Clearly, Henry is a BOY

This past July, Bryan and I decided to plant about 7 "mini-trees" in the backyard. ( I say mini-trees, because that is what they are NOW. Hopefully they will be bigger in the next 2 years to provide some privacy to the backyard)


Anyway, we were in the process of planting the last three on Saturday morning. Henry was playing in the yard in his jammies... having a good time I might add. He had managed to eat some dirt, throw some rocks and chase a bunny.... In the mean time we were busy trying to get the trees planted. We turned around at one point and saw this:



(and yes that is his knee covered in mud... let me just say, his entire backside was dirty!)

Playing with the mud and rocks

Digging in the hole.

Thank goodness he hasn't started playing with bugs... I am not sure I can handle that. Seriously. I freak out when I see miller moths. My family can attest to this. I scream. No joke.

See what I have to look forward to... by next summer he will want me to hold worms and will be collecting rocks. Ahhh. Boys.

Just like Nana?

Everyone knows that Nana is a clean freak , obessesd with cleaning , hates dust , likes her house clean. Everyone also knows that Henry's momma is nothing like that....

Well it seems to be rubbing off on Henry (this is actually a swiffer 360, he wouldn't let go of it). He likes to help clean up. Here are a few examples:



When you ask him to clean his hands off- he brushes his hands together quickly to get rid of anything dirty on them.

When he is done eating, he sweeps his hands across his highchair top or table top to clear everything off (even if there is still food there)

If he spills something on the floor, on his shirt, or anywhere else, he tries to rub/brush it off.

It is so cute, he must be a boy after nana's heart :)

Haircut

Although not TECHNICALLY his first haircut (we did one in the bathtub before Easter- and we will most likely do another one this fall/winter where they cut ALL the hair) Henry did get a trim at a real barber the other day. (I say "real", it was one of those places where you can sit in cars or on motorcycles- it was a hit)


Here are a few photos. It hurt my heart a little, but all they did was trim the bangs and around the ears. They weren't allowed to touch the curls... just too sweet for me still.(Daddy says it looks like he has a mini-mullet. It SO does not)



He didn't cry and he sat still (kind of) the whole time. He did tell the lady who was cutting his hair "NO!" and pushed her hand away a couple of times, but being the big boy he is, we got though it.

Halloween Costumes

So, I am aware that it is only the middle of August, but today while shopping at BRU my mom and I found an adorable costume.

It is a green dinosaur- it has purple spikes on the tail and purple spots. The picture online doesn't do it any justice, and Henry will look much cutter than this kid....

Hopefully this year Henry will not cry when we put the costume on, but don't count on it!

He will get lots of wear out of this I am sure- we have three sets of grandparents to celebrate with!

Overdue!

So we (ok, I) have been a little lazy with the blog these days.

I have lots to catch you up on: 4th of July, our trip to CA (and our trip to Napa without Henry) and a boy who is growing like a weed!

Look for an update before the end of the weekend, in the mean time, enjoy a couple of new pictures.

Henry doing what he loves best- playing in the car!

Sprinklers

There is a mall down the street from us that has outside sprinklers for the kids to run through.

Henry loves them. On this day Henry was running through the "little kid" spinklers. He really liked them... until he saw the "big kid" sprinkler. More photos to come....

The Zoo

Wow, it has been a while since our last post.

We have been busy, busy, busy here at the George house. Bryan has been working crazy hours and Henry and I have been busy enjoying some amazing Colorado spring weather.

Last week Henry and I ventured to the zoo with our friend Suzanne and her two little ones.... we had a great time.

I bet you are wondering, What did Henry like the best?

Was it the bears?

No.

Was it the friends?



Nope.


It was the ice cream.

Thanks to Mrs. Suzanne, we had soft serve ice cream. Henry loved it. I mean, thought he might die if he didn't have more immediately, kind of like it.

We will hopefully be going back to the zoo very soon, we have a membership now, so Henry can enjoy the zoo as often as his little heart desires....

We are headed to the pool for the first time this summer this coming Friday. Photos to come of that soon- we are hoping he loves it as much as he loves the bath tub and shower....
