mr. personality

Henry turned 17 months on the 11th. Almost a year and a half?! It can’t be true. I feel like every mom says this about their kid but I cannot get over how fast time goes. Despite my slight sadness in my always growing baby we are absolutely loving seeing him progress and watching his personality develop more and more. He is such a character, we are honestly laughing at him all day long. and even though he’s getting older and bigger he still is the best at giving hugs, we’re talking tight tight squeezes here. He loves to cuddle (sometimes) and I still choose to rock him to sleep for naptime. I think I might hold on to that as long as I can.

He’s pretty independent in a lot of ways, particularly when it comes to eating. He insists on feeding himself and has been for months now. He is a really good eater for the most part but I sometimes have to get creative to get him to eat his veggies.

You would think that his independence with eating would make him independent in other major skills, say walking. But no such luck. He is this close to walking, but we’ve been saying that for weeks and weeks now. He just doesn’t seem to care about walking, he loves to walk when he’s holding someone’s hand, and moves pretty fast. But he is so speedy at crawling that he’s sticking to that. We have managed to get a few steps out of him in the past few weeks, usually tempting him with treats. his record is 5 in a row but then he realizes he’s walking with no help and gets mad. So now we’re kind of just letting him decide when he wants to do it.

This boy loves the water.

This past weekend my family was in town. He is so loved by all of his uncles and aunts on both sides. He played with Toby (he loves dogs), DSC_0033DSC_0034

shared a bowl of Captain Crunch with Grandpa,

Yesterday Henry and I had a play date with Brittney, Liam and Charlotte at Farm Country. Henry loved seeing the animals, riding in the wagon and playing on the grass. He definitely did not love riding the pony. When I tried to set him down he got super stiff and grabbed onto me as hard as he could. We decided to just watch instead.

We are a little obsessed with our sweet baby boy, we can’t get enough of him. Hopefully my next post will be of a few projects I’ve been working on and am desperate to finally finish.
