Henry 2.5

Henry is 2.5. Sometimes we forget that he is "only 2.5". With an older sister- we do set the expectations higher. And then times- we let him get away with more - because he is the "baby" of the family.

Henry's interview: (2/15/13)
- What is your favorite color? ORANGE  (of course)
- What is your favorite thing to eat?  cheese ORANGE (of course!)
- What is your favorite thing to drink? water (he does not like milk much)
- What is your favorite dessert? Birthday Cake
- What is your favorite toy? garbage truck (great future aspiration)
- What is your favorite show? Elmo (who else can talk to two year olds)
- Who do you like to play with? Lilly (they are playing well together- only occasionally fighting)
- What is your favorite park? Whale Tale (usually says the toddler park -Ecolini)
- What is your favorite song? Baby Beluga

He is doing great. Still runs into the walls in our hall when he tries running. While he is not the most active boy- he still is all boy sometimes. He is tearing things up - digging things up- messing things up. But thanks to school - he does know how to clean up and at times sings the "clean up song".

He is singing a ton and does so most by him self (when people are not watching). This is often in his bed or when he is playing by himself (which is he great at!). He does not perform for people. Often in crowds he is the observer.

He loves to assemble things - puzzles are still his favorite. But he does put together block towers and train tracks. Has a very strong memory when playing games. And knows all his numbers and letters.

We love watching Henry grow- and are appreciating the differences from his sister!

Great day skiing

Lilly's first ski lift at Snoqualmie Summit - Central. She did 7 runs and just loved it. It was fun to have her cousins and grandparents with her. The big joke was Grandpa was doing "dollar runs" because he was a "Super Senior" with a $12 ticket.

Here she is on the chair- Holiday. She was not scared a bit. By the end she was doing  top to bottom.

First play!

Aunt Brooke and Uncle "wheel" gave Henry tickets to Ziggy and Dot for Christmas. Henry lived it! Very interactive and perfect for a 2.5 year old. We learned how to share at the play. Wonderful afternoon with mom. What a champion, with no nap!

M's Fanfest

Mom & Henry had plans for a play (pics to come soon) so Lilly & Dad found some fun at Safeco Field for the annual M's fanfest.  Lots of cool stuff to try - Lilly liked running around the bases & the inflatable obstacle course.  She also confronted one her biggest fears- the Mariner Moose!

Skier

Our little gal is really liking skiing! She did not want to go in. Do fun to do it with our friends.

Good friends

The kids get along so well with Nathan and Anna! They switch off playing together. Great combo. We loved being in the snow, and playing around. Henry is so much more stable than last year.

Skiing

Lilly's 3rd time skiing first of the year! She did great, rope tow again and again! Nathan and Lilly had some good peer pressure.
