Some Henry lately...
He wears these fake glasses without lenses all the time.
He has discovered most super heroes also have "other names", and now knows who Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, Peter Parker, Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne and Ben Grimm are. He gets mad when he's given conflicting information from Mommy and Daddy. (How was I supposed to know Wolverines name isn't really Logan but is actually James Howlett???)
He thinks Uncle Michael lives in the elevator at work. (That's what happens when you creep elevators, Uncle Michael!)
He has scary sharp little vampire teeth.
He is starting to put super heroes into their groups! (Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America and Thor are the Avengers, Batman works with his sidekick Robin, The Thing and Human Torch are part of the Fantastic Four...) Nerd!
He can count up to 14 now, without any mistakes. He knows some of the numbers after that, but doesn't get them in order.
He thinks Will Arnett on Arrested Development is very entertaining for some reason. Henry hawk-eyes him when he's on the screen. I guess he is a pretty weird looking guy?
He has started making different scenarios when he's driving his car, like "Goin' to see Santa cause he's nice!" or "Goin' to Wal-Mart to get STICKERS!"
He likes to tell Wes that he's his best friend. So cute.
He's getting better at relaying what he did in school that day, like "Henry painted!", "Miss Linda told a story!", or sometimes "NOTHING, Mommy."
He's always trying to talk (force) my Grandma into making him pancakes, regardless of the time of day. "Pancake! Get the griddle HOT! Make it! PUT BUTTER ON IT!!!" (In his defense, she does make some slamming good pancakes.)
He's learning a ton of songs, and he's hilarious to watch sing and dance, which he does with extreme gusto.
His hair is getting so long, but (aside from his bangs) I can't make myself cut it yet.
He still loves puzzles. They were getting a little too easy but I didn't think he was quite ready for bigger puzzles yet, so we decided to make them a little more challenging by mixing a couple of puzzles together. Still fairly easy to sort, like animals with cars or people with airplanes, but it holds his attention longer. Plus, it's fun to watch him check out each piece since it might not go with the puzzle he's doing. "Nope, not this. Nope, not this. THIS ONE, MOMMY!"
This kid is so tall. He's going to outgrow his petite daddy.
He always has to inspect fruit for the sticker.
He's such a good sport about almost everything, and he loves loves loves to "help".
He knows how to turn his tiny DVD player on and start the movie, which is great when you're lying on the floor unable to move.
He's really, really into giving Jen's boyfriend a complex, calling him "Old Ritz" all the time.
He's such a joy to be around, such a bright happy kid.
I sure do love you, Henry Bean!
