...I apologize for being so delinquant on updating the blog, but life has been so busy!! We were home for a short two weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, then we had a wonderful two weeks in Montana over Christmas and New Year's, and have been home for a very hectic week! Whew. Meanwhile little Ben has been going non-stop, exploring every inch of wherever he is, and learning new words and sounds every day! Today he was trying to say "cold". It came out more like "co!" This was while I was sharing a popsicle with him, then later when Daddy let him walk around on the cement garage floor in his bare feet.
We are slightly disappointed that after all our hard work with him, his first words were not "Mama" or "Dada", at least not in recognition of one of us (he says those words randomly) -- but instead, his first coherent word was "Elmo!" Sigh. I guess you just can't win sometimes. His favorite sound is still the monkey sound, thanks to his beloved Curious George. Those are his two favorite characters, Elmo and Curious George. So he walks around saying Elmo's name and then squawking like a monkey. It's pretty funny!
One reason life is so hectic right now, besides us trying to keep up with little Ben, is that we are now expecting our second child!! I am just 9 weeks pregnant and feeling every bit of it -- tired, sick, etc. It is not as bad as my first pregnancy (not so far anyway) but it is more difficult since I AM trying to keep up with a busy toddler. So this mommy is extra-tired.
Which is why I will now go to sleep. I just remembered that "hey - we have a blog that we told everyone about at Christmas" and in case everyone stopped checking in since I wasn't updating it...well, we are back! Happy 2009!
