Walkin' & Talkin'

It is as it seems...Bennett does this all the time now!  Thankfully he also knows how to fall down without major injury.  It is a bit of a mummy walk with his arms out but it's sure amazing to us to watch him develop so fast.

Although Bennett still stares down most people for a good 5 minutes or so, when he gets babbling at home he can get pretty loud and make an array of sounds.  He also loves to make a fish face with his lips, click his tongue, clap, and open every cabinet and drawer in sight.  It's adorable, even the messes.

 Paxton wanted to take my picture, so here it is with my new haircut.  It is shorter than I've ever had it.  The photo doesn't show how short the back is, but you can tell I have some bangs now.

 No matter what he's wearing, in photos Bennett's eyes look quite blue.  But there are times when the light hits them a certain way his eyes can have a touch of green.  Bennett does need a haircut and I'm considering doing it myself.  Or maybe I should drive to Ogden to get the pro to show me - what do you think Jen?  I'm a little scared because baby hair is so fine and I fear it would should the tiniest mistakes even more.

 Paxton wanted a picture of his new shoes - they match his clothes perfectly here.  He just LOVES to be outside, I had to buy something brown because black or white seem to get so dirty so fast.  The only time he won't go out is when it's really windy, but otherwise, rain or shine, snow or not, he wants to play out there.

Here is Paxton at daddy's pottery wheel - he seems to enjoy it!  Jared is a bigger man than I (obviously) to let him get so messy.  I don't even like him to play with play dough!  But he is learning so many things, like how to write his name and understand what words begin with which letters and so on.  He still likes to paint with watercolors too.
