Lots of talking

Here are two short clips demonstrating my new linguistic abilities. Not only do I know lots of words in English, I also know a few in various animal languages. In the first clip, I am a tad distracted by my snack and by the camera. In the second one, I got a little camera shy at the end because I was feeling a bit under the weather and I was self conscious about my runny nose.

There's a window there!

This weekend I took a trip to the Institute of Contemporary Art with Mommy, Daddy and Uncle Andy. I spent most of the trip confined to my stroller but that was good because I would have been too tempted to touch everything. I had fun running up and down this walkway from one gallery to the next. The wall was all glass and had a great view of the harbor.
Yes, I am wearing the ham hoodie again, in case you didn't notice.

So cold

It is very cold outside today as indicated by the frost on the window. Allow me to point it out to you.



I think I'll play inside today.

Ham is very in this season

Check out my new custom designed hoodie. Look familiar?



Thanks, Uncle Andy!

So much to say!

I have recently experienced a vocabulary explosion. I talk all the time now! I know too many words to list here. My newest word is "umbrella". I am still working on it, but I practice a lot when I read my alphabet book and see the picture of the umbrella. One of my favorite words is "bubble", which is how I refer to my bath. (Mommy and Daddy have to spell it in front of me because I get waaaaaay too excited about the idea of bathing.) I am starting to learn a lot of phrases also. I say "Thank you", "Oh, cool!" and "I don't know". I also like to yell "Go! Go!" when football ("ball-ball") is on TV. I discovered last weekend, this also works for Rocky IV.
I also like to identify people in pictures or on TV, but I usually call everyone either "Daddy" or "Elmo".

Ben's Photo Montage: 9 to 18 months

I'm 18 months old today! Mommy put together a bunch of pictures of me for your enjoyment. (Please forgive the overly sentimental music - that's just the kind of mood she was in!)

My red wagon

I like to spend as much time as possible in my new wagon. It's not just good for transportation. It also works well as a lounge chair and as a bed.

Happy New Haircut!

I started off 2007 by changing my look. I got my first haircut!
