Oh how I love patterns and numbers. Thank you Avila for being the perfecting our little family. 

Friday Photo Favorites

So very much I want to remember about this cheesy toddler.

He loves his Daddy so very much. He said "dada" months before "mama" and is still the biggest Daddy's guy. 

He just really loves being one of the guys. At Mass his most favorite person is Mr. Tom, a 94 year old gentleman, who is just amazing. These past few Sundays Bennett has been trying to sneak out of our pew to visit Mr. Tom. 

Bennett's list of people in order:

Daddy-Oh the love between these two is so precious and Philip's greeting every time he walks in the door is sweetest display of sincere joy.

Mommy -finally he says my name and it's the best!

Poppy, Poppy, Poppy -Poppy is actually ahead of me if we are at their house. Every truck he sees Bennett inquires if it's Poppy and if not, then if we can see Poppy. Poppy also got to experience the joy that most Mom's have, when Bennett spent the night at Gia and Poppy's, Bennett would not let Poppy out of his sight. Finally, Poppy had to ask for some Bennett distraction so he could get some work done. He was also convinced that Pope Benedict is Poppy as well.

Nana -Bennett can be completely asleep and the moment we pull into Nana's driveway he is up with "Yay Nana!"

Bennett helps out with the Mary Colette and George's PE class at Co-op and for a few weeks we did square dancing. At home he made up his own dance and would call it out for all of us to follow. Of course I didn't get a video but trust me it was awesome.

He jumps really well, both feet clear the ground by a few inches. And he is faster than Eleanor, which causes delight for one and heartache for another. 

His vocabulary has exploded lately and the best part is hearing him call out his siblings every morning. He knows each one and is the first to call PT-PT. He calls Avila, Sweet Baby Girl. Heart Melt!

Bennett is the absolute goofiest. When he is caught doing something he thinks he ought not be doing he stands real still and gives a little wave "hi, all is okay here".

His newest addiction is trains. He lays down on the floor to be eye level and can play for hours. 

He shakes his head yes in one swift very intentional full body bow. And when he encounters food he enjoys he shimmies. 

Bennett, you are such a delight and bring such joy and happiness to our family. How very blessed we are to have you in our family.
