I posted a couple of days ago that I was going to start a second blog that would sort of act as a more personal place for me to post and to branch out to a new community, so I did (yes I must have that much time on my hands)

I was inspired by so many before me, and my dear friend ALF who has two great blogs...
Enjoy

Henry's computer
Henry is in love with all things electronic. He loves my blackberry, our home phone, the remote controls, and of course the computer.
We decided that Henry really needed his own computer so that he would stop trying to bang on mommy's keyboard, so off to Target we went (there isn't anything that store doesn't sell, I am OBSESSED- ask my husband, or AMEX :) We found one that was made by LeapFrog, and decided that at $20 it was a steal. Yes, it said that the toy was made for children 3 and up, but who cares- Henry was going to love it.
So we get it home, and yep, he loves it. He bangs on it so hard, and it pushes the same buttons over and over. He is so sweet. Thought you might like a photo- one of our favorites, doesn't he look like such a big boy?

Warm!
We have been having the best weather here over the last few days, it has been in the low 70's and we are loving it!
Today, Henry and I went to lunch with an old friend of mine from High School, it was great to catch up, and Henry liked being out of the house for a couple hours. We were able to get some errands done (read: go to Target) and come home and sit outside for a while. It was great for him to play in the grass a little and I know he is going to be so happy when summer gets here and he can play outside EVERY day!
I have been contemplating starting another blog, I have spent a couple of days reading other blogs out there of young moms and young married women and I think it might just be a great way for me to network with some other women in my area (read: find more people to sell houses to!). I will keep you posted if I do- really just an outlet for my musings that won't interest my husband or my dad :)
Still working on the photo situation, I have some really cute new videos to update- Henry has decided that daddy golfing and hitting balls (or blocks) with Henry's baseball bat are REALLY funny.... soon, I promise!

"Uh-oh"
For those of you who don't know, Henry is a BIG talker. He babbles constantly- he talks to Bryan and I, he talks to the kitties and he talks to his toys. However, he hasn't really said any actual words until this week.
We still can't get him to say "mama", "dada" or "baba" but he has started to say "uh-oh" lots. He says it when he drops food off his highchair, he says it to his toys and we find that he just repeats it over and over for no other reason than to hear himself talk.
We are working on "mama", bird, and ball. We will see how it goes. He has also started a really nice new habit- growling. He thinks it is funny, so he does it all the time- both mad and happy times. He realized that if he growls with food in his mouth that the food goes all over the place, and he thinks that is hilarious. Can't wait for those terrible two's... that should be REALLY fun!
My camera cord is still MIA, so no pictures, but I do promise some by the end of the week (daddy has been very good about reminding me....)

Happy New Year!
Well 2009 is finally here, and I have to say that 2008 was a crazy year, so we are looking forward to a fun 2009!
We have lots of photos from Christmas time, and I will post them as soon as I can find my camera usb cord...
Henry had a great Christmas (we did too, but we have been told he is more important :) We spent Christmas Eve here at our house in Aurora. We made dinner as we do every year and were so happy to have my parents, GG and Aunt Jayme here to celebrate. Henry ended up with lots of loot, including a Tonka truck that he can walk behind from his Uncle Tyler. It was a fun night!
We spent Christmas morning with Grandpa and Nana Purvis, and again, Henry made out like a bandit! He got a new shopping cart, a radio flyer car (which he just LOVES) and tons of other toys. Our house is becoming over run with Henry toys, and we know that it will only just get worse from here on out. We are working on getting a playroom set up in our extra bedroom so that we can contain the mess a little!
We saw Grandpa and Grandma George the weekend after Christmas and it was fun for Henry to hang out up there. He got a new radio flyer wagon, which he likes because when he bangs things on it, it makes lots of noise. We can't wait for summer so he can use it lots!
We spent New Years at home with our little one, Bryan and I aren't big fans of New Years, so it was nice to stay home, make a nice dinner and watch a movie. I don't think we even came close to seeing the ball drop!
We had a great weekend following the New Year- Bryan and I were able to spend some time out ALONE (it feels weird...) and we went to lunch and a movie (the first one since January of 2008!) and enjoyed some real adult conversation (even if most of it was about Henry and family!)
Our 2009 is already shaping up to be a busy one.... we have weddings in March, September and December, Bryan will be travelling to Chicago in April for a couple days to draft his fantasy Baseball team and we hope to get in at least one trip sans baby before the summer.
We hope you all had a great holiday season and a great 2009!
