Benjy at 19 months

How is it that it has been two months since I last posted? I try to make a note of all the little things that I want to remember as time goes along so that I can recall them when it comes to updating the blog, but there are so many that inevitably, I won't remember them all. Which really defeats the purpose of having this blog. Must try harder. Must try to make more time in the day. Must just get round to the things that are important to me. Although, if not updating the blog during my evenings means spending more time doing things that allow me to spend more of my day with Benjy - well, really, that's the point.

Benjy - also known as Benjy-chops, Munchkin-chops, Mr Gorgeous, Benjy-pupsicle, and a host of other things which aim, unsuccessfully I think, to capture his utter deliciousness, is just the most amazing little boy. Still - and it has been every day for 18 months now - I think that surely this is as good as it can possibly get. He is just so funny, so kind, so lovely, so soft and squidgy, so affectionate, I just can't get enough of him. And he loves me so much too - often, he will be in his highchair having breakfast, or in his cot playing while I sit with him, and he just asks to hold my hand, then takes it and just sits, holding my hand, just like that. And sometimes, he will stop whatever he is doing to kiss me, or cuddle me, then go back to his games. Doesn't get much better than that, does it?
