Benton Boy is 17 Months

My Benton Boy is 17 months old.  I feel like his personality has come out so much this month.  He is truly into EVERYTHING!  Just the other day I left him alone for a minute and he was literally hanging from the chandelier in the kitchen.  He is so happy and full of life.  He keeps this pregnant momma moving!  He goes to CDO twice a week just so I can sit down!

Some updates on the love bug:
Teeth~We're still waiting on his last eye tooth to pop through.  That teething business is so fun and I am hoping we are over the worse of it.

Talking~Although Benton is not talking as much as Haisley was, he is definitely moving in that direction!  He can say bird, ball, momma, dada, thank you, and attempts to say multiple other words.  It is a matter of time before he says even more!

Eating~Benton boy likes to eat!  He loves just about any type of meat.  He also loves most vegetables.  His favorite breakfast foods are probably sausage and muffins.  He is still drinking breastmilk, but we will out of that by the end of the week (tear).  I have a fe eling is going to like whole milk.  Benton is also eating wonderfully with a fork.  

Size~He is about 25 lbs, wears size 5 diapers, and 18-24 month clothing.  He is growing by leaps and bounds!  He wears a size 5.5 shoe.

Tricks~As I mentioned earlier, our baby is a climber.  He literally climbs all day (see pictures below).  He is excellent at throwing balls.  He loves reading, but can only sit still for a short time.  He also likes swinging while sitting in mommy or daddy's lap.

We love you more than you'll ever know sweet boy.  You bring so much excitement and joy to our lives!  Your sweet smile and dimples light up the room!

Haisley is such a great big sister to you.  She is constantly looking out for you and telling mommy when you start climbing or get into something you shouldn't!  See below, She is feeding you some yogurt and making sure your face stays clean.

You are very sad and pitching a fit that your food wasn't ready!
