December, Grandma and Grandpa, Christmas
December was a busy month! Ben is learning so many things so quickly these days. He’s fascinated by cameras, so we’ve given him my first old digital camera. He even almost knows what to do with it. 😉
Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Cindy visited for Christmas and Ben had lots of fun with yet more new playmates. He learned to say “gramma” and made a pretty good attempt at “dindy.” He learned that grandparents and aunts just can’t resist the word “UP!!?”
He did have fun opening presents on Christmas Day, although it took three sessions to get through all of his. It was hard to have to keep distracting him from new toys so he could open the next one – he wanted to just be able to play with some of them. He got lots of great stuff – books, wooden puzzles and blocks, duplo trains, cars, a music cube, a bead maze… the list goes on. Thanks to everyone!
And of course, he has new words:
- Gramma (seems to mean *any* grandparent at times)
- ball
- uggk (means hug. SO sweet! He also gives kisses!)
- guck (truck)
- tactor (tractor)
- book
- cacker (cracker)
- wawk (means fork)
- moon
- cup
