Yesterday I had to work all day. Nathan texted me at work to tell me that Ben can now catch a ball. I was so excited! I even ran out of my office to my coworkers to tell them about my proud mommy moment. Ben is 17 months old and I don't really know what is age appropriate versus what isn't, but I just think it is so cool that he can catch a ball, with both hands and he doesn't even clutch the ball to his chest! Ben was even backing up farther and farther and still catching the ball. He has the timing down and catches it in mid air. He can also aim the ball and throw it very well! Nathan and Ben practiced quite a bit and then demonstrated when I got home. I was seriously way more excited than a normal person would have been I'm sure. He can already play catch! I think part of the reason that I was so excited was that Nathan was so excited and was a proud daddy. He can also kick the ball and run and kick it as he goes! It is so cool! I think we have a future athlete in the making!!!
Our little man is also sleeping better at night for the most part. He slept through the entire night from 8pm to 7am for the first time EVER a few days ago!!! We were sooooo excited! He has a pretty bad cough right now that seems to be worse at night, so not every night has been a good night's sleep but we are making progress! Our baby is growing up...fast!
Soon I will post about Halloween and Cary and Brenda's visit!
