Our 1-year-old

Some things about our favorite Henry...

1. He has no teeth.
2. He is sleeping through the night...And yeah, that's a new development.
3. He LOVES to wrestle with Andrew.
4. He never lost his hair, but it has gotten much lighter since birth.
5. He loves to talk, but the only person he calls by name is Da-da and Papa. Everyone else is just acknowledged by a random sound.
6. He loves cars.
7. He started crawling at 5 1/2 months, but is still not walking. He does a fantastic Mowgli walk though.
8. He MIGHT have a little recessive shy gene in him. It's cute, he sometimes ducks his head when people talk to him. Not something we've experienced before.
9. He wants to eat big kid food so badly that he just kind of hovers around Andrew's table and then gnaws on whatever leftovers he can find.
10. He loves being outside, and we can't leave the door open for very long or he scampers out to the garden to eat dirt and play with his plants.

He got a plate of whipped cream for his birthday...No reason to make a birthday cake on Thanksgiving. :)
Licking his candle...

What 1-year-old gets a cheesecake for his birthday? This one does.

The long and short of it? We love him. We're so glad he's 1.

Oooh Oh Shag! Bah. I missed it. You mentioned that it was 85 the day before Thanksgiving, but failed to mention it was 45 the day of! It was a good TX Thanksgiving nonetheless;)
