Just look at this little boy now! Henry, we can't believe you are already a year and a half. You are fun to be with and so very funny too. You've just discovered that Walter's tender hair caresses can quickly turn into not-so-fun hair pulling. But you still bring him new toys to play with regardless. You make me laugh when you point to the garbage can or the diaper pail and say "dirrr-ty" with a scowl on your face and your finger pointed for added effect. Your Daddy just taught you to say "booger" as you've had too many of those recently from your cold. I'm wondering how long it will be til we regret that! You've become very snuggly and kissy lately ... and mainly just towards me, which I am loving. You look too, too adorable in your new striped jammies. But you really need a haircut. You don't believe in chewing or biting pieces of your food sometimes ... banana especially is apparently meant to be shoved in your mouth in large quantities. You already have quite a few cuts and bruises on your forehead from recent falls. You always clap enthusiastically after your Daddy and I sing our family song at bedtime. You are easily distracted from anything if I just say "Where's your ball?". You are obsessed with balls. And cars. And belly buttons. You love your brother and your Mumma and Dadda very much ... and Henry, do we ever love you.
