Fast forward to May because I am so excited....Words, words, words! Bennett is talking and it is the most exciting thing I have ever heard. I am certain that everyone is exciting when their child says their first words. I am also certain however that Kurt and I likely appreciate it a bit more. He has been saying 'Luge' (Luke) for quite a while (I think it was his official first word once I realized what he was saying) and 'mama' but it wasn't until March that I really knew for sure he was saying words. He started slow and now is adding words on a regular basis. My favorite this week is 'choo choo' for train. It's more of a high pitched 'too too'. I am determined to get it on video. He changed 'Luge' to "ga-ga" (unsure why). Elmo is 'La La' (from LaLa LaLa LaLa LaLa Elmo's World). Dada, NaNa (Nena), shoes (sues) and how could I forget NO! nonononononono. Other favorite things lately with the boys... Luke cuddling in the morning before we get him ready for school. He sucks his thumb and puts his head on my shoulder and snuggles down. Sometimes when I say we have to get ready for school and stand up he keeps his legs bent so his legs won't hit the floor in an attempt to extend the cuddle. He digs me. I can tell.
Bennett gives hugs all the time and the best thing now is that he pats your back during the hug. He obviuosly got that from us giving him hugs but to see and feel him doing it is the cuttest thing ever. Will try and video or photo that as well!
