Tub Talk

Here is sweet Benjamin taking a bath the night before his 17-month birthday. The video highlights some of his favorite words as well as his love of the water.

Happy 17 Months! You've learned so much!

One hundred and eleven words!
To commemorate Benjamin's 17 Month Birthday, we've compiled a list of the 111 words (and/or signs) that he uses regularly-- all of his own accord, these are not the product of mere mimicry-- he knows what all these mean, what they describe, and in many many cases how they taste!
