Henry turns 1!!

My sweet boy turned 1 yesterday! Wow, this year has flown by and taken forever all at the same time! Henry is such a funny, playful, mischevious little guy...and we all adore him. He's very close to walking, loves to push anything he can get his hands on (chairs, toys, Andrew's cooler...whatever). He also loves to climb, bang, throw, hit...He is ALL BOY!!! He has 4 teeth and two more about to break through. He is 24 1/2 lbs and 31 inches long. (Which is 70th percentile for weight, 95th percentile for height!) His feet are so chubby I can't get anything on his them except crocs!!


We went up to my parents house this past Saturday to have a small, family party for him.

He wasn't quite sure about the cupcake. Smashed it several times and tried to get everybody with his icing hands...had lots of helpers too.


After Henry ate his cupcake, the older kids got to decorate a couple for themselves.

Opening presents it always a bit slow with a 1 year old...but greatly sped up with the help of a sister and cousins! Henry loves to bang or hit anything...so we got him some tools. Not sure if that was a good idea or not; I've already taken a couple whacks in the head with the hammer!!

Puzzles...


And a monster truck from the Clarkes! He already loves anything with wheels and "vrooms" it all over the floor...

Me, Britt and the birthday boy.

Me and my happy, little man!

My friend Gray sent him this awesome walking toy...he loved it! Walked back and forth down the hall until we all got tired of turning him back around! If only he could steer!

Later on, we had a mini-talent show....Lily never passes up the chance to perform!

Kaylin got in on the action too!

What a fun day! So happy to celebrate Henry's birthday with some of my favorite people!
