Benny pointing

What Benjamin learned this weekend

- He learned to throw! (See video) and he throws everything!

- He learned to point! (see photo later) and he points at everything!

- He learned to shake things that make noise. He's been rattling his rattles a little all along, but now as soon as he picks up something that makes noise, he shakes and shakes. His favorite is a little jar of toothpicks. Shake, shake, shake!

Bathtime.. throwing a ball!

What Ben learned this week

- When you say "Bye bye" Ben waves on cue! Not necessarily at anyone, but he moves his fingers. He's been waving for a few weeks, but not necessarily in response to anything.

- He learned how to clap this week - so cute!!

- He learned how to drop something and has a blast letting things fall from his grasp.

- He finally got the hang of putting finger food into his mouth.

- He knows that a crayon makes marks on paper. We got bathtub crayons too and he loves drawing on the tub.
