Benjamin and Caitlin: The Ultimate Tag Team

And a little update.

Ben now has two molars, both on the bottom. His first molar is completely through and the second one is almost there. Teething has been fairly easy for him, or at least it appears that way. He did have diaper rashes, off and on, for the past couple of weeks and a few cranky moments, but overall, he's handling it really well. I'm not looking forward to the canines though; I hear they're the worst.

Ben's verbal comprehension is still improving. I'm amazed by how much he understands. He can retrieve many objects and follow simple instructions, e.g., get the ball, give the ball to mommy, etc.

Ben also will bring an object to Nic or I wanting us to do something with it, and the something always depends on the object. And if we don't comply he'll put the object right in one of our hands and look at us as if to say "Dance, monkey!"

Most often than not Ben will still take two naps per day. For a few weeks he'd dropped the afternoon nap, so we thought it was gone for good, but nope... the afternoon nap appears to be back, alive, and well.
