henry and his grammy ... he is such a honey....

more...

sullivan loves to look out the window!

sullivan waits for his daddy to get home from work EVERYDAY... he gets so excited to play with Patrick after bathtime... you should see his face when he hears footsteps on the hardwood stairs! priceless!

henry loves to listen to books.... he loves, loves, loves to read.

Sullivan...

Sullivan is our not so little man on the move! He weighs in at a whopping 24 pounds and is growing right before our eyes! Sullivan loves to crawl...stand on his own...has perfected the sitting up routine... and is very content with himself now that he is on the move! Sullivan is most interested in his gross motor abilities...talks like it's his job...tackles his brother....would rather play than sleep...prefers to be naked rather than dressed... and wants to make a new world's record on the longest bath time EVER! He so loves the water/pool, splashing around, fountains and just plain having way too much fun! He is a hoot and a half... one of my favorite things is that he knows Henry hasn't mastered crawling just yet so he will crawl over and visit him and just giggle... they both crack up and I am just tickled pink to witness it! Oh, and one more thing... he LOVES it when Patrick reads to him at the end of each day... he waits for him to get home from work...and about does back flips when he sees him walk up the stairs... he doesn't look at the pages..he looks at his daddy's face....priceless!

Henry...

A few notes about good ol' Henry...

Henry sits up...rolls over...stands with help...scoots around... enjoys playing with small objects...reading books over and over...loves his thumbs, clapping, fiddling with his fingers, spending time with his abacus, blocks, singing and talking tons! He smiles at everyone and loves playing with his drum...another favorite of his is eating...Henry is so - so - so happy and he loves his brother...they are starting to play together more and more...they get so excited to see one another - I love it! Peek a boo is his new favorite game...and Sophie is his new favorite toy! Henry is VERY observant... he notices everything...anything new, different, he watches (stares) at people in public... he is yes, my baby....I love to people watch!

Henry weighs 23 pounds... like I said...he LOVES to eat!

the boys just being boys...

henry loves jumping!
