What we LOVE about you these days!

 

 

Oh Henry, you will be turning 17 months soon and boy are you keeping us moving!

 

It’s crazy! You have come such a long way and it always nice to reflect.

 

Yay! I know I’m excited to look at new pictures too!!

 

First, we love watching you ‘cook’. You have mastered the stirring and are always wanting us to ‘taste test’.

 

You finally gave green beans another try! Turns out you are open to new foods as long as they are put in a bowl!! …at least for now : )

 

You are really good at letting us clip your nails. For whatever reason I think you look absolutely adorable as you sit on your daddy’s lap.

 

 

You have also started to be a little naughty... You know exactly what we don’t want you getting in to!! And when you don’t think you are getting enough attention you go through the house and touch all the “Uh-Ohs”!

 

 

We love your crazy, wispy, won’t stay in place blond hair! I am combing it constantly but definitely not ready to cut anything just yet!

 

We love how you sit and read your books in your favorite chair.

 

We love that you LOVE being outside. We try to go for walks as much as we can when the weather is warm enough and you always get sad when we have to go back inside.

 

And now to end with our absolute favorite thing we love about you these days… the “Henry, go to bed” phenomenon!

About two weeks ago Gabe had put Henry to bed and while he normally falls right asleep it seems for whatever reason that night he was not quite ready to fall asleep. After 15-20 minutes of Henry playing around in his bed Gabe decided to get on our monitor and try simply telling our 16-month-old son to simply “Go to bed!” Crazy as this sounds it worked and continues to work every time!! Here is some video Henry’s (or Gabe’s) newest trick : )

“Henry, go to bed.”

And he didn’t move an inch for the rest of the night. Really hoping that potty training goes that easily!!
