I have talked a lot about Vivienne as of late but have given no updates on the dear, small Henry.

Well, Henry is not small, for one. He is a whopping 30lbs. He is wearing 2T clothes and tomorrow will be 15 months old. For those of you who don’t speak “baby age”, that is one year and 3 months.

He is now walking full time, only crawling when he is unable to get on his feet or going up stairs. He waddles and stumbles and flaps his arms to gain his balance and each time I find myself giggling. It s just so fun to watch. We bought him his first pair of ‘real’ shoes and they look huge on him. Poor thing. Hopefully we can get him some sandals that aren’t so bulky.

Yesterday, he picked up a ball and gave it to Friedrich, who was so excited (not), and said “Here you go!”. He likes to bend down to talk to kids taller than him and sometimes me, if I am sitting on the floor. He is in love with his toothbrush and his pacifiers. He likes when he gets on my bed and I push his face causing him to fall backwards. Not sure why, but it is pretty humorous.

He goes to bed without a fight each night and wakes up in the morning happy. When he sees me open the door, he says “HEY!” In fact, he says that to anyone who he sees throughout the day.

Darnit, he is the cutest kid.
