Benjamin continues to crawl faster, pull up more, move around the coffee table with ease, and open any and every cabinet door in sight. He also started waving bye-bye and clapping his hands. We went on our first walk of the season, it went 1,000,000 times better than the walks last year! So maybe I will get in shape this summer....if summer ever comes.
B also really enjoys watching cars drive by our duplex.
