & Old McDonald. But he loves Katy Perry & all of Trolls soundtrack. He'll jam to pretty much anything.
- He is bomb at matching things & making all the animal sounds! My favorite is his snake sound & zebra of course.
- He new catch phrases are "boom baby" & "Huh 2, 3, 4" & "TADA!"
