Bath Time!!!

Henry was having an especially fun time in his bath today so we thought we should snap a few shots for everyone to enjoy.

Proudly showing off the spaghetti sauce still on his face

Henry is learning how to say "cheese" on command for his pictures

It's not as much fun when you get soap in your eye

Natural History Museum

Today we decided to head down to the National History Museum. Henry is really starting to enjoy identifying different animals and making their distinct noises. His favorite is still the dinosaur and I'm sure it will remain that way for some time. Below are a couple of pictures we took of Henry loving everything. I've never seen him get so excited in public before.

Admiring more dinosaur dioramas 

Henry hasn't seen "Happy Feet" yet so he didn't know what to make of the penguin

Henry loves to make monkey noises

You can guarantee anything in the museum that said "Touch Me" now has Henry's fingerprints 

Henry also loved the minerals and gemstones, here he was learning about magnets

We think it was a pretty good day for Henry. For some of the other stuff that we saw today you can check out Josh's blog, Fuzzy Memories, although I must admit it is a lot more boring than Henry and my blogs.

Shoes, Smiles, and SNOW!

January 26, 2011 Huge Snowstorm! Henry was fascinated by the snow. He stood by the window all night.

-Picture by Daddy- He has incredible talent

Henry LOVES to try on shoes! These are Jake's. He's got mine on below as well as Josh's. Silly boy

The other funny movie...

Henry is skiing and swimming in this video...ENJOY!

Funny movies

Henry has learned some pretty funny and cute things. He is imitating everything he sees! Occasionally Josh will watch skiing or swimming on TV....

Henry is also learning to throw and catch his baseball and football

17 months and 2 days!

Happy 17 months sweet boy! There are so many people that LOVE you!



Im getting later and later at doing these. I am so sorry! It has been a busy month for Henry! He has learned and LOVES his puzzles! He is feeding himself with a spoon!... but not eating his veggies. At least very well. He is imitating more then ever! He loves to watch sports on TV. He imitates the skiers and the swimmers which is hilarious and does "touchdown!" every time he sees football on TV. He is talking all the time! So many new words all the time. It has been such a fun month. We visited SLC for Christmas and so we were once again flying. Henry always does well though. He LOVES making animal noises and playing "wheres your nose, bellybutton, ear...etc" He needs another haircut...already! The life of a mommy of a little boy though huh :) Well, there is so much more to tell about Henry's growth so watch for more pictures!

Christmas in Utah - 2010

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I should preface this whole post by telling my family how sorry I am that I did not carry my camera around MORE! I have shots of mostly just Christmas morning. We made so many fun memories though! We did girls night and made watches and crafts, and enjoyed Cafe Rio! We (I) have to get my feel for Cafe Rio at least once while in UT! We visited Temple Square this year. I am so grateful we got to do that. They had several different cultural Nativity Scenes. That was my favorite part. It was so neat!

Henry was great with family! He enjoyed all of his cousins!

I am so grateful he transitions well. Thank you to both of our families for such a wonderful vacation and Christmas! We miss you and love you so much! Thank you for the good times!

OH yeah...

Oh yeah....few things I forgot in my last post...

I ordered this super cute stocking for Henry weeks before we left for UT. Shipping said that it should arrive at the latest by the 17th. PHEW! We left for UT before the mail came on the 18th. WELL, due to a "HUGE" (maybe an inch or two) storm it did not come :(. I was really sad about it. We did finally get it days after we returned. We will use it next year though! We had to put almost ALL of our Christmas decorations up high this year. Silly toddler...he wants to get into EVERYTHING!

Christmas in Virginia - 2010

Before we fly to Utah for Christmas Josh and I feel it is important to have our own holiday celebration. We do this for a couple of reasons, 1. to help us establish our own traditions 2. to be together with just the three of us and 3. it is toooooo difficult to take all of our Christmas to UT just to bring it back. So we enjoyed a really really nice turkey dinner and enjoyed opening gifts with each other. Enjoy our pictures!
For the first time Henry really really enjoyed unwrapping his gifts!
He received some great toys from the Willett family. Thank you so much you guys!

Henry got a dinosaur for Christmas this year. The little remote control is a bug which is hilarious, but then it took Henry a minute to get used to the little guy. ENJOY!

Playing with Friends

We have been so lucky to have some of Henry's friends over recently! Henry really is great with other kids! There isnt much explanation needed, so enjoy the pictures!
Uh....Look how adorable! Paige was so much fun that night. She would crawl around on our rug without ever leaving it. She would get a little worried if she got too close to the edge. SO FUNNY!

Obviously our pictures are out of order. Poor Alex crashed AFTER they played for a while. It was sweet though to find that he had fallen asleep on the floor as I was laying Henry down.

Best buds! Sharing and playing together. They really do get along great!
