One Year Stats:

weight: 24 lbs (67%)

height: 31 in (83%)

• Henry has two teeth and the next ones seem to be in no rush to get here. Despite that, he can eat almost anything he can get his hands on--except chinese chow mein noodles. That was a bad parent judgement moment...
• His favorite foods include ANY fruit in abundance. That's really the main thing. He also loves steamed broccoli and can eat it by the handful, over and over again. He eats 2-3 full pieces of pizza each time we have pizza and this morning he had almost 4 pancakes!

• He walks really well and almost runs. He still loves being held and he's a mama's boy. If he bonks himself and daddy is there to comfort him, he'll tolerate it for a few moments, then jump off daddy's lap and walk to me with renewed tears to let me know he needs me to comfort him, too.
• His favorite toys are cars, balls and wooden blocks of any shape. He likes leafing through books, too, but doesn't have as much attention for actually being read to.
• He dances! I remember Grace dancing as a baby, too, and gosh it's just so cute! He spins in circles, pivoting on one leg, while listening to music. He also nods his head like he's rocking out.

• His language skills are pretty hazy. Scott is convinced he says mama, I'm almost convinced. We think he knows dad, ball, vroom and Grace ("dace") but none of those are totally consistent. It's like he knows them for a couple days, then forgets them for a week. He nods and shakes his head for yes and no and he's good at pointing. Sometimes he gives me sign language for "all done" but nothing else has stuck.
• He's the cutest boy alive. I can say that because I'm his mother.
