Henry - 1.5

Henry is 18 months today!  He is getting to be such a big boy!  Here is whats going on in the life of Henry 1.5:

He loves all things books, balls, blocks and Bea.  He is a pretty good eater, but prefers fruit above anything else.  Henry loves to help with the laundry and gets mad when the dryer is empty.  He is super silly and knows it.  Henry has some pretty sweet dance moves.  He requests "ABCs" and songs from our baby yoga class constantly. When I sing the ABCs, he chimes in proudly at "C."  Bath time is one of his favorite times of day because he can play with bubbles.  Henry loves exploring outside and walking up and down our neighbors' driveways.  He can make animal noises and point to his nose, mouth, tummy, eyes, hair and toes. Henry really enjoys school and has a special place in his heart for Ms. Tomberlin.  He has very little patience and can make a pretty impressive pouty face.  He enjoys anything with buttons and makes lots of phone calls.  A current favorite activity is to pick up as much stuff at once -- puzzle pieces, books, balls, you name it.  He loves his Mommy, Dada and Bea more than anything.

And so I can remember, here is a list of some of his first words:

Bea
book
ball
bubbles (notice a theme?)
blocks
baby
Blue Bear (his lovey)
truck
nose
banana (pronounced no-nee and currently my favorite of his words)
Mommy
Dada
good girl (for when Bea does her business outside)
quack quack
roar
woof woof
peep peep (however, no noise comes out)
caw caw
baa baa
glub glub (fish noises)
Thank you (but not always used in the right context)
more (again, not always used in the right context.  I think he confuses it with "milk")
shoes
socks
bye-bye
cracker
that (as he points to EVERYTHING)

So HAPPY 1.5 BIRTHDAY to our little Henry.  Its been the best 1.5 years of my life too!
