How Do You Eat Your Oreo?

Ben had his first Oreo cookie yesterday as a reward for eating all his dinner. I gave it to him joking with Matt about how is he going to eat his Oreo.  Like the commercials... some people eat it whole, some people twist and lick out the filling, etc. I fully expected Ben to just bite into it or shove it all in whole and eat it like he eats everything else.

Well...

 

 

He is a twist a lick kind of guy! Who would have thought! I was surprised!

 

 

 There isn't a lot going on here these days. We are excited about Thanksgiving next week! We are headed down to Alabama for the long weekend. It has been awhile since we have been down so we are really looking forward to it. I just hope the babies will do alright on the long car ride.

 

 

 Benedict is currently having a conniption fit because he can't get the little board books back in the box they came and it has been driving him crazy all morning. He gets so frustrated! He has very little patience with things. He has also gotten very loud . I have been trying to teach him to take it down a notch but how do you make a one year old be quieter? If anyone has ideas let me know!

 

 Ben loves the evening time after dinner when daddy is home to play with him. His favorite games right now are looking at the little people animals and learning what noise they make. He seems to know quite a few because I find him holding an animal and making it's noise when he thinks I am not listening.

 



He loves this time with daddy!
 

 

Felicity is growing through a growth spurt ! She is learning to be more content and not cry all the time. She now enjoy baths ( which she used to hate) and I have found they help her be more calm in the evening. She is still extremely attached to me, but she spends a lot more time watching her brother and jumping in the Jumperoo on her own now . I look forward to that day when she can play with Ben too.
