Catching up...
I am way, way behind on my blog updates! We've had a very busy few months starting in mid-August when we moved to a new house. Then Ben turned 2 and we went to Disney World. Getting the house unpacked and keeping up with Ben have kept us very busy! I hope to post some new pictures soon but I wanted to write a little update on Ben at age 2.
He adjusted to the new house pretty quickly. He likes to play downstairs mostly which is good because we couldn't find a gate to fit the bottom of the stairs. He likes to throw and kick balls around the first floor and he has a few favorite toys right now like his See and Say and Leaptop. Ben surprised us a few weeks ago by showing us that he knows his numbers by pointing to the right number when asked. He can also "count" from 1 to 10 (and backwards) by pointing to numbers when they're in random order. He also knows his colors and we're working on his letters. Ben seems to understand more and more lately and he's been better at following directions (bring me your cup, shoes, etc.).
He loves to go to the playground near our house and play with other kids. We call him the "Mayor" of the playground because he likes to stand on one piece of equipment and wait for kids to come to him. He laughs and laughs when they come up to him. He is a very social little guy at the playground.
He continues to be a good, but picky eater. He doesn't like to try new foods so we stick with his favorites. I was worried about what he would eat when we went to Disney World because I wouldn't be able to prepare his usual meals but he did great and finally started eating chicken! In the past couple of months he has gotten much better about eating out at restaurants.
Ben seems to be developing some fears for the first time. For about 2 weeks he was scared to take a bath and lately he's had a hard time falling asleep without us. Hopefully the sleep issues will pass soon.
Overall Ben is a pretty happy and healthy 2 year old!
