Benjamin Closer to 3!

On Monday we forgot to celebrate Benjamin's half-birthday :( The cool thing is that he is now closer to 3 than he is to 2. He sure seems more like 3 with all of the amazing things he has been saying lately. I have really noticed this week how much he has changed since just this past summer when he was only saying 1-2 words at a time. We are able to have conversations with him and it is like having a little friend with me all day (of course most friends don't ask you the same question hundreds of times in a row). Benjamin has been loving the Spring, and getting to spend so much time outside. Just this morning he helped me water the plants and managed to get only a little bit wet in the process ;) He has also been asking so many questions about the natural world, like where birds live and what flowers are made of. He's just not a baby anymore. Thankfully, we have another little baby in our lives now, and we really need to treasure this time!
