Beebum

 Our little man is growing so fast, and it's hard to get a picture of him that's more than the top of his head or a blurred shot of a boy on the move.  I have been capturing him on video and also keeping a journal on our counter so I can jot down the cute things that he says in this amusing stage of verbal development.
Here are some of my favorite Bini quotes and antics:
*When I placed his lunch in front of him "No thank you mama, chocolate ice cream"
*When I asked where his sock went "humm.... wonder.... hiding"
* Whenever he sees one of us writing something he'll try to look at the paper and then say "awe, cute"
*Whenever we/he puts shoes on he says "ballet shoes on!" (and he loves putting Ella's shoes on!) 
*Whenever I cough he says "bless you mama"
*When he says bless you or thank you he always says the person's name "Thank you Ella" it's very cute and he's very polite (when he's not screaming for what he wants.)
*He often says "(ex)cuse me mama" before he asks for something.
* My all time favorite is when he reaches for me and says "rock a baby" this he says when he's sleepy or wants to cuddle and we'll wrap his blanket around him and he melts into us.
* He narrates his life, which is pretty nice "trash, trash trash" means I better check what he's put in the trash and "water, water" means he's headed toward the dog's bowl.
* When asked what his name is he always says "Go" but when he sees a picture he'll point to himself and say "beebum"
*After a song is finished, whether on a cd or in music class, if he enjoyed it he's shout "woo, hoo, song!"
* "I do it!" I must have heard this one a million times today! sometimes followed my temper tantrums if it is indeed something he's not allowed to do.
*When I pick him up he'll say "Heavy!" I am now being careful not to say this every time I pick him up. But on the upside of repeating what I say, when I do his hair he now says "nice hair" (and he does have great hair!)
*He loves to sing, Ella taught him a song from school (which she does sign language to) "apple, apple, a, a, a"(going through the alphabet and making the letter sound) Bini has taken that to the extreme he uses it to sing throughout his day "blanket, blanket, b,b,b, diaper, diaper, d,d,d, shoes, shoes, ballet shoes on, door, door, ddd, car, car, c,c,c..." he doesn't always get it right but he's just so cheerful as he sings.
* "1,2,4,5,7,9,10" remarkably consistent in his inaccurate counting.
* He now knows most of his colors and he loves to point them out, especially "YELLOW!" (he was on a kick in november when I must have heard yellow 500 times a day, usually pointing to thing that were not yellow)
* He loves to sing ABC's; much like his counting he gets the general tune and skips many chunks of letters
* He likes to eat grapefruit, but wont eat a hot dog.
* He's the kid who stands on the little slide in the play area at the mall waving and shouting "HI" to everyone who passes.  (our boy is sweet but he is not shy and he is very loud!)
* I pulled into a parking lot and heard Bini say "ouch, hurt" me-"Bini, what's wrong" b-"ears" I turned to see him with his arm over his face "window" he said. I realized the sun was shining through the window into his eyes, I find this so amusing because he has become such a northwest babe.
 Fun with friends, Emma, Ella, Judson, Bin, and Lilli
 oh, we have plans for these two!

 finally got some pictures of him!



 He loves being a "big helper"
 still shorter than Summit
Oh, nice tiger stripes Bini!
