14 Months

Now at 14 months, Benjamin definitely seems much more like a toddler than a baby. He is still not walking, but he is so close!! He loves walking around the house and outside while holding on to my fingers. He even sometimes just holds on to one hand. He also loves to push anything that will move. Usually, at the end of our walk he will want to get out and push the stroller down the block. He is big into exploring and is starting to become quite the climber.


He likes to climb onto chairs. Here, he is reading in his old bouncey chair.


His face looks so grown up!


He loves being outside.


Exploring under the patio table


I was unloading the dishwasher and I knew Benjamin was standing next to it, but when I turned around, this is what I saw.


He originally climbed into the stroller basket head first, but then couldn't move because it gets to be so narrow. So instead I helped him into it legs first and he then figured out how to sit upright.


He pulled out the stuffed animals that were in this box and then made himself comfortable in it.

By the way, we bought our new home!! It is a new construction, 3 bedroom, 2 bath (1443 sq ft) in northwest Champaign. Our closing date is October 19th.
