Look Who's Talking

Ben is exploding with words these past few weeks.  I remember going to his 2 year appointment and telling  Dr. Bob that Ben was putting 2 words together to get his point across.  Now we hear:

"Huuuu-ja waderfall, bear, fish"  Oh, the bears like to find fish in the huge waterfall.  Ben loves to use the word "HUGE".
"BIG, huuja mooovie, rock-ket bast off into sky, up high...pffffshhhh" Telling us about the Hubble i-max movie at the Science Museum.  He loves the part when the space shuttle blasts off.  At the end he makes the sound.  (Uncle John should also love the choice of  "Big, Huge", my MN boy.)
Other favorite sayings we hear ALL of the time:

"ME FIRSS!"  Me, first.
"Noder one."  Another one.
"Just one."  Yah, right.
"More, more."
"NACK!"  He yells this right after finishing breakfast and lunch...SNACK!
"Cane-o" Anything pointy is called a volcano.
"Up high, ky" for anything flying over head
"Ma, ma where ARE you? Down-tairs?"  Heard whenever I am not 5 feet from Ben and sometimes in the middle of the night from his bed.
"Awesome!" "Dude, Coolah", or simply "coolah"
When he's counting things, "leven, fourteen, fourteen, fourteen"
"Sam, Farley, Ma, Pa" Ben loves it when we are all together and goes through our names a few times quickly smiling and looking at each of us.  He does this in the car and at the table.

And, of course, it couldn't be a house full of little boys without:
"Poopy Sam, Stinky, Ewww" in the car over and over as his brothers laugh.

It felt like we had gone a few years without the potty talk and now we are back.  At least everyone is laughing instead of crying!

Even with all this growing up too fast....Ben is still my sweet little baby....

Sleeping at Ermie and Grandpa D's at Thanksgiving.   All of his favorites with him...picture book, mil-lk, paint brush (tooth brush) and if you look closely an "animal" curled up next to his chin.  Any stuffed beanie baby will do but his favorites are doggie, cow, and whatever his brothers are taking to bed.
