17 months old

On Wednesday Henry turned 17 months old. Wowza! This past month Henry has become a climbing machine. He climbs anything and everything. It can get quite dangerous so of course it gives me anxiety. The biggest change we've had in the last month is that now I'm a full-time stay at home mom...yippee!! This gives me and Henry a lot more time together to have fun and play around. I love getting to spend so much time with this cutie. We've gone to Arizona, hit up a bunch of parks/playgrounds, played with friends, gone to the library, gone to Saint George, etc. It's been fun :)

one of Henry's girlfriends...young love ;)

Henry is the newest sponsor of Muscle Milk

he loves rocks. he found out there's a whole stash of them on the other side of our patio. 

we went to the slot canyons in Saint George last month. we call it the narrows.

we didn't actually end up going all the way through the narrows. but we played all around them. 

walking with daddy. 

we've had more visits from the grandparents!!

we sort of accidentally gave Henry "steps"...you might be able to see in the pic on the right. they're actually pretty cute. 

Henry LOVES to climb this chair and turn the lightswitch on/off over and over

there's a new park in town. Henry already knows his way around. 

he's already becoming a "juicehead"

don't you just want to squeeze him?!

Henry copies us a lot, so he's said a lot of random words I can't even keep track of. One of his new ones this past month was "Grandpa". That was cute. He loves to say belly and look at his belly or other peoples bellies...especially mine (since it's large and in charge now). A couple days ago while at the store he said belly (although it kind of sounded like baby...so who knows...) and then tried to lift up my shirt. Soo....he still has no boundaries ;) haha.

Also, as part of his gymnast adventures, he did this the other night... A couple of disclaimers first: 1) We do not normally encourage dangerous behavior; 2) He doesn't have a shirt on because we took it off before dinner (lasagna). Ok, here goes:



It's been a great month. I'll try and upload the blog more often in the future :)

16 months

On Monday Henry turned 16 months old. As I say every month, I seriously can't believe how much time has gone by. He's so old now! Ahh! Henry has seemed to grow up so much this past month. His cognitive skills and speech have increased so much! He is such a smart kid, he constantly amazes me.

He knows how to say eyes, mouth (it sounds more like "mou"), and nose--and knows where each one is. He can say lots of words, he can't really say sentences except "Hi Kitty!!" which he says every day, gleefully. He loves that cat, it's hilarious.

"ROAR!"

yesterday, i nabbed him with a kiss

his favorite foods are still lasagna and tortellini

we went to the park on Sunday

my favorite boys

happy camper

I love this kid SO MUCH!! He's learned how to give kisses, but you have to ask him and he will only sometimes give them to you. I think half the time he forgets what it means, or he just doesn't want to bother haha. It just makes it that much sweeter when he does kiss you ♥ He's really good about hugging, and also knows to wave and say "hi", "bye", or "nigh' nigh'" correctly. Yup, he's a genious. Cutest kid in the world?! Obviously.
