OMSI

We got to visit OMSI (Portland's science museum) this weekend with our dear friends, Jim and Deb and their son, Levi. Ben had a blast! Although most of the displays are kind of over his head (he mostly liked pushing the little chairs and stools around), they do have a Science Playground room just for toddlers that Ben really enjoyed.

And Sunday we got to play outside for a bit...

Let's see, Ben's vocabulary is growing every day... so many new words, that I can't hardly keep track anymore! He did say his own name on Saturday for the first time, along with "Otis, Jim, Deb, pocket, button, plate (pate), spoon (poon), wheel (wee-a-wee)", oh, and he calls every woman that is not mommy, "Patti" -like news anchors, or any other female on TV. Poor Deb was "Patti" all weekend, though he did actually say Deb a few times.

Here is a little clip of Ben showing us his: Happy, Sad, Hungry, and Tired.
