Around 9 months or so, Bennett started saying "ma ma ma ma" when he was upset and I was too busy to pick him up. At first, I thought it was just jabber. Then when I was in Utah, I went shopping with Julia and my mom a few days before Julia left on her mission... June 13thish. I dropped something and I heard "uh-oh" as clear as day. I looked up and thought it was Lincoln, but then Bennett said it again. I meant to write that in an 11 month blog post, but then never got around to it, and now it's almost time for his 1 year post. He surprises me all the time. Since June 13th, he's added several other words to the list and "ma ma ma ma" has since transformed to mommy. He says "hi" to me when I first walk in to his room to get him up in the morning. It makes me laugh. It is amazing to me how different Lincoln and Bennett have developed. Lincoln was quite quick to crawl and walk and on the slow side to talk. Bennett is slower physically, but more verbal. I need to learn not to worry, but I do. Anyway, here's the little parrot in action:
So cute! I have never seen a baby so obedient when asked to say words!
ReplyDeleteI don't have your addy or anything to send you a thank you note... weird to do it here? Maybe... anyway thank you so much for the swaddler and pjs! The swaddler has been money. He hates it when he is awake but I know it helps him sleep. And the sleepers are so cute! I have them hanging in the closet and everyone who sees them ooohs and ahhs over them. So good to see you! Thanks for making the effort to stop by!
ugh! i am so mad i missed out on this reunion!! i was in ut as well but i didn't know you were there and i didn't think kristine really wanted visitors since i am pretty sure she had her baby while i was there. DUH!!!!! ok but bennett is so cute. i love it.
ReplyDeleteThis was fantastic and made me smile so much. He is changing very much and his personality is developing rapidly. It was great to hear him saying the same things Lincoln said when he was here.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
