16 months

Bennett is 16 months old!

(One year and 4 months in normal language)

Bennett is loving life. 

He is into everything and loves to explore anything he can get his hands onto!

He's eating a huge amount of food! It seems like he eats all day long. As soon as breakfast is over he's ready for a snack! Orrrr ... if he sees anyone else eating something that looks interesting to him, he is suddenly famished and must try a bite of whatever it is he sees (not that he always gets a bite, but he sure does try!)

Bennett currently has 14 teeth and it working on two more right now! I might lose my mind before they all come in, but we are hoping these last two will be it for a LONG time!

Bennett has mastered walking and is now really enjoying running! When he gets excited to see someone or if he wants you to run after him, he makes this little squeal and them his little legs just get moving so fast and he takes off! It's adorable!

As has been the case for at least the last 6 months, Bennett continues to love music. He loves to listen to it, he loves to dance to it, and he loves to make music anyway he can!  He has started to sit with his "guitar" and sing! (I have a video of him and Adam sitting together with their guitars singing but Adam says he sounds bad in it - I think it's adorable!)

Bennett isn't talking a ton, but he's communicating! We got baby signs for a gift, we were totally on board to start it, and well... I failed. So basically the kid is on his own, in the world of kids who are all signing to their parents. He just has to point and say "Nah nah nah" enough times until we figure out what it is that he wants. But we usually get it in the first couple tries :)  (90% of the time he just wants us to hand him his cup on the counter or he's asking for a banana, he asks for banana's constantly!) 

I don't really know a whole lot about toddler strength and all but I think our son is super strong! He can pull himself up on to things that are at his shoulder height! It's rather amazing to Adam and I the things that he has been able to climb up on! He defiantly can get his foot above his shoulder and then push off - He may be getting rock climbing gear for his 2nd birthday!

All these pictures so far were taken one month ago on May 22nd (15 months) - this is what our 16 month  old looks like today with his freshly cut hair

He looks sooooo much older to me! I'm still not sure if I'm happy with the cut, it may be a long time until he gets another one! He needs to stop growing now!
