Wearing Daddy's shirt

His putting skills are really coming along ;)

Scoping out the range.

 

Checking out the ducks

Henry came to see Mommy after her race... in his jammies :)

I LOVE this little man. He makes me smile, he makes me laugh, he makes me feel warm and cozy. He is a total boys BOY, but has a sweet spirit. He has started to learn his colors and numbers (he has counted to 5 once). He has started to sing along to songs on the radio (we have to really pay attention to what we are listening to). He can communicate all of his basic needs and much much more. SO much fun to watch him grow up. I feel so lucky that he's my boy.

Best Buds

Ellie LOVES to give Henry hugs. Henry likes the first few, but then he tries to get away

Bill with sweet little Freddy

They jumped up and down forever

Henry and Ellie have become such good friends. If you tell them they are going to see each other, you better make it happen, because they won't stop talking about it. It's so fun having a playamte in the family.

Biopsy :(

 

Henry had to have a simple scalp biopsy recently. It was really scary for us (he had to be put under), but he didn't seem to mind. He had toys to play with, he got to watch TV, and he had his "mi-mi" out of bed. He woke up a little surly, but all in all, everything went great.

Family BBQ

Hanging out with "Baby Theo"

Helping Poppy fix the bench...

with my tools

Helping Uncle Ryan... NAKED

We had a nice BBQ with the Hayes clan. Henry got to see his cousins and I got to snuggle Theo and Grayson. Love the babes!

Rain boots on a sunny day

Checking out the elephants

So handsome

Showing off his muscles

Wearing his helmet inside... silly boy

Riding with best bud Ellie

This month Henry has continued to expand his vocabulary and has started to use a few small 2-3 word sentences. It is so fun to watch him learn and grow. He says or understands something new in an instant. He is loud, strong, caring, funny, and independent. He is becoming much more insistant that he have choices. He likes to wear rain boots in the sunshine, and his helmet in the house... and  the grocery store... and the front yard. He loves to help mom sweep, or vaccum, or help daddy mow the lawn. He already looks like a big boy, so now he wants to be one. We cherish all the moments we have with our special bug. He continues to amaze us everyday.

18 Months

Practicing my golf swing before bed

"Cheese" (the only time he's ever smiled for the camera)

Every month I'm more amazed. This month was a particularly fun one. Henry has really started to communicate. He's up to about 75 words that he uses appropriately (most of the time). He's starting to run (walk really fast). We got him his own real putter, so he's starting to prefect his golf swing. He gives the best hugs, kisses, and snuggles (when he wants to). He brings sunshine and joy to my life everyday, regardless of my mood. This is one special guy!

Happy 4th of July

This is pic of all the little kids, right before my "Brut" of a son
used Cam for leverage to get up and knocked him right over :(

We had a great time with friends on the 4th. A lot of food, a lot of play, a lot of fun.
