Ben is just starting to walk. He is taking steps, but can still crawl faster, so that is generally his method of locomotion. His hair is growing, but mostly at the back, making us wonder if he will have curls like Jane. He has eight teeth but his bottom molars are coming in now.
His favorite toy is a ball and he loves to throw anything he is holding. He also loves his walker. He gets very frustrated when people take things from him, mostly because he can't chase them to get them back. He also loves reading books. He is talking more than his sister and uses signs very well, especially "milk," "please," "more," "turn," "food," and "thank you." We are talking about weaning the babies and I think Ben would have no problem weaning if it weren't for his sister. He doesn't frequently sign for milk, but if Rosie is nursing he gets very jealous and throws an absolute tantrum if he doesn't get a turn, too.
Ben sleeps better than Rosie. He sleeps through the night from 7pm - 6:30 am and would probably sleep longer if he didn't share a room with his sister. He takes one nap during the day for about 2.5-3.5 hours.
