15 Months

Henry is 15 months old today -- and very much turning into a busy little boy. He gets up around 7 each morning, takes a 2-3 hour nap and then goes to bed between 7 and 7:30. His favorite person is most definitely Jack, unless Nathan is around, and then Daddy wins every time.

Here are some of his favorites right now.

Food: Any and all fruits, but he would pick blueberries above everything else. He also really likes grapes, bananas and pears. He loves Kix and I let him try Chocolate Cheerios the other day, and he really likes those too. He also tries to drink my orange juice every morning. He is good about trying new things; just yesterday he gobbled up a ton of lasagna. However, he is not loyal to the food already in his mouth if I give him something that looks better to him. He'll just open his mouth and spit out everything to make room for the new food!

Toys: He loves stacking blocks and knocking them down, or filling up containers and dumping them out. I gave him poker chips and an old puffs container a week or so ago and he played with them for 20 minutes, filling it up and dumping them out. Also loves the ball tower with a hammer Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Anthony got him for Christmas. And the cuttable food and the play vacuum.

Books: Little People lift the flap books, Spot books, nursery rhymes, A You're Adorable, Baby Bible Sing and Pray. We read a lot because he doesn't like to drink his milk unless we are reading books in the dining room. So that means we read about 50 minutes to an hour every day! He figured out pretty quickly that if he drinks his milk slowly he gets to read more books.

Outside: He loves being outside. He walks around dragging the golf bag behind him. Or he wants to ride on the tractor or swing on the swing set. Some of the saddest moments in his little life have been when Jack's been outside playing and Henry has had to stay inside with me.

His personality is shining through more and more. He's very easy going when things are going his way... but he will let you know if he's unhappy about something!
