18 months

So, this boy just cracks me up more and more everyday! Apparently when I was at work this past weekend, Phil taught Henry how to do sit-ups and push-ups. It's hilarious, he really gets into it, grunting and everything :)

Push-ups

Sit-ups (or something like it)

Today, Henry had his 18 months doctors appointment. Here are his stats.....
Height: 33 1/2 in
Weight: 24 lbs
Head Size: 18 1/2 in
Dr. Sakkal said he was around the 90th %ile for height and 50th %ile for weight.

Oh Henry, can you even believe you're already 18 months old? I know I can't! Here's a little bit of what you're up to these days.....
You're charged up and ready to go in the morning, after sleeping 12 hours, usually from about 6:30pm to 6:30am. You still can't give up your morning nap most days, though some days you can get by on one nap. Your favorite foods are any/every kind of fruit, turkey and ham, cheese, baked beans, cheesy crackers, pretzels, and milk (and lots of it, please). Mama drags you along to run errands and you're quite a good sport about it, helping me find things and waving to everybody at the store; you're so kind to people and I appreciate that very much. You love running and climbing.....on everything!
You love reading books. You must have gone through 50 of them here, all by yourself :)
Along with books, you've been quite the fan of toy catalogs lately, with it being Christmas time and all - you love to find all the Elmo's and guitars in the catalogs. Your favorite character right now is Elmo, not really sure how this started but you LOVE Elmo and you don't even really know yet that Elmo exists on television too. You're so helpful around the house, you love helping me vacuum, fold the laundry, and put the groceries away. You love playing with trucks, reading about trucks, and watching the trucks go by. You will sit and color for a short period of time now! I can understand many of your words including mama, dada, help, up, milk, puppy, right there, cheese, please, more, car, bus, tractor, and I'm sure there are others I'm missing. There's never a dull moment around here with you, you love to keep busy :)
I love you so much, wild man!

  1. And what's not to love when you have a darling little Love Lump like that? Henry, you are so adorable, and getting to be such a big boy now that you are 18 months old. I love you so much! Oma
    PS Mama, don't forget one of his favorite
    sayings, "all done, all done"
    (he especially loves to use that when we are
    working on an art project) :)
