Ben drinks from a boot…
During the last 10 seconds of this video, Ben inserts his cup into his boot and then takes a drink. Our very own hobo!
The cutest things Ben says…
Now that Ben’s vocabulary and phrase construction are expanding at lightspeed, we must establish a list of the “cutest things Ben says”:
- “I love you”
- “I miss you”
- “Rubber ducky”
- “No, thank you”
- “I hold you”

Ben’s 2nd birthday
Ben turned 2 on November 16. We celebrated on November 17 with a small group of friends and family that Ben was well acquainted with and who would deluge him with attention since he doesn’t really have any birthday-celebrating friends his own age. Thanks to all who attended and made Ben feel like the special birthday boy that he was.
We were a month late in taking Ben to his 2-year checkup, but better late than never. Stats:
- Height: 36.75″ (98th percentile) – he’s tall!
- Weight: 32 lbs.(ish) (75th percentile) – he’s big, but ok compared to his height!
- He’s at or above all milestones – woo!

Legoland 10/21/12
Today we went to Legoland in Winter Haven. Ben loved it because it’s geared to youngsters, with a special part of the park just for playing with duplos (the blocks for those Ben’s age) plus a bunch of rides Ben could go on. Included in the photos below are photos of various Lego creations, like cities in Miniland constructed with Legos, animals on the safari ride. Also included are pretty photos of what remains of Cypress Gardens (Legoland was built on Cypress Gardens property, converting Florida’s oldest theme park to Florida’s newest). Enjoy – we did!
Swinging at Wooten Park
On this day at the park, not only did Ben let me put him in a swing, he actually enjoyed swinging!

Toddlers sleep in the strangest places
Ben doesn’t have a regular nap schedule, or even a regular nap location! This hyperactive kid will fall asleep wherever he crashes.
