16 MONTHS!

I has been a busy month for us and already Henry is one month older and one month wiser! Henry is as busy as ever! It seems he learns something new every day! Most recently he has taken a big interest in puzzles! He is talking lots still! Mostly around mom and dad. He is becoming much more independent. He LOVES to feed himself or at the very least see his food. For example, if I am holding a bowl above eye level he pulls my hands down until he can see his food. It has become rather cold however Henry doesnt seem to notice. He constantly wants to be outside. I asked him the other day if he wanted to play inside or outside and before I could even finish my question he yells "OUTSIDE!" Josh and I just laughed and laughed. That was his first "Outside"

Henry is still learning to communicate during those times that he gets a little frustrated. He is continuing to bite and hit. Although he does use those forms of communication when he's upset, he still is a very happy, mellow child. He is very patient with mommy as I am trying hard to learn what he is telling me. ANYWAY.. Enjoy this cute movie of Henry figuring his puzzle out for one of the first times.

First Haircut - November 21, 2010

We trimmed some of Henry's long mullet curls this week. He looks so grown up now! But so handsome. (I'm biased though)
BEFORE................

AFTER.... My sweet Henry was so patient with me. Handsome boy!

Fall Fun

Henry and Josh enjoyed some time outside this weekend. The weather has been incredible!

Butter?

Henry has Pugmire blood in him....What can we say? Everything tastes better with butter! DONT WORRY! He didnt get very far and he was only holding it so that I could buy 10 seconds and finish my banana bread :) PS - ITs frozen with a wrapper

Dragon Boy...

We had some rough moments, but Henry looked adorable! Thank you Aunty Jen for the cute costume! And thank you Grandma Snow for the fun halloween sockys!

Capitals Practice

While I was at work Josh and Henry went to watch the Capitals practice at their practice ice in Ballston mall. It looks like they had a fun time.

Here's Henry watching the players warm-up.

Here's a couple of shots of Henry giving a couple of the players some advice for their next game.

And here's Henry studiously observing the players during drills, at least until he decides he wants another cracker.

Blowing Kisses

We were finally able to get Henry to cooperate and blow everyone a kiss. As you will see in the first video, however, it took a lot of food and bribery to get him to finally do it.

15 Months and growing!

Wow, didnt we JUST celebrate Henry's first birthday?? Henry is SOOO much fun right now!

Henry is learning so much! Here are a few news things about our little man.

Words he LOVES to say:

Set

GO!

Dad

Mama

Shoes

Kiss

Hi

Soccer

Eyes

...Maybe more, I just cant think of them now : )

Animals He knows the sounds of:

Monkey

Dog

Bird

Cow - Mostly

Body Parts he knows:

Ears

Eyes

Nose

Belly Button

Mouth - Almost

He is learning to communicate more easily these days by shaking his head yes and no. It seems like he is pretty accurate with that as far as yes meaning he WOULD like something and no meaning he WOULDNT like something. With all the good communicating that Henry does he does still get angry and upset sometimes and expresses his feelings with biting and hitting. How do children learn to do that!? He is a really good baby though. We love him so much and have been so grateful to have him these last 15 months!

Counting Money? Reading Books? Ready for School???

Henry LOVES exploring! He loves to read, and play with change, and all kinds of stuff! We caught him in the act a few times. Enjoy!

riding BOOT

My Sweet Aunt Jen donated "Boot" to Henry. This was a sweet friend of her sons, and now my son gets to enjoy him. He LOVES boot already. Mostly we are teaching him now to not stand on Boot because of how dangerous that is.....but nontheless, Henry LOVES to play with and on "Boot" Thanks Hall Family!!!

FARMERS MARKET - HIGH POINT NORTH CAROLINA
Grandma Julia and Henry at the farmers market in High Point North Carolina!
There was a very nice man that let Henry pick out his own little gourd and take it home for free. Henry carried it for hours!

Homestead Farm October 2010

Uh...How cute is sweet little Henry! I was having such a hard time getting to hold still for a picture so I just started taking them and got some really sweet moments on camera!


















I think I could be a farmer in the fall. The beautiful colors and cool crisp air. The amazing red barn and animals! The apples and pumpkins and squash! We had so much fun at Homestead farm this week. We are going to have to take Daddy back sometime before it gets too cold. Or maybe to pick out a Christmas Tree! This was so neat!

Did you notice the cool ramp for the goats! That was pretty neat. I am amazed they dont fall off!

This was such a beautiful day! COLD! But beautiful. The flowers were amazing and all the pumpkins were so much fun!
