18 Months Old!

We made it to a year and a half with only 1 scar! Bennet weighs 28.4 pounds and loves anything having to do with trains. My dad took him to the trainyard and the conductor blew the whistle especially for Ben. He was shaking from the overdose of excitement...even peed a little bit. I also found he loves videos of trains emerging from tunnels; an actual purpose for youtube other than dramatic chipmunks. Plus, the not-so-subtle sexual connotations of trains and tunnels never gets old (giggle giggle).
With his new "big boy" status comes certain problems as well. He is in the process of getting his molars. The inevitable crankiness that comes with 4 huge teeth tearing apart your gums in 4 different places has caused some frustration (both on his part and mine...). Whoever invented baby motrin, thank you for making it taste good. He licks his lips when he sees the dropper...aka "baby heroin", the "red stuff", or simply "Mo". I caught him trying to sell some to the 6 month old down the street, saying something about taking the edge off. We had a talk about the "slippery slope" of mild pain killers and he's now in a 13 step program....ahhh they grow up so fast.
