Expanding Vocabulary & Mobility
Ben is working hard to expand his vocabulary. He has added "yuck" to his entertaining words. We are up to "Mama", "uh-oh" and "yuck" (well, more like uck actually). He has also learned to make "ga" sounds which is really cute.
He is quite verbal. He loves to babble away when he is playing and eating and going to bed and waking up......
He is also really starting to get around. Ben is taking some small steps when you hold his hands and is totally able to scoot along on his belly to get where he wants (the DVD stand, computer chair, my laptop cables....) It is so awesome to see him develop literally day by day. I am truly amazed at how quickly he changes. He is really trying to crawl, too. He can now get his feet up under him which is pretty new, but then he just hangs out in that position and stares at me until I help him out or he decides to roll away. The hardest part is that he gets so frustrated because he wants to be standing all the time, but he cannot do it on his own and is definitely not stable enough holding on to things to just leave him. As much as I don't want him to walk and get into trouble, it will be a huge savings on my back to not have to hold him upright all the time.
Fall is here, time for more SHOPPING!! I had Ben in jeans and a jacket when we went out today. I am really excited to get him some new things to wear!! I wonder if we will still need shorts when we get to NC. The average temps in Raleigh in October are only in the 70s but we will probably still have some shorts-weather when we get there.
