Daddy's New Lens

Thanks to some of his generous benefactors Daddy was able to purchase a new lens for his camera. Which means, Henry had to pose for some pictures. Today was a rather low key shoot, though, as Henry would only pose for shots in between eating a peanut butter sandwich. It's still fun to see how fast he is growing and to watch his big personality coming out of his little body!

Only mildly amused with taking pictures

The best part of a peanut butter sandwich is the sticky jelly leftover on your fingers!

Christmas 2011

Henry got a tiny sock monkey ornament this year...so he found it fitting to wrap it up with his big sock monkey and rock mommy and baby - complete with binki

Henry was SICK for Christmas. He spent Friday night through Sunday night with a fever averaging about 101/102...Poor guy! He was tired and unable to eat much.... 

Making Santa's Cookies

This year Henry gave me an AWESOME frosting and decorating kit, so thats what we used! It was SO much fun!

You will have to excuse my PASTEL colors! I thought I had some  regular colors! OOPS

This present is from us to Henry for Christmas this year. This was actually Josh's baby. He came up with this idea, and mostly put it all together for him.....

Meet Baby and Gus
Henry named baby all by himself, and only slightly needed some help with Gus. He LOVES them!

Henry was blessed with a LOT of really wonderful gifts this year. He is more willing to get into the bathtub with his Buzz lighyear, Woody, and Jessy bubble bath, He plays with his new tractors during whats supposed to be nap time, and he loves setting up his car rug with all his new street signs, and he LOVES his new camera. He has at least 200 blurry pictures on there right now....Here is some pictures of Henry and his new hobby...

Henry and his AWESOME toolbox. He took at least 10 pictures posing his tools. Adding some, taking some out..... He is certainly his daddy's son.

Say CHEESE! 

Henry received all these cool trucks from the family I work for. He LOVES them. Thanks Siobhan and Roy!

LOVING his new street signs and cars

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with family, friends, and loved ones.

Washington DC Temple Light 2011

We were lucky enough to visit the Temple this year to see the Christmas Lights. They were STUNNING, and, as always, the Temple was MAGNIFICENT! It was so cold, but that's half the fun right? It was somewhat of a madhouse, and we didn't stay long, but I'm grateful we made the small trek out that way. ENJOY

 PS - On a Funny 'Henry side note' He has been putting Boots to sleep lately. He covers him up, makes sure he has a book or two, and a binkie.... Then he completes his goodnight routine with boots with a hug and a kiss and sneaks out. SO CUTE!

PPS - Henry woke up the other night at 330am and came into my room upset saying over and over "my pee pee, my pee pee..." I told him it was okay, and led him to his room to change his clothes, however he went straight to the bathroom! He was totally dry!! I am still amazed he didn't have an accident! If he needs to go bad enough in the night it doesnt usually register in time to make it to the potty! GO HENRY!

Henry and Daddy - WHOOSH!

Aunty Natty sent a package our way with this AMAZING race track and some cars. Henry asks to play with it constantly and secretly, I think Josh has just as much fun with it. Thanks for all the fun Aunty Natty! We love you!

Trains at the Botanical Gardens

My friend Lindsay had a really fun idea this week! We met up at the Botanical Gardens for the train exhibit! Henry wasnt quite sure WHAT to do when he saw how cool it was. Enjoy the pictures

Henry and Micah

This was one of my favorite trains because it reminded me of  " A Bugs Life"

Mommy needs a story?

Well... as anyone that has had a toddler knows that showering uninterrupted is an event that is far and few between. As I was in the shower the other day, with the door slightly ajar so that I might hear any booms that might occur, my handsome little boy walked in, poked his head in the shower and asked "Mommy, do you want a story?" Something I do for him while he's in the tub. Of course I couldnt resist seeing what would happen if I took him up on his offer and I told him I would love that. He left, and a minute later returned with two books from his collection in his room. Sat down on the floor and proceeded to read to me in his 2 year old language...He read to me until I was all done in the shower, and I thanked him for his sweet offer to read to me while I was in the shower.
Of course I laugh now when I think of this experience, but I am so grateful my little man is so sweet.

Sidenote: If I am ever getting ready to get in the shower or am already in the shower and have my glasses still on, Henry gently reminds me that I cant get my glasses wet. He proceeds to tell me over and over...and over again until I take them off. Silly boy....

Henry's Christmas Tree

Here's a couple of pictures we took of Henry decorating his Christmas Tree. He's really starting to get into the spirit of the holidays.
