20 months old

When Benjamin is coughing or gagging, he reaches behind himself and pats his back. It must be from Michael because he's the only one I know that pats him on his back.

He names parts of the bow and "cello". Today he had his baby on his lap for cello "practice" and used the baby's hand to tell me all the parts of the bow!

He pretends to write different letters and words on his paper. He can draw circles and lines on command and does little squiggles for words.

He walked into he room yesterday and said: "Mama's keys. Daddy said, "Where'd you get Mama's keys?" He used a different tone for daddy's voice.

He calls me "Hope." When he's serious he will look at us like he is 20 years older and say "Lamoni." or "Hope." with a tone that says "really??" Or when he's in his crib and wants out he will yell "Hope! Want up or down! Hoooope! Want up or down!" For some reason he says up or down. It's probably from me asking him all the time if he wants up or down.

Conversation between me and Benjamin:
B: Wanna eat! Wanna eat!
Me: What do you want to eat?
B: Wanna eat water!

When he wants up he says "Hold you!" I tried to get him to say "Hold me" so now he'll say "Hold you me!"

I was reading him the book, "Are You My Mother?" In it, the baby bird is looking for his mother and asks all the different animals if they are his mother. Every page Benjamin excitedly pointed at me and told the baby bird "There she is! There's Mama!!"
