Henry holds a baby

At playgroup yesterday one of the playgroup moms brought her 8-week old baby and her toddler to playgroup. While I was holding the baby Henry stood right next to my chair and stared at me. I asked him if he liked the baby and liked mommy holding the baby and he said "yes". Then for nearly five minutes he kept mumbling "Henry hold baby too". I kept telling him the baby was sleeping and to be quiet. Every time the baby would twitch Henry would start up again with "Henry hold baby. Henry hold baby too". The mom of the 8-week old heard him and said it would be fine. So, we washed Henry's hands and sat him in a small chair. He was so good with the baby. He was very serious and didn't move. After a few minutes the mom smelled a yucky diaper and told Henry that she needed to change the baby's diaper. Henry kept a tight little grip on the baby and started up with "No, Henry hold baby". We finally got the baby away but Henry threw a fit and we had to leave play group. He calmed down once we left the house b/c we saw a cat outside and then he wanted to pet the cat. It was really sweet to see Henry with a baby... here's a couple pictures...

Long Time

Last week Henry started using the term "long time" as in "I haven't had ice cream in a long time" or in Henry's case, "He hasn't seen a tow truck in a long time". I think it is so funny b/c of the way he says it so I recorded him looking at one of his truck books and saying "long time" after almost every truck.

Video

I created an account on You Tube in order to share videos. It seems like the best way to get videos uploaded and not worrying about the size limit.

Blog on hold but check out Henry's website

I have decided to only update Henry's website and to put the blog on hold. When Henry turns two I will probably elimate the website and then come back to updating the blog. The cool thing about the website is I can buy a disk and have all the information saved to disk and save it in a memory book I have for Henry.

Thanks for stopping by the blog and keep checking the website for new journal entries and pictures.

It's Spring...

well, it felt like spring today and tomorrow is going to be a repeat of today. It hit 70 degrees. As soon as Henry and I ate our breakfast I had us out of the house. First we walked to the dry cleaners to drop some of David's stuff off (my motivation in walking was to walk off all the Christmas cookies I ate over the holidays). On the way back we went by one of the parks and there were so many folks out. It was great seeing all the kids, moms and nannies. It had probably been since the first week of November that we had seen some of them. Henry and I had a blast at the park. We ran around, swung on the swings and then got completely dirty in the sandbox. Henry took a 3 1/2 hour nap after all the excitement. Tomorrow we have playgroup at our house. I am interested to see how Henry will react to others playing with his new train set he got for Christmas. He has always been a perfect little host for the playgroups but he is a bit sensitive when it comes to his trains.

Happy Holidays
