Long time, no post! After Henry is in bed, I am one tired pregnant lady at night (and there have been some really good season finales on TV!).Have I mentioned Henry is obsessed with lawn mowers? Here he is gazing out the window at his dad mowing the front lawn- we have a pretty decent size front lawn and Henry was perched there the entire time!
Other Henry obsessions:
-He continues to pine over construction equipment. I never would have predicted that I would know the names of things like auger, backhoe, etc. much less my one-year-old. This boy can spot them a mile a way when driving in the car and is sure to announce when he does spy one! I am a terrible mother and put away (aka hid on a very high shelf that he can't get at) his construction books that he insisted on reading a bagillion times a day (we do have some new ones from the library to peruse so I'm not that terrible)!
-Speaking of books- Henry insists on reading only nonfiction books. He loves his encyclopedias, baby's first words books, etc. I love that he loves nonfiction, but a nice little story every once in a while would be okay too!
-Okay time to brag . . . as long as we are on the book and construction equipment topic . . . the other day (prior to putting away his construction books), Henry was reading a new book from the library that had a backhoe in it. He got up and got one of his construction books and found the page with a backhoe on it. He recognized that each book had the same thing in it!! In my teacher world we call that a text-to-text connection!!!!!!!! Proud mama moment! :)
-Henry also loves ants. Yes ants. We clock many minutes watching those tiny creatures.
-He also loves his mon-hee (monkey), baby doll, going for stroller rides in jammies before bed, his buddy Nolan (Nono) at daycare, broccoli, berries, cheese, toy cars and trucks, bubbles, and washing his hands.
