eleven months

there is just one month left before we have a ONE year old on our hands. seriously. where did the time go? buggy is changing so very fast. he has a bubbly personality and is rarely without his signature scrunched-nose-toothy grin.

he has plenty to say and we are loving hearing his deep voice (in the "I'm a baby" sort of way). here's an updated vocabulary list:
daddy!
momma
bah (ball)
hi
pup-pee (puppy)
nana
papa
dow (down - as in "get down" - read on folks)


he's a little love bug this one. he lays his head on your shoulder and says "ahh" right after laying a big ol' smoochie on your face. it melts my heart every single time.

thanks to a fun little friday night outing to the emergency room and a follow up "I'm pretty sure he still has an ear infection" doctor's appointment, we have some stats to report this month as well. henry bug is weighing in just shy of 20 pounds - 19 lbs. 9 oz. height unknown, but based on the high-water pants he's sporting these days, I'd guess he's still in the 90th %ile.

momma's intuition was right too - we definitely needed a new antibiotic


henry is much like miles in the sense that he's a great sleeper, human garbage disposal, loves to read and talk, and has a smile on his face at all times. but unlike his big brother, henry is a daredevil. he flies up a flight of stairs in a heartbeat, scales the little picnic table like a monkey, and thinks momma saying "I'm gonna get you" as he crawls away at lightening speed is the funniest thing. ever. and have I mentioned that he's fallen into the tub (sans water) more than once. he's a busy little bug for sure. 

his birthday will be bittersweet. I look at him and I'm a little sad that the time has rushed by too quickly. I'm sad that he's already starting to laugh when he gets away from me. BUT...I'm so proud of him. he's a sweet baby who LOVES to learn new things. he adores his big brother and thinks daddy is hysterical. we love every ounce of our little buggy and on january 26th we will celebrate this perfect addition to our family. stay tuned for party details!
