For Aunt Faith, in Bangladesh

So what is Ben up to besides swimming you ask?

Here's a list off the top of my head:

Likes -
Clapping - he'll often get your eye contact, give a little clap then shrug into his shoulder coyly.
Crawling - he knows how to get up on hands and knees, but prefers the speed of his army crawl.
Feeding himself - cheerios, peas, melon - he's fast and accurate
Motorboat - you know, the lip buzzing kind.
Petting the animals - I'm not kidding, Charlie seeks him out.
Standing - and he's tall.
Singing - he'll often join along in a voice gentler than his speaking voice. Melts me every time.
Bath time with Daddy - he's usually a prune before they're done.
His blankie - he's chosen his lovey and we never leave home without it - he gives the same excited smile/laugh for it as he does for Keith and me.
Walks in the stroller / backpack - he'll often beg to go back in.
Yogurt.
Wheels of any variety.
Watching other kids play.
Balls.
"Fix, fix, fix, fix" - 100% boy. Keith's boy to be precise.
Peek-a-boo - he likes it best when he has the blankie, even takes a good long pause behind the curtain. Funny every time.
He likes to tease us, too - offer the pacifier, snatch it back. Such a prankster.

Dislikes -
Sitting still.
Being held (see above)
Teething - but who would?
Sitting still.
Being alone. Ever. For even a minute.
Brussel sprouts.
Cold water. Cold anything, actually. Except melon - that belongs on the likes list.
Did I mention sitting still?
