Recent Happenings

Instead of trying to sit here and write several blogs, I thought I would catch up in one. We've had so much going on, I can't remember everything and have done a bad job of catching it all on camera.

Henry had his three year appointment and did AWESOME. He ran right back in the room, got his finger pricked without even a whimper, and even peed in a cup (I know TMI). He is 36 1/2 lbs. and 40 inches tall. I think his weight is in the 50-75% and his height is in the 90%. I couldn't have asked for a better check-up.

Before the weather change we had to be creative with our days spent inside. Henry built his first blanket and pillow fort, and one day we went out in the rain and jumped in all of the puddles.

Henry had his first bowling experience for his cousin Nolan's 8th birthday. I've never seen a ball roll so slowly down a lane (sometimes it would just stop in the middle), but he had a blast. Of course he had to try and pick up the heaviest ball, and did not want anyone to help him. Can we say stubborn?

Jeff and I went on our first overnight date to Columbia. Jeff had to work so I spent the day shopping (Target and Panera for lunch= a great day!)We had a nice dinner that night with some fun live music. I picked the boys up the next morning after spending a little quiet time in Starbucks. It was wonderful, and I think they both missed me when I came home!

Henry had a St. Patty's party at school complete with everything green. The moms really go all out with the food, games, and favors. The kids made a leprechaun hat and it was really cute. Too bad my camera battery died when I got there. I was able to get a couple of shots, though.

We have a busy spring ahead complete with lots of trips and Clay's baptism! Hopefully I'll be able to keep up!

In no particular order...

This is what Clay did while we jumped in puddles

Everybody needs a good pair of rainboots

Serious jumping going on here

Chillin in our fort

A great place to color and read books

Quick! This doesn't happen a lot!

Henry had to try out the bumbo after watching Clay

Clay fits a little better

Smiling and blowing bubbles

This ball is not too heavy mom...

No, I won't smash my fingers...(which happened several times!)

I told you I could do it by myself!

Always the first one done with his snacks


Sweet little class

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
