Benjaminh's World- Picture Update

This week I met my little cousin, E. He's pretty cute. I was telling him about Vietnam and about how we grow hair in Vietnam. He wasn't too impressed.
Mama cheered him up but I was still thinking of nicknames for the little baldy...made me giggle a bit.

That night I was doing my newest trick (in my new size 18 month pj's, yeah, I know I'm only 9 months old but whatever... I got these great PJ's at the airport from S. Thanks S! I hope I get to meet you at dinner next Friday.)

Oh, my trick? Put things into the bucket, dump the bucket, start over.
This trick requires intense concentration.
And know what? You even have to learn to "let go" of the toy...I learned that this week as well!

This toothbrush is my all time favourite toy right now. Someone left it for me in a bag on the front porch...thanks anonymous person.
And eating? I'm doing it. To the tune of 1 kg 120 grams and 3 1/2 cm in a month!

I'm growing! Fast! My Dr. says if I maintain this rate of growth I'll be 8 foot 11 inches by the time I'm 16! Funny guy (he's a Newfoundlander...in case that explains it for you).

And that Vietnamese growth chart? I rock that chart. I'm in the stratosphere. On the Canadian chart I'm 75th percentile for weight and 50th for height (or the other way around...can't exactly remember...). I was 20th for both on February 3rd.

I love sweet potatoes. My all time favourite. Today though I met peas for the first time and I'm in love...
