Our little Benji turned turned 2 on Monday (November 5)! I can't believe it and neither can anyone else! He is very petite; 21 lbs, 23 if you catch him right after a big meal :) But he is talking up a storm and has loads of personality. He has started telling knock knock jokes which go something like this.
He loves to give hugs and kisses. And when he wants to be really sweet his voice raises to a high squeak and then he talks to you and ooos and ahhhs as he gives hugs or rubs your cheek. He loves animals but almost anything with four legs and fur is a kitty. He calls bunnys Hop Hops. He loves to hop everywhere he goes as well and he tells you what he's doing; hop...hop...hop...hop. He loves Cat in the Hat which he calls Go Go because of the song on the cartoon he watches; Go Go Go on an adventure! His newest loves is trains. Which is what he got for his birthday; a wooden Thomas train track with plenty of trains. He will share any train but his Thomas. He hugs it and gives it kisses.
So, its been six months since I started writing this and I'm amazed about how much he has changed! He no longer tells knock knock jokes and animals actually have names now. It made me realize how much I take all that for granted and how much more I need to stop and enjoy those moments because they are so fleeting. Even though they are replaced by other adorable moments like when he sings louder than anyone else to "We are never ever getting back together" or when he tells you you look like a princess on Sundays and asks you to spin and then says, "You so peetty like a pincess Mama".
Benji is for sure the most adorable 2 year around and we love him very very much.
