Update

Ben has decided to talk. Today he hid behind a door and said boo. It was hilarious. His new favorite toys are chunky cardboard books that have pictures of animals and bugs. He'll bring them to you and sit on the ground so that you can read them right then and there. He's not patient about it. Now he babbles which is adorable! He'll dump out his bowl of cereal just so he can say All Gone! He can imitate an elephant by making his arm a trunk and going brrrrrr. And his owl imprerssion is pretty good too.

Charlotte enjoys telling stories to herself and saying prayers for Dora and Boots so that they can find whatever Swiper has swiped from them. She loves the Dora video Auntie Cami got her for her birthday. Yesterday she poked Doug in the stomach and said A Little bit Pudgy. She then poked it again and said a little bit pudgers. Daddy's feelings were a little bit hurt......


We had a great time having Doug's family over for our monthly dinner tonight. We sure love having family around. We hope Uncle Steve doesn't die from his allergies.
