Plaza Art Fair

On Friday we took Ben to the plaza art fair for dinner.  He enjoyed being strolled around people watching and playing near the fountain, but he particularly liked a red balloon he recieved and playing with the puppies at the pet adoption.

As for updates on him, he's starting to babble more and sometime making words out of it.  He can now say 'more' and understands it.  It's nice to have the communication and I can't wait until he can say more as he still screams when we don't know what he wants.  We have to tell him to show us and the majority of the time that affectively works for us to understand him.  (Although sometimes that means it's for things he's not supposed to have or play with.)

He's a ball of energy and loves to have fun and be chased around.  That seems to be his favorite game right now.  He's also pretty good at throwing the ball around (still working on the catch part) and hates to hear the word 'no'.  We try to use it sparingly, but when necessary and generally that ends with his lower lip stuck out and tears.  Hopefully this phase is short.
