Henry

I keep forgetting to note the daily things that are happening especially with Henry.  He has hit so many milestones and is really at one of my favorite younger ages.  His word development is awesome and he babbles continuously.  When he is mad he sticks out that lip and then will just talk away talking very stern gibberish but at the same time you can reason him through some of his little fits which is nice.

His most used words are wavi (lovie), ouside, sissie (sister), caker (cracker) however he tends to say everything twice or as many times as it takes for you to acknowledge.  If he doesn't know the word he gets his point across like dragging his highchair into the kitchen when he is hungry.  His favorite activities including opening a door, closing the door and then getting stuck in a room, going outside, going up and down stairs and his scuttle bike which he can maneuver at quite high speeds.  Lately his need to be outside is overwhelming.  He goes to the closet, while screaming 'ouside', gets his coat, still screaming, goes to the door and then continues to howl 'ouside'.  I now leave the sliding glass door to the deck open so he can freely roam out there.  It does mean that we turn off the heat and all have to wear coats but there is no screaming.

He is enthralled with animals, water, swimming and sticking his hands into dirt.  So very different from his sister.


I had a doctors appointment today and brought him with me.  He was a blast in the waiting room, entertaining all that were there but the minute we entered into the patient room he LOST it and was literally trying to get in and under my shirt.  Couldn't quite figure it out but then remembered Christmas time and his ER visits (plural).  I guess he has a good memory.  It was great though cause he is old enough that I can now talk him through it and he calmed.  When the doctor came in he just pointed at me each time she came close and he was fine and just gave her big eyes the rest of the time
