Rebecca is getting to be such a big girl. Before she turns 5 months, she's already grabbing her feet when laying down on her back. She's been rolling over for a few weeks now. She still smiles so big whenever she sees someone or gets attention from someone.
Ben is quite a big boy too. He still loves hiding, behind pillows, curtains, or under blankets. Whenever he hears the garage door come up or I tell him that Daddy is home, he wants to hide. He still loves to play horsey, seems like even more than ever. He just holds on as he rides on my or Scott's back around the house. He usually asks for me to play with him, probably because he knows that I will give in.
The last couple of weeks, Ben has pretended that he's going to the store, especially if there's an empty bag in the family room or kitchen for him to pick up. He will name off a grocery list if you ask him what he's buying. His list usually starts with oatmeal, but he also lists oranges, butter, eggs, bread, and milk on his list. I just keep asking him what else he's getting, and he'll name one item each time after I ask. He can list several items before he gets to the bottom of his list. Ben went with me to the grocery store this morning. I would've left him at home so I could get it done more quickly, but when he realized I was going, he followed up with "me come", and I couldn't say no. He doesn't like sitting in the front of the cart.
Ben also really enjoys driving the cars and could spend 20 minutes or more in the drivers seat of the car, hitting buttons and pretend driving. It's still his usual ritual to ask if he can drive as we walk toward the van from his school each afternoon. His newest thing in the car is to ask for "window open". Now, he likes for the windows to be open when he's "driving".
