The Ingram's: Happy 18 Months Benjamin!

Happy year and a half sweet boy! The past 3 months have flown by. You are our greatest joy and we love you infinity times infinity!

Your stats... You are 33.75 inches tall and weigh 26.5 pounds. Which is 75% for height and 60% for weight.

You eat... everything and will try anything! You are not the biggest fan of breakfast but we have found you love yogurt and french toast! Some other food loves include tacos, pizza, cheese, green beans, peas, veggie sticks, pretzels, grapes, blueberries, mac and cheese and of course ice cream!

You love to... play!!! You now notice when we drive by the park and incest that we stop and play!!! So yes sometimes we drive a little out of the way to prevent a melt down! You also LOVE all sports! You have quite the arm on you and can throw both right and left handed. And you love to play soccer. It is so fun to watch you and daddy play together! I know there will be many soccer games in our near future and I can't wait! You also love Elmo and enjoy watching Sesame Street and Thomas & Friends. You also love all things transportation... airplanes, boats, trucks and especially choo-choo-trains. It isn't a regular drive in the car without you pointing out a least 10+ items. You also love to read books and point out all the animals and objects you know.

Your sleep schedule... is normal as it has been... you wake up between 7:30am and 8am, then nap around 2pm for 1.5-2 hours then down for the night by 8:30pm.

You run, jump and dance everywhere!

Big happenings the last 3 months include... first Astros baseball game, trip to Port A with the Ingram family, you started MDO, but only lasted 6 times... which is only 3 weeks. (You just aren't ready... we will try again when you are!) Another airplane trip to Maryland for Poppop Bakers 91st Birthday, and your first true beach experience, lots of fun trips to new zoos... Salisbury, Dallas and Ft. Worth; Another fun trip to Dallas and a trip to the Texas State Fair where you enjoyed your first Fletchers Corny Dog! Your first and second boat ride, first was in Port A when Uncle Richard took us to see the dolphins, and the second was last week when we enjoyed a fun ride on the Waterway Cruiser. You still only have 8 teeth, and we hope your molars come in soon... because they are no fun!

Your daddy still makes you laugh the hardest, but you are still a momma boy at heart! Your 100+ word vocabulary is expanding so fast. Just in the last month you have started stringing multiple words together for mini sentences and amaze us everyday! You are like a sponge and you pick up new things everyday! I am soooo incredibly proud to be your momma and love teaching you new things and seeing you explore everyday.

Benjamin, you are one determined, strong willed, fun loving, serious, expressive, and perfect boy and we are incredibly blessed to call your ours! Happy 18 Months!

And here is a photo recap from the last 3 months. (Will do a separate post of our Maryland and Dallas trips).
