1 Year Stats

I forgot I didn't post anything about his weight and stuff for his big YEAR mark. He weighed 17 lbs and 12 oz, which isn't that far off from the last time he got weighed. He fell back off the charts and it made me nervous so I've been giving him little snacks all day. Turns out he HATES avocado, but LOVES cheese. He has also finally mastered the art of feeding himself, and can I just say how awesome it has been.

We also had to bid farewell to our beloved Bumbo chair. He was getting to the point where he would see something he wanted, and completely twist himself out of it. Not safe. So rather than drop 150 bucks on a high chair, I went out and bought this awesome little seat. He loves it, I love it, and Alan loves it (because it's red). Done and done.

What a cheese ball.


Something else that I love about Henry, is that he's pretty content on playing by himself. He likes to know that someone is in the area though, or else he gets nervous that we've left him for good.


I love this kid.

Bike Tour of the SLC Marathon!

At the beginning of this year, Alan and I promised each other we would be more active and physically fit. We both love to bike so I thought it would be fun to bike the marathon this year. Our good friends Ross and Jackie Pfeiffer also love to bike so we signed up with them. It was an awesome experience and I am so glad we did it.

Bright and early at the starting line.




1 down, many more to go!

Party take 2.

















We had a little banana split party on the day of Henry's birthday, and it was fun because all of Henry's friends were able to come. It's always a good time when we can get Eden, Champ and Henry together. Although come to find out, Henry is a little bit of a bully so we need to start practicing on our social skills. Luckily he didn't get anyone too bad!

Party!

















A BIG thanks to my mom for all her help in planning this birthday party. Also to all of you that made an effort to come! It was a great day and we will remember it for always. Happy Birthday Henry J.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!



Well Henry J, looks like we finally made it to the big FIRST birthday. Seems like a life time ago that you weren't willing to wait the last 3 months of pregnancy to make your grand entrance. I am grateful for the experience of visiting you in the hospital, because it made me become a stronger mother and person. Thank you for always showing me who I can, and want to be. Your daddy and I love you more than life itself.

Easter 2010

We didn't have a super eventful Easter this year. We were down in St. George, which is always a good time, but our little J came down with a stomach virus and could probably have cared less about anything. So I took a picture later on with his easter "basket" and the things Grandma and Grandpa got him. Next year should be better when he can walk (knock on wood) and actually look for eggs.
