Bennett 19 Months

Bennett turned 19 months before I even realized it.  He is no longer mommy's baby, but my big boy.  He weighs 23lb 11oz and 32" tall.  His vocabulary grows every day.  I believe today he said three new words.  He is getting a little better with his eating.  I am learning that I probably have more to do with his pickyness.  He is eating chicken nuggets, hamburgers, and fruit, sometime.  If I am strong and he thinks that is his only option, then he eats no problem.  But if he sees us eating his favorite, potatoes, then you can give up trying to get him to eat what he has been given. 

He is so much fun at this age.  He loves Mickey Mouse Club House.  As soon as we get home from school, he points to the TV and says Minnie...Daisy... Duck.  He dances worse than Goofy to Hot Dog.  We cleaned out our basement den, painted, and turned it into a toy room.  He loves the open space.  He is able to ride his truck down there, play balls, play with his train set, etc.  We are really enjoying it too.  The living room is no longer a toy storage. 

We are trying to prepare him for a little sister.  He recognizes sissy's picture.  He knows where sissy's room is.  I continue to pray that he will be a loving and caring big brother.
