Henry - Monster Man!

Look at Henry, our adorable monster man! He's such a wild a crazy boy and we love this guy.

He finds himself in all sorts of trouble, whether it be some new wonder he's found to shove in his mouth (pictured here with a spool of thread in his mouth) or some new obstacle he's climbed up. (He got on to that chair via the automan all by himself.)

He just plays as hard and as fast as he can until he passes out with exhaustion. One afternoon he had skipped his nap and had gotten so tired that he just crawled onto his mom's lap and fell fast asleep. Ridiculous!

Henry has fallen in love with eating. He's pleased with anything that he can hold himself, especially things he can slurp up and/or hold himself! He's definitely got a healthy appetite.

Snowshoeing with the family! Quite picturesque, no?

Henry still loves being around his sister, but they find themselves fighting over things quite often. She usually knows just how to push his buttons.

Henry's verbal skills have really exploded this past month. He doesn't babble like Olivia did, he usually only speaks deliberately when he wants to communicate something. He's got 'Mama', 'Dada', 'Numnums',  'drink', and 'dog' down. Surprisingly, he doesn't say Olivia's name. Perhaps because it's kind of long and difficult and when she says it these days is sounds something like, "Lalivlilah."

Our sweet little boy. Though he's been a bit of a handful this past month, being sick almost continually, we still love being around him. He's 100% boy with his head-butting, growling, climbing, and throwing things. Olivia and Cassandra tried to teach him how to hug stuffed animals like girls do. He picked up his giraffe and hugged it close. Then he looked at it and threw it as far as he could. Classic, Henny.
