It's hard to believe that our baby Henry is now two years old! We had a fun celebration last night with about 25 friends and neighbors stopping over to wish Henry a happy birthday, including his buddies Justin, Madison and Kelly. At first when people came through the door, Henry would go over, look up, and wave "hi". He gave out a few welcome hugs, too! And when folks left he gave hugs, kisses and high fives. He looked so grown up doing this.
Henry loved playing with his balloons before the party got started. After he played with his cake, (I don't think he actually ate any of it, except for the red Elmo candy on top)he opened his presents and didn't stop playing until nine o'clock. Henry would open a present and play with it for quite some time before moving on to the next gift. We had to draw him away from the toy to open the next one. The toys are SO cool...he got a cake that has lights for candles that can be blown out, a remote control car, a Nascar car the moves after you add (pretend)fuel, an arcade ball game that you can climb into, books, pjs, an etch-a-sketch, tools,... just to name a few.
Henry, you are a sweetie, and we love you VERY much! You continue to warm our hearts. You bring me flowers from our garden. Everyday you pick up the silk poinsettia plants that are under our Christmas tree and bring them to me. I give you a big hug and you always hug back saying "awww". After you use your potty chair, which is about once a day on the average, we walk to get your m and ms. I let you take two out of the bowl and in the past week you now give one to me. In fact, you share all of your food even if no one asks for any.
You like to have your sleeves down, not rolled up, unless you are washing your hands. Your favorite shows are Sesame Street and Dora the Explorer.
You are 35.5 inches tall (75th percentile) and weigh 25 pounds (10th percentile). You love letters and shapes, you love to run in the leaves and listen to them make crunching noises, and you love visiting Dada at work. You play in your room each night before you climb into your bed to fall asleep. You are able to build tall lego towers and when they fall over, you laugh. You continue to take most things in stride with your fantastic sense of humor. Your favorite foods right now are noodles and apples. You mean the world to us, Henry! Happy 2nd Birthday!
