♥ Henry ♥

Henry got this hoppity bouncing ball for his birthday.  It’s a little too big for him but it doesn’t stop him from trying to get on it.

I held him on.  Thanks, Aunt Kelly & Family!

We have always been huge Robeez fans thanks to Henry’s first Pediatrician.  But now it’s time for big boy shoes.  These shoes absolutely killed me when we got them in the mail.  So stinkin’ cute.

I can’t express enough the deep love Henry has for animals.  When ever I mention Aunt Stacey’s name he starts listing of animal names and sounds.  He does it several times a day besides that!  He is IN LOVE!

He traded his new sneaks for his rubber boots.  Very fitting for Aunt Tace’s house.

Some other Henry news:

This boy is extremely loving.  He hugs me all day long and gives me kisses and says, “awww, momma!”  I am so thankful to have such a loving boy.

Henry is very polite.  He almost always says thank you if you give him something whether it’s a snack or a juice cup.  He also attempts to say please but can only say “pla”.

He has always been very observant seeing the smallest bird on a roof when I was completely oblivious.  He never ceases to amaze me in this area.  Last night we went to Wegman’s grocery store and he noticed a train that goes around the ceiling way before Dave and I ever noticed it.

Henry can be a little shy when he gets unexpected attention but for the most part is extremely friendly and loves to interact with everyone including strangers.  Many people comment how friendly he is.

He still loves books and often laughs out loud when I read them to him.

He loves to watch older kids play.  Especially if they are throwing balls and really interacting.  He’ll stop and watch them on the playground and laugh out loud.

He doesn’t like his diaper changed but sometimes will tell me before he goes number 2.

He is small for his age.  Big shocker with two small parents. 

We have stopped attempting to do an elimination diet (not sure we were ever successful in completely eliminating anything).  That being said, he has never liked milk but is drinking a lot of chocolate milk and getting a lot of loose stools!  Yuck!

He calls pigs “ings” and then says “oink”.

He loves, loves, loves Maggie and often follows her around saying her name and sometimes terrorizes her with his toys.

Maggie has started sleeping in Henry’s room with him at night.  There are pluses and minuses.  Pluses are we get sleep and our room is much cleaner.  Minuses are there is much more dog hair to vac everyday in the living room and Henry’s room.  Sometimes she wakes him up at night.

Henry kisses his toys frequently.

He watches more tv than before.  OOPs!

Henry is eating less unless he’s hungry and then he eats a lot.  That happens about once a day.  Unless he sees any chocolate and we swear he can read labels because he just knows!

He is saying so many words – over 100 now and saying words together like “bye-bye choo-choo” when we were at the zoo.

He doesn’t like to be naked.
