What I love about you.....

Henry as you are nearing your second birthday I am in such disbelief at how fast the days have passed. You have become a little boy who loves trains, cars, dogs, elephants, your papa, and hanging out with mommy and daddy. It seems everyday you are amazing us with you new tricks (like opening the fridge), scaring us with your climbing, and keeping us on our toes chasing you. You have become such a lovely, strong willed, bright, silly little boy who just lights up our life. Often I peek in on you while you're sleeping  just to take in your beautiful little boyish body. I have grown to miss you baby face, rolling thighs, toothy little grin, and rocking you to sleep. We love you so much and look forward to you turning TWO! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful little boy! Here are a few photos of your 2010 year that capture exactly what we love about you....

You learning to Navigate the parks! Feb 2010



Our weekly picnic at Lake Calhoun. We always got an ice cream cone before leaving for home. 



Your first time driving the boat at the cabin. 


Finding one of cousin Eli's motorcycles and loving how much fun it was to play with! 


Fireworks! You loved them... we were afraid that waking you up from your slumber,
 you may get scared. No way not you! 


Watching cousin Tony race his car at Elko Speedway


Your love for you big boy bed. 
You started sleeping much better once you transitioned into it at 15 months. 


Sprinkler season..... water on your tummy :) 


being outdoors driving your car. 
On many occasions we brought the car inside the house just so we could go indoors. 


Awakening the Dragon! 


You and uncle Huy at the Dragon Festival. You were very attached to your toothbrush. 


The giant slide at the state fair. I was a little nervous that you would get scared. 
That was not the case. In fact when it was done you cried and screamed that we didn't go again. 


pumpkin patch 2010


Henry and cousin Ellie picking out pumpkins. You enjoyed sitting/climbing on the large ones. 


You wanted this one.... mommy said it's too heavy! 


Trying out big boy underwear 


Your own bowl of Asian noodles..... heaven in a bowl! 


2010 brought you opening closets and finding Christmas presents. 
This one (lightening McQueen garage) you kept bringing out until you opened it. 


Helping Neighbor lindsey shovel.... well really you were  brushing snow back on the sidewalk. Life lesson: Always help your neighbors! 


Not so sure about this snow stuff


Help me! 


practicing putting daddy's hat on. 


Being a sweet little boy


What you want me to smile?! 


This is how you looked after consuming too many oreo cookies and apple juice on New Year's Eve! 




Happy New Year! 


Those are just a glimpse of some of the things I love about you....

May day! May Day!



Henry got a May Day basket from the local Jaycee club! He carried it around most of the day. It came filled with lots of peanut  butter candy that he can't have, so daddy ate most of it. Henry did get to enjoy a hershey kiss.

                                                         Pizza is my favorite right now



                                                            Being silly for the camera

                                                      Getting in and out of the wagon

We played outside for a while and saw bunnies in the yard! He started talking to them as if they were his friends. It's time for a bath after a long day of playing.
