We celebrated David's b-day last Monday. Henry got David some slipper's that are similar to his slippers...I mean "dancing shoes". Henry will only put on his slippers if you call them dancing shoes. He also will dance and has 4 original moves--"the daddy dance", "the spin", "the turn" and the "low daddy dance". He also has "intense" which isn't really a dance move but this thing he has done since he was about 4 or 5 months old. He clenches his hands in a fist and strains his neck and teeth and then his head starts to shake. I really don't know how to describe it but it is hysterical ...and a bit disturbing. We call out "intense" during his dance routine so it is sort of one of his dance moves.
Last week Henry got all dressed up to go to a neighbor's baptism. As you can see from the photo's, he really enjoyed his tie and sports coat. The picture with Henry walking around with a cell phone planted to his ear was not staged. He does this all the time.

Happy Hallo
Henry really enjoyed the Halloween season. I didn't get him to say Happy Halloween but did manage to get to 'Happy Hallo'. He had already mastered 'happy' earlier in the month when I had him tell me Happy Birthday. Over the weekend we met up with my cousin Scott and his family. They were visiting DC from Pittsburgh. Henry loved all the attention. Scott and Teri's boys, Lane (11) and Kyle (9), kept him laughing and entertained. After going to the National Zoo with them, Henry and I met up with his Dad and went to a neighborhood Halloween party and parade. I thought Henry would get a kick out of all the kids dressed up but it didn't phase him. Maybe with all the animal costumes he just thought we were at yet another zoo. ( :
On Monday night we met up with my cousin and family for dinner in downtown DC at the ESPN Zone. We don't eat out with Henry very often because he is so squirmy but I have to say it wasn't all that bad. He was squirmy but he managed to eat quite a bit. The extra folks around to enetertain him really helped though. After dinner we walked around the game and arcade area. Henry loved this place. He sat on every ride--and that is a lot--this place is big! We drug Henry out kicking and screaming (seriuosly, it was UGLY!) around 9:30pm. He was NOT ready for the fun to end. The next morning we had Henry's playgroup and some neighborhood mom's and toddlers over for a Halloween Party. Henry just loves having kids over and the more the merrier. He plops in any free adults lap with a book and runs around with a grin plastered on his face.
On Halloween day I gave Henry a choice of costumes, skeleton or dinosaur. No suprise, he picked dinosaur which he has really loved. I actually had bought him a turtle costume to wear but Henry's Aunt Mernie sent him the dinosaur and his Aunt Catherine sent him a skeleton costume that were both so cute and would NOT fit next year. So, everyone will have to wait till next year to see the turtle costume. Henry got into the trick or treating. During the day, I told him all about the process and we practiced. I would have Henry knock on the door and I would try to get him to say Trick or Treat but he would just laugh at me. When we went out Trick or Treating Henry did great and wasn't scared when going to the houses. Actually he was a little too comfortable. After gettiong the candy for his bag he would walk right in people's houses. It was pretty funny. As you can tell from the halloween pictures below, Henry took a break and played on his slide and car which are in the backyard. It was so dark you could barely see but he loved it. We let him have a couple bites of chocolate (a kit kat and a peanut butter cup). He really liked them but didn't ask for more so I can say he didn't love it.
