Sweet Henry - 19 Months

I must say that I am really loving my sweet husband's new hobby. He was able to capture these sweet moments yesterday in Old Town Alexandria. It was a bit cold, but we had so much fun. We started with Henry sitting in front of doors of all colors, which turned into a rather fun game for him. He'd started pointing at one that he wanted to pose at if we walked by it and plunk right down until daddy took his picture. Because of it's location in proximity to the airport Henry is looking up a lot at all the airplanes...anyway, enjoy these fun pictures and feel free to check out Josh's new online photo journal for more of his hobby.

Henry at the Park

We took Henry to the park in our apartment complex the other day and took a few pictures as he was playing. Here are a couple of pictures of him enjoying the outdoors and the semi-good weather we are having.




Josh put a couple of his favorites up on his blog, you can check them out HERE. We are so excited for summer to almost be here and we are looking forward to spending tons of time out in the sun.

19 Months...And several Days!

I wanted to write on Sunday about Henry turning 19 months, which is actually the day he turned 19 months, however I had a hard time getting to it. So here I am almost a week later and writing about my sweet Henry turning 19 months. He is such a big boy. I cant imagine him being any older but every day he is! Older, and taller, and smarter! It is truly an amazing thing to witness. Henry has learned some funny behaviors this month! He enjoys sticking his finger way up his nose! EW! He thinks its funny that I think its gross, so we play that game often. He loves dancing, and has recently completely moved into a big boy bed. The first and second night he didnt come out once, however he did fall out of bed. And then our handy Daddy built Henry a guardrail and he has stayed put resting with no falls. He did have one nap where he simply DID NOT want to go to sleep, however we did have kids over which I believe contributed to his reluctance, but other then that he has not gotten out of bed. Even in the morning or after naps when he wakes up he hangs out in bed until we poke our head in and tell him its time to get up. I am truly blessed. We have touched a little on the potty training but havent been insistent or very constant. Henry does understand his body and when he is going to go or has gone potty. Getting him there in time has been our challenge. However we will continue to work on it as he's comfortable and hope he is potty trained sooner rather then later! Henry is enjoying nursery more and more when he isnt causing a little trouble. He loves to sing and is learning the actions to the songs. He is a sweet boy though and I am so grateful to be his mommy. I love you sweet boy!
We drove out to gravelly point but it was SO windy, hence the tears on Henrys cheeks. He could hardly keep his eyes open. This would be so fun with a picnic on a warmer day. We will try again!

Big boy bed adventure

Well...Henry has, or is, I should say, transitioning into a big boy bed. We took one side off his crib and Henry has done very well. He doesnt get out much at all, and always seems to be ready for bed or nap when its that time.... Because Henry's big boy bed is a crib we were unable to find a guard rail for him. We thought we didnt need one but then.....
Poor guy. He is COMPLETELY asleep in this picture. SO! My sweet handy hubby built him a nice little guard rail and Henry has been able to stay put since!
