2009 Fun!

YES- we have been terrible bloggers lately!!! so sorry! time has been passing quickly and i don't know what we have been doing except having so much fun!! henry is an absolute blast right now and Lucy just tells the greatest stories & of course loves on him so much.

henry latest favorite things...and yes they are quite weird but he is obsessed with the following:

1. the swifter (see below)...he ask for it at least 5 times a day and it is actually great because he helps keeps the floors semi clean :).
2. chic-fil-a nuggets...the other night i hit the drive thru since brett had a meeting- i was lazy and didn't want to cook. i got him a SIX pack kids meal and me a sandwich. well, he downed the 6 nuggets in about 5 minutes and was begging for more! so i gave him about a fourth of my sandwich and he still wanted more! i can tell that the weekly visits to chic-fil-a while i was pregnant definitely went straight to his taste buds.

3. curious george.....he loves the show and especially loves it because in most episodes the dog hundley is a character (see favorite #4). henry has been taken down by a bad case of eczema within the past two weeks. we have been having to put some cream on him three times a day and the only way to keep the child still is to plop him our lap directly in front of the tv with curious george on. we can ask him if he wants to go watch george and he runs to the tv & then i'll turn the show on and when the music starts he begins to dance. it is too cute. but of course as soon as i finish with the cream and tell him he is all done he is off and could care less about the tv!
4. dogs.....but that is dogs only far away and not in close touching distance. we will be riding in the car and every time he sees a dog he says "doh di". But- if we are around a dog in person he has a slight freeeaaakkkk out! we are slowly working on this problem.....hopefully it will get better & he won't be the kids who is scared of dogs.
5. outside.....just ask the question- "do you want to go outside?" and he is off! he loves being outside and the swing or his radio flyer wagon are is favorite spots. the other day i was swinging him and i got him down and i told him we had to go inside. instead- he walks around the house to the carport and goes to the back and tries to get into his wagon.....so yes- we went for a walk in the wagon. i think we will be spending most of our summer outside!

6. milk.....thank goodness he has started to love his milk out of his sippy cup. the bottles & formula are all gone. in a way it was sad to give it up because i feel like that was the last part of being a "baby" that was left of him. he is growing so fast and just changing too quick.
Here are lots of photos of what we have been up to in the past two months. we have had lots of park play dates- especially our fun valentine photo shoot with lucy. enjoy the pics below and i hope to be a better blogger!!!

















at school they tell me he likes to go down head first on the slide!

who would think that a big pile of sofa cushions and blankets would be so much fun???

my favorite look.....i didn't do anything wrong????
