Last week we took Ben to the doctor's office and learned that he's in the 90th percentile for height and 75th for weight. He's tall and skinny. In the past month he's changed so much and become so much fun. But don't take my word for it, read what Ben's aunt, uncle and grandparents have to say. Enjoy the pictures and video. See you next month!
From Daddio--
One of my very favorite memories of Ben over the Easter weekend was when he learning to walk. He would get started walking behind his truck and start smiling from ear to ear. You could tell that he was very pleased with himself. Not every try was perfect, he took some good tumbles but there were no tears. He would just get right back up and try again.
From Uncle Casey--
Where do I begin? Seems like everything this guy does is an exciting learning experience for him and an adorable moment for anyone watching. He's growing so quick. A few highlights are watching him walk (assisted) with his truck for the first time, watching him become the 2nd Lowdermilk to pass out at Easter Mass (awesome), and his Superman pose that he's so proud of but not exactly sure why. The obvious standout for me though was when Brady brought him into the living room to sleep with me for a couple hours because Kristina and him weren't feeling so hot. Although I was unconscious at the time, this nap was it for me. Having Ben rest his head on my shoulder while we both slept with one arm up - perfect. I think he's taking after his uncle!
Lowlight - his 4am cryfest. Like clockwork I tell ya.
From Grammy--
The Superman arm--this is so funny, he does pump his arm in the air with such a deliberate conviction, it definitely means something to him, but it just makes me giggle. Of course, pushing his truck and looking so pleased with himself as he navigates across the living room carpet, making his determined cry of hatchaa, hatchaa, hatchaa. This must be so exciting for him, to be 'on his own'. Seeing Ben sitting proudly in his new red wagon was just adorable, too. He was so curious about all the trimmings, the sippy cup holder, the holes in the bottom where he could watch the sidewalk go by. He held on tight, clapped his hands, squealed and just beamed! It was so fun to watch him.
From Nana--
The suit and the tie. Pushing his little car and walking. Playing with his cousins who all wanted to hold him like he was their teddy bear. Of course, the Superman salute. Enjoying his Grammy and Daddio.
