Henry's exciting life

Henry has such an exciting life for such a youngster. On Friday morning, we had a special playgroup at the Carnegie Science Center in the city where He played in water fountains, and in a giant factory that transported and dropped those multicolored balls down on the kids' heads. He was loving it more than I thought he would, so I just might consider getting a family pass! Then, on Friday night we had a fondue party with our friends the Schrohowsky's and the Chou's and their kids and set up our new (but old) baby grand piano. Henry has bad a blast banging on the piano and constantly looks inside to see the hammers as he steps on the keys. He's so interested in what makes them move. Saturday, we drove three and a half hours to Hershey, PA to go to Chocolate World at Hershey Park. It was so fun to see the look on his face when he saw all the candy, stuffed animals and kids running around. He loved the chocolate ride and enjoyed very much destroying the displays of candy and toys, which I let him do because all the kids around him were picking up after him and trying in reprimand him for messing up the store. All us parents were just enjoying the scene. Some youngsters would say "No, you can't do that!" when Henry would slide ten bags of candy off the shelf, then as he looked at them with a quizzical look, he would just do it again. I just love that they expected him to understand what they were saying! haha! That day, we also took a tour of an indian cave and Henry loved that as well. He is a true outdoorsman and loves an adventure.


Today was a rough day. Henry fell down a few times, which is to be expected as he learns to walk, and scraped up his little chin and cheek and now I can't go get his photo taken and get the discount at Sears. Rats! Oh well.

We've also decided that he knows who "Daddy" is and doesn't really know who "Mommy" is yet. He also knows the word "trucks" because every time a truck from the constant construction drives by, he makes an "ssssss" sound because I always hold out the "s" sound on "trucks" for some reason. He crawls fast to the front windows and looks out at the passing dump trucks making his "sssss" sound. So cute. He is a big babbler, but doesn't say anything comprehensible. He isn't really getting sign language much yet, but I'm still going strong with it! I'm just glad he doesn't really cry or shreak when he wants something, and it's pretty easy to tell what he wants 99 percent of the time. What a good boy.
