Right on Track

  Henry has started to really enjoy art/craft time.  Mommy loves crafts too, especially with this little bugger. 

This expression cracks me up!

Mommy's little helper decided the bath tissue MUST come out of the big bag into its smaller bags and then thrown about throughout the house.

Where did Henry go!?!

Henry trying to help me go through the mail and mark up my work papers.  He was quite proud of himself.

Determined to get every last drop! Daddy was generous to share his chocolate pudding with Little Man.

Henry loves brooms, shovels, hoes, vacuums, bags on rollers...basically anything that he can push around.  Sophie thinks he is crazy.

Smiles for Mama.

I can't believe Henry's big enough to ride a bike (even if it is pedal-less).

Henry is beginning to put short phrases together, such as "Baby walk," "NO Mommy!," and "night night Dada."  Henry acquires more and more words everyday.  He is also continuing to learn more of his alphabet and colors.  He still loves to read, mostly about diggers, dinosaurs, dogs and trains.  These are also the common theme for his favorite toys, in particular his Hot Wheels and diggers.

He is still a diverse eater, but at any given meal he is quite particular.  Among his favorite foods these days are clementines, salmon fish sticks (homemade), celery dipped in hot sauce (Korean style), blackberries, rice crackers with hummus, strawberries, yogurt, Trix, fruit leather, toast, waffles, pinto beans, seaweed soup, and rice with sesame seeds.

He remains a good sleeper, usually a 2-2.5 hour nap in the afternoon and 10-12 hours at night.  However, he has begun to protest a bit before nap or bedtime.  No full blown tantrums, but vocal opposition.  I'll be curious how the transition to the toddler bed will go.

Henry visited Dr. E earlier this week and Dr. E was quite pleased with Henry's development.  He ended our appointment by saying "Henry is right on track.  See you in a year."  We are sooooooooo soooooooo blessed to have a happy, healthy son.  I couldn't be happier.
