Larries

I can't remember if I have shared this, but it is worth sharing again...Sam's word for "ladies" is "larries". It is really quite comical. He talks about how nice the larries at church are and how the larries laugh when he dances...He says Mama is a nice larry, but Daddy is a nice guy. Josh and I have started calling ladies "larries" too. It is lots of fun; you should try it. I am not looking forward to the day when Sam finally figures out they are "ladies" not "larries."

Ben is still reaching for toys and grabbing at anything he can get his hands on, including our dinner. He started eating rice cereal, now an then; he is getting the hang of it, but is still not too crazy about the taste/texture. He loves his pacifier and several blankies (i am not sure which one he will ultimately choose). He will swing in his baby swing for hours; he absolutely loves it. He "talks" a lot. He laughs out loud at Sam and keeps his eyes glued to him most of the day; he really likes all of Sam's movement and noise, although most of it startles him. He enjoys peek-a-boo - laughs hysterically. He rolls from his tummy to his back all the time and has rolled the other way once. He is ticklish around his neck and every time he gets his shirt changed he scrunches up his neck and laughs. He weighs a little over 13 lbs. and is 24 inches long -Does this sound like a personal add for Ben!?! :)
