still around...

I really am trying to post more but the days just fly by and I rarely stay up much later than Henry. So, that means almost no time to post a blog entry. I have been posting pictures to Henry's website so check that out---Henry's website.

Henry and I have been getting all our holiday shopping done and he has been a trooper. It has gotten a little bit harder to shop with Henry because he wants to walk around on his own. Also, he has been running which makes things exciting when I have my purse on my shoulder and things in my hands. Most people don't really think Henry is too cute when they are trying to shop and he is running in front of them and I am chasing him. Henry's vocabulary is just amazing. He is starting to talk in fragmented sentences. Today he said "Mommy car fast whee" Opps.maybe I should slow down when I drive (hee hee). He also keeps telling me there is an owl in the house. I'm not sure what that is all about but he seems to see it and he hoots at it.

Holidays with a toddler

Henry is really enjoying the holidays thus far. He liked getting his picture taken with Santa although I had to sit with Henry on my lap. He really liked Santa when Santa gave him this light- up plastic toy which I would NEVER buy for him. It stays in the car and only comes out if Henry is getting fussy. Henry is also enjoying the Christmas tree. He is really enjoying pulling the ornaments off and shaking the branches. David may come home one day to find the Christmas tree in the front yard. I've moved most ornaments up out of his reach but he always seems to find one I missed. He knows he isn't suppose to do it b/c he runs to the tree and rips them off every time I turn my head. Little booger!!! If things couldn't get more exciting, it is snowing today. There is already an inch and we should get another by the end of the night. Henry and I went out in it around 11am and I pulled him around in his sled until my hands were in pain. I am also proud to say that Henry loves holiday music. We pretty much listen to it all day and there are a few songs that get him dancing. We will keep the gifts low key in order not to get Henry too worked up but I am afraid all the other stuff like the music and holiday events is just something I love too much. This weekend I have a huge list of events which include Christmas trains, Santa, and a tree lighting at the Ellipse. FUN!!!!
