What a week off! Kyle and I left Wednesday night for our couples getaway to Vegas. Thanks Dad for the skymiles! We ended up doing the trip for almost free. Can't beat that. We had a GREAT time, however have come to the conclusion that our next getaway will be much closer and more of a tranquil setting. We definitely enjoyed staying in bed, taking random naps and relaxing much more than going out. Although...the older Henry has gotten, the harder it makes it to leave. He had a blast home with his Grammy and my dad helped out and played with him for a bit as well. I don't even think he missed us!!!! :) He ended up sleeping 13+straight hours the day we got home...I ended up waking him up in the morning and bringing him in bed with us because I missed him so much and he just laid between us smiling and talking to the fan...:) <3
It is a few days early but I want to post about Henry at 15 months now! He is still in 18-24 month, or 2t clothes....and we bumped up to size 5 diapers. His eyes are still hard to tell what color they will be....so we call them hazel for now, mixed with brown blue and green. He is starting to play on his own with his toys more (and actually playing with some toys) like his cars, car garage, golf club and golf balls, basketball hoop and still loves books. He just loves the Lion King....I swear he wakes up sometimes and roars! It's so funny because he does the exact same thing at certain times in the movie...like certain dances for certain songs, and says uh oh or claps at certain parts. His grammy bought him some Lion King toys and he loves them and sleeps with Nala now. It's seriously so cute how much he loves it and just animals in general. He makes lots of noises that animals make, even more now than last month....and we always have him do what a mouse says..."squeak squeak"...but he does it really fast and quiet. Grammy said she had him do it the whole time we were gone:). If he says a cow anywhere he moos, or quacks for a duck. My favorite is Hippo..."Happo". I will post a video of him repeating all the words. This post I guess is mainly about his speech at this age....I cannot believe how much he says, how clearly and he is already stringing two words together! Whenever he hands us something he says thank you...and can I add it is the cutest sounding thank you I've ever heard? It's cute enough that when he hands US things he says it, but the way he says it...gets me everytime. He has also mastered all done...saying it, the meaning of it and he has known all done in sign language since about 6 months old. We crack up, because whenever we are done doing something, anything...in the background we hear "all done!" It's hard for me to wrap around how much he understands at his young age and how much he can say. Like....the other day...I didn't know he knew what an apple, penguin, tree or whale was...and he pointed all of them out to me on his playmat. I feel like stuff like that happens everyday that he surprises me with knowing. His kisses are the best right now and loves to give them, especially to mama and babies. We were at the playcourt at Great Lakes the other day and he was loving on a baby there...and I recognized right away that it was a little 7-8 month old red head cutie from his classroom at school! How stinkin cute that he recognized her?!? He sleeps through the night 97% of the time now I'd say.... for 11-12 hours. Sometimes he will nap for 3 hours a day, and other times 1 hour. Ya never know. So basically for being a wake up every 3 hours type of baby for the first 11 months of his life....he is a great sleeper now! I still sleep like crap and never seem to get a good nights sleep no matter what. Boo!
I have a project I am going to be working on soon...and I haven't even told Kyle! I've seen all of these awesome DIY pottery barn knock off tables on pinterest and other tutorial websites...and I am going to give it a try soon. I've always hated our high top table in our kitchen, it's beautiful, but not sturdy and just doesn't feel cozy to me. So.....that is on my agenda for the next month....I am sure Kyle will be thrilled.....:)
Well....back to work tomorrow, kind of looking forward to getting back in our routine...and I know Henry will be excited to go back to daycare, even though most of his daycare days are half days now...it still gives him 3 hours in the morning to play with his buddies and do some fun activities. I cannot believe that Friday is March 1st.... the way time is flying by nowadays is freaking me out.
Sorry about the weird, random post.... I will get back in a groove this week! :)
