Henry's First Birthday

Amid trips to St. George...


playing ball in the park...


and visits from Grandma...


...This little guy turned one year old!



He celebrated with a ball birthday party (no pictures yet) with some of his closest friends and family. He had to fight off big sister to open his presents and then later to play with his toys.



But he did get to play with some of his toys at the end of the day. Some of his favorite toys? A powerwheels Buzz Lightyears ATV, an awesome slide, a car course that Henry loves sitting in, and BALLS! He's loving being 1.



The doctor gave Henry a thumbs up at his check up. He's 24lb 3oz (87%), 31in (88%), and a 48cm head (92%). ROAR! He's 12 months!



Henry has always been such an easy going baby. Now though, he's gotten a bit of spunk in him. He throws fits like you've never seen!


Above, it seems he just didn't want his picture being taken on the floor. He calmed down when placed in a chair. Below, he saw a display of balls at the grocery store and sobbed pointing at them and yelling 'NI' until we were several aisles away.



Also, sometimes you just don't want to have a nap with your pants on! Checking on him during naptime, Henry had ripped off his pants and thrown them out of his crib. See you later, pants!

He's finally grown more teeth! His two bottom teeth have been augmented by three more teeth on top. He isn't walking yet, but he is standing on his own and taking a few tentative steps. Any day now!

Henry's verbal skills are getting better and better. He's repeating as many of Olivia's words as he can. His favorites are dog and dada! He points at most people and call them dada, including a picture of Jesus he saw at church...


Happy birthday, little buddy. We couldn't be happier about having you in our family and we love you so much!
