I can not believe that my precious baby is now a one-year-old!! This past year has been the absolute best year of our lives! Michael and I have had more fun watching our sweet baby boy grow and learn! We were talking earlier and decided that we can't believe Henry's already a year old because the time has flown by but also don't remember life without him. He's such a fun little guy and he makes me smile every time I think about him! I never thought I could love someone so very much. We are so thankful every day that we were chosen to be Henry's momma and daddy. God is so good!
Henry (12/12/08) 5 pounds 4 ounces, 18 inches long...so much love, laughter, growing and learning this year!!
Our sweet one year old is now babbling/talking up a storm! His "recognizable" words are Momma, Dada, thank you, uh-oh and bwuddabwuddabwudda (brother brother brother)! He (finally) loves table food and so far has eaten anything I've put in front of him. He loves fruit, cheese, avocados, potatoes, carrots, green beans, cheerios and graham crackers. Henry isn't walking, yet...but he cruises all around the furniture and can play a mean game of peepie! He loves to be tickled and snuggled and still loves Weez (his blue bunny) the most in the world! Happy Birthday, Sweet Henry!! We love you!
We are very excited to announce that Henry is going to be a BIG brother! We feel extremely blessed and a little caught off guard, that's for sure! This sweet little baby is a boy and we could not be more excited! He's due mid April so these little boys will be sixteen months apart! We are taking name suggestions since we don't have a clue what to call this little guy! Obviously, Henry has no idea what is about to happen to his world and quite frankly Michael and I don't either! We are just thanking God for this wonderful gift and holding on tight for the ride! Henry has been more fun and filled us with more love than we ever thought possible! I can't even imagine how wonderful our lives will be with another baby boy!
While we all had a fun time and Henry was a sweet little guy...he turned into a bit of a turkey regarding his nap/bedtime schedule due to the traveling...oh well, I guess that's the beauty of traveling with a baby...here we come Christmas!! :)
