i never want to forget...

my 19th month old.
and how...

you (IT NEVER FAILS) pop down the tabs in a cup (JUST LIKE YOUR DAD). i swear, we didn't teach him this. and he has been doing it for quite some time. it just melts my heart every time i observe him diligently working on a cup.

how you love our little family. at any given point he will point to da-da, momma, & buh! it makes you so happy.

you are silly. always coming up with a joke. especially with your toys.



you still sleep with your arms around my neck. totally snuggled.

you clean. if there is a spill, you are the first to run for a towel to wipe it up!

you love other people. always wondering about daret (darrin), mare-mare, & Aa! (and we can't go far with out seeing a baby & having to stop & say hi or wave.)


you love coins. you feel so special & proud when you get some pennies to play with. and then you stash them all over the house.

you know where on/off switches to toys are. and i didn't know they existed.

you are sloooowly working on potty training! you know how to sign if you have to poop, & just today you told me you were going to pee! awesome! and you get a prize. 3 chocolate chips. HA!

you love going to dads basketball games. (i opened up Yahoo the other day & there were 2 nba players. it was a close up, you could just see their jerseys. B says, bakeeball! how did he know?)

you will sit quietly while i groom you (nails, ears, nose) IF you can inspect what i have done after.


you have mastered your animal puzzle. you know all the names of the animals & where they go. naturally, you like to joke & put the wrong pieces in the wrong spot. and then you laugh so hard.

you always want to watch elmo on the computer. but you only like a video for about 15 seconds. you just like to browse.

you currently are lifting weights. you remembered you hadn't for a while. so you got out your 3 lb weight.


you are obsessed with being UP on the kitchen counter.


you still love to read books!


you are such a joy, little bentley!
it is so fun being your mom.
i'm so glad you are mine.

andrea. yes. (I MEAN, WHY WOULDN'T HE BE?! HA!) it was very hard to take a quick pic (with iphoto) that was appropriate. quite a few were instantly deleted. :)
