Not long after his first birthday, Henry decided he wanted to be able to keep up with his brothers and decided to start walking. AND climbing. He is a handful to say the least. Between teaching him not to remove every ornament from the trees, that dancing on the table is not safe and keeping bathroom doors shut, I am busy. Fortunately, this go around I have three helpers that will come tell me when we need to fish out the plastic ducks that just got flushed down the toilet. We think he might have a future in mail delivery. His favorite pastime is to transfer items from one place to another. He will open a drawer, stand on his tip toes, reach up and grab whatever he can grab and relocate somewhere else, sometimes never to be found again. The garbage is one of his favorite "mail boxes" and we are pretty sure we have already thrown away at least one of our telephones. He also loves emptying our cupboards one at a time. He can have all my bathroom ones cleaned out in the time it takes me to do my hair.He is starting to chatter all the time. He can say Mom, Dad, Ho Ho Ho, Dog and uh, oh. He is a smiley little soul and is pretty agreeable most of the time. He is an uncontrollable drooler and can soak three bibs and a few shirts in any given day. He is still outweighing and taller than the other boys were at this age. He is wearing a size 6 shoe! He is in most of the clothes that Lukey wore last winter. He loves to sit at the table with his family and eat meals, and does the actions when we sing the popcorn song at dinner.
We are sure glad that we got a Henry!
