Henry is 2!

To those that have gone through having small children before us - thanks for reminding us how quickly the time flies!

Henry turned two at the end of January and we can't believe how quickly he's gone from a tiny infant with little chicken legs to the little brusier of a toddler he is now.

We celebrated at Choo Choo Bob's with friends and family and he had a wonderful time - running, laughing, playing and eating cake!!  He enjoyed playing with his birthday buddy Eli and having everyone sing Happy Birthday to him!

 

At his two year check up he weighed 27 lbs 10 oz and was 2 ft 9 inches tall.  James at two was 30 lbs 7 oz and 2 ft 11 inches tall.  He's trying to keep up to big brother in all departments!

He's been awesome about potty training thus far and mom and papa are hopeful to have him out of diapers before summer gets here.  We've gone over a month without having to change a poopy diaper!!

Henry's personality continues to develop and he's quite the talker just like his older brother.  He'll be quite vocal about things when he doesn't get his way and he sticks up for himself when James is picking on him.

Can't believe you're two Spanky!  Momma and Papa love you lots and are so excited to see you continue to grow and learn.  Hugs and kisses to our Birthday Boy!

Sesame Street Live, Take 3 for James - a New Experience for Henry!

When we heard Sesame Street Live was coming to visit Minneapolis again we knew it would be something that both boys would enjoy, whether for the first time, or again!

It just so happened to fall right around Henry's birthday too so we made it a special family night to celebrate.

Henry was so excited to see all his Sesame Street friends and James was constantly moving and grooving to all the music.  It was nice night to be there as it wasn't even close to a sell out so we literally had an entire row of seats to ourselves with no one sitting in front of us or behind us either.

Henry, just as James did two years ago, kept asking where all the characters were going when they left the stage.  "Where Elmo go?"  "Where Grover go?"  His most logical explanation was they "go nigh night."  But then he was just as excited to see them again two minutes later.

It was a fun night with our boys and has seemed to become somewhat a family tradition.  Not sure if Mr. Kindergarten will still want to go next year or not, but we've got about 12-months before we need to figure that out.
